The workshop was led by renowned National Geographic photographer RJ Kern at the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art in David City.
Participants combined creativity with science as they learned the principles behind pinhole photography, constructed their own pinhole cameras, and captured unique images using this historic photographic process.
The workshop provided an engaging, hands-on learning experience that encouraged curiosity, artistic expression, and problem-solving while introducing youth to the fundamentals of photography.
During the Portraits at the Fairgrounds photography sessions, RJ Kern photographed Butler and Colfax County 4-H youth alongside their animal. Kern is a photographer for National Geographic.
