For 20 years, National Geographic Photo Camps have brought together teens and young adults to experience a week of photography while being mentored by some of the most celebrated photographers in the world. The program is tailored expressly for the young people who most need a reprieve from such challenges as displacement, poverty, or other forms of strife. At first, the participants are characteristically reticent to expose their personal pain. But with coaching and community-building, they find their individual voices, articulating their fears and hopes in stunningly expressive photographs and deeply candid writing. This inspiring book of photography unfolds as a series of topical chapters, organised around issues such as identity, community, conviction, and creativity.
Featuring 250+ remarkable student images from more than 35 countries, this lush coffee table book celebrates 20 years of National Geographic's legendary photo camp program, demonstrating the power of photography as a tool for self expression and change.
"Photo camp inspires kids to be explorers…to explore their own world in a deeper way and ultimately change all of our worlds." - National Geographic Explorer Amy Toensing
"Now I can tell a story using pictures. I can now let the world know what is happening here." - Bullen Chol, Photo Camp South Sudan
