Through the past couple of years, I have been approached several times in regards to a photography or modeling class of some sort. A new recent request to do the same had me thinking. And aside from being totally greatfull for people out there that enjoy my work enough to suggest it, I have decided to dive right in. Thats right. This Summer for the very first time, Robyn Baty Photography will be offering 2 camps for kids/teens.

The first will be a photography camp. There will be a Junior level - ages 8 - 13, and a Senior Level - ages 14- 18. Everyone will need to bring their own camera. And it can be any type, from kodak pocket cams to semi/pro Nikon. The camp will be a duration of 3 weeks, meeting 2 days a week for 2 hour sessions. We will discuss different types of photography, the art of light, studio photography, working with clients, posing, etc. One day a week will be located in studio, the second day will be on location. All information given will be age appropriate and "campers" will end with a basic understanding of camera function and the art of photography.

The second camp is a beginer Modeling camp. Same with the photography camp, there will be a Junior level - ages 8 - 13 and a Senior Level - ages 14 -18. The camp will focus on inner beauty and self confidence. We will learn about designers, fashion, the fashion industry, posing, etc. Make up artist and Stylist Melissa Stillman will help to head up this group and show the girls basic hair styles for both levels and simple make up application techniques for the Senior Level. All infomation given will be age appropriate and "campers" will end with a basic understanding of modeling, the fashion industry and the art of posing.

This is a fully insured camp, under the business of Robyn Baty Photography. For both camps, one day a week will be spent in studio the second will be on location within Hornell. There will be guest appearences to both, by Professional Models and Photographers for additional tips and activities. Robyn Baty Photography will not at any time suggest diets or that any shape, size, gender, color is better then another. We believe whole heartedly that everyone is beautiful in their own way and will have a no tolerance policy for such behaviour. Understand, this is a basic course in modeling and or photography centered around the art of the fashion industry.

The camp will be from July 12 - July 28. Each camp will meet 2 days a week for 3 weeks for 2 hour sessions. Campers will need to provide a bagged lunch for each day as well as their own transportation. Cost is $75 per camp or $100 for both. I will be the main instructor for both camps, assisted by Professional Make Up Artist and Stylist Melissa Stillman.

Times are as follows:
Junior Models will meet Tues and Thurs each week from 10am - 12pm
Senior Models will meet Tues and Thurs each week from 12pm - 2pm
Junior Photographers will meet Tues and Thurs each week from 2pm - 4pm
