The Soaring Eagle Friendship Centre hosted a four-day youth photography workshop featuring Aaron Tambour and Michaela Crook Feb. 22 to 25.

Tambour and Crook spent much of the week teaching participants the important parts of starting a photography business. The friendship centre, meanwhile, asked participants to demonstrate through a photography assignment how Covid-19 impacted their lives personally.

The workshop had about 30 participants and organizers were enthused with the turnout.

SA国际影视传媒淲e were kind of worried originally that we would only be around 20 people but we had ended up with a full 25 on the first night and then we had about six more people came the next night so we had to set up more tables,SA国际影视传媒 Crook said.

Crook said that because of the amount of suffering that Covid has caused the community that the photography sessions were something needed to lift spirits.
