Camden as a Catwalk Fashion Course

Our photography academy is aimed at students interested in photography who would like to develop an everlasting knowledge of the craft and build a professional portfolio for their future. Building from the ground up, our 4-level course covers an in-depth understanding of the camera and lighting, while aiding the development of your own voice using photography. We will explore the genres of photography so that you can find your space in the medium, all culminating in a final exhibition that will give your work exposure and build up a professional portfolio.The structure, teaching, and experience you receive through the academy are unique, as it is equivalent to GCSE-Level Photography. The Academy begins with introductory courses about mastering the camera and includes different levels to accelerate into and develop your skills. Certificates are awarded at the end of each level. We focus on teaching photography as a whole subject, including its history and most influential photographers, to develop the student’s understanding and appreciation of the art of photography. WHAT IS HvH ARTS?HvH ARTS is a registered charity inspiring the next generation of young people by offering them a gateway to the arts. Young people need positive outlets for their energy. HvH ARTS provides and nurtures that outlet with the following core aims:

• Delivering free after-school clubs in various arts and media subjects at primary and secondary schools in England.
• Delivering free out-of-school classes in various arts and media subjects.
• Providing materials to our scholars and beneficiaries for use in the study of the arts.
• Providing primary and secondary state schools in England with arts-related materials and funds for out-of-school trips and excursions.
• Developing out-of-school excursions and trips to events centred on the arts, including visits to art galleries, the theatre, exhibitions and places of artistic interest.
• Supporting vulnerable children and young people at risk with THE MUSIC MENTORING PROJECT.

Additionally we nurture our young people’s talent and self-worth by recognising our most determined and passionate or talented artists on ’The HvH Arts Scholarship’. This is a programme which concentrates on each and every individual scholar to develop their skills to a level to gain entry into colleges and universities in which we support them with our courses, resources and materials to enhance study in their chosen medium.We are also proud to represent a Youth Ambassadors Board of young people aged 14 to 21 years. Youth Ambassadors demonstrate great discipline in their chosen art form, promote good mental health awareness, and support other young people on our progressive programmes such as TMMP and the HVH ARTS Scholarship Programme.In the face of rising youth mental health challenges, we have launched a new initiative that utilises creative expression as a tool for healing. Our Mental Health Exploratory Art Pilot Programme delivered one-on-one monthly art sessions to children aged 5 – 18 who have been long-time participants of HvH Arts. These children face emotional and social challenges, and this programme offers them a safe, consistent space to express themselves and build confidence.
