Special Focus Photography Program Application

Special Focus is a four-day intensive during Boston Public Schools’ February Break. In Special Focus, teens can expect to learn photography skills and how to use a DSLR camera to create unique portraits.

During this four-day intensive, teens will explore photography through the lens of portraiture: understanding what it means to create a strong portrait, how to utilize studio lighting to create portraits, and what techniques a photographer can use to capture “the essence” of another person. The program will lead teens through the basics of portraiture photography and working with equipment to build up to an event on Thursday, February 20th where Special Focus will host “ICA Picture Day.”

Special Focus takes place Tues–Fri, Feb 18–21, 2025, 11 AM–5 PM each day at the ICA’s Seaport Studio. Teens will have an hour-long lunch break each day.

For teens currently in high school and at least 14 years old. Special Focus members earn $360 for completing the 20-hour program.

We are prioritizing Boston Public School Applicants. This application allows us to create diverse groups that represent new and important perspectives. 

Please answer all questions intentionally. Apply by January 5th.
