I’ve been able to connect with a lot of photographers on threads using a “dear algorithm” post.

Here are some ideas that might work well for your bootcamp:

Photo Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or themes for participants to photograph. These can range from simple objects to more abstract concepts like ‘joy’ or ‘movement’. This encourages creativity and exploration.

Portrait Challenge: Pair participants and have them take portraits of each other. This can include various styles such as candid, posed, or environmental portraits. Discuss aspects like lighting, angles, and composition.

Street Photography Session: If your location permits, have participants venture nearby to capture street scenes. This introduces them to capturing spontaneous moments, understanding framing, and the ethics of photographing strangers.

Architectural Photography: Focusing on buildings and structures, this project can teach participants about lines, symmetry, and perspective.

Reflection and Refraction Photography: Use mirrors, water, or glass to create interesting effects with reflection and refraction. This can result in unique and artistic images.Each of these projects encourages participants to explore different aspects of photography while keeping them engaged and creative within the limited time frame.
