About the Exhibition

During the course, young students aged 14-18 learned the fundamentals of composition, worked with professional cameras and lighting, and analyzed the works of outstanding photographers. Participants created their own stories about places and people, expressed through visual language.

Themes such as the seaport, airport, beach soccer, and the dolphinarium allowed them to immerse themselves in various aspects of life in Batumi. Through their projects, students learned to convey atmosphere and emotions through the lens, mastering the skills of visual storytelling.

At the final presentation, the students showcased their photo series and shared their experiences of creating their first photo project. This course was an important step in their artistic development, boosting their confidence and desire to continue their creative journey.
