Our co-founder, Jeremy @je_remy_lopez, led videography workshops over the span of two days. Our mentees learned about Pre-production, Production, and Post-Production, as well as planned out their video project for the Fall. We are so excited to see what our mentees come up with.

Freelensing Workshop

Our mentees participated in a freelensing workshop led by, Adri @adridelacruz_photographer. This workshop was super interesting and gave the mentees complete creative control over their photos. Freelensing is a technique used by photographers where the lense is 1cm away from the camera body, this effect gives the photo a vintage look and a unique blur. Our mentees got to ask questions, take notes, and put their knowledge to use.

We invited Kameka, CEO of The Full Story Resume Writing Services, back to lead another virtual workshop to our new group of mentees. We had the honor of her presenting to our Spring mentees back in April. Our mentees had the opportunity to learn how to write a resumé, and learned tips and tricks on what recruiters look for in a resumé.

Our mentees played an ice breaker, took notes, asked questions, and now have some knowledge on how to write a resumé! Follow along @thefirehousedream to see their progress, and live in action workshop behind the scenes.

During this workshop our mentees were introduced to the 3 different ways to control light…Aperture, ISO, and Shutter. After Jasmine, the co-founder and executive director, led this workshop, our mentees went outside to put all that they learned to the test. They worked in groups of two, discussing and sharing which settings worked best for their photos. Not only did this test their knowledge, it was also a team building exercise. We are so proud of our mentees for working together and being confident in what they learned.
