Photography Workshops with Kim Soles
For Ages 9–12
Kim Soles is a lifelong photographer who has spent many years inspiring young people through the art of photography. With a deep passion for nature and visual storytelling, Kim has guided students to explore the nuances of lighting, contrast, texture, and composition. Her love for the craft has influenced dozens of aspiring photographers, particularly through her bi-annual classes at The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania. For over 15 years, she has led summer camps and after-school workshops designed to nurture creativity and personal expression through the lens.
As photography evolves with the rise of digital and phone cameras, Kim focuses not on the technical aspects of operating a device but on teaching students how to see. She helps them shift perspective, become attuned to light and subject, and develop the patience necessary to capture a meaningful image. Her approach encourages young photographers to connect deeply with what they see and how they interpret it.
