Real World Mentorship for Emerging Photographers
Da Vinci Families,
I am excited to share an opportunity for senior students who are interested in photography. The Bridge program is a 16-week hybrid opportunity for emerging photographers aged 18-26. This program provides students with a platform to expand their knowledge and explore various aspects of photography. Students will receive mentorship from industry professionals to develop their projects. This program is free and the application deadline is May 26, 2023. Feel free to contact me at ehernandezrosas@davincischools.org for any questions.
