It’s World Photography Day! 📸✨🎞️

World Photography Day is a day to celebrate the invention of the daguerreotype, a photographic process developed by Louis Daguerre in 1837.

189 years later, we have the honor of witnessing and supporting the next generation of photographers! It’s a gift to see what young creatives want to show to the world, and to be a part of it.

We’re excited to introduce you to Anthony! He is the teacher for this week’s Music Video Camp. We can’t wait to show you what his class made 📸

“I’m Anthony Martinez, a Seattle photographer and filmmaker. For me it’s never really been about the gear — it’s about the person in front of it. I built my whole practice on that: soul before technique, every time. That’s what I bring into the classroom too. Kids do their best work when they feel safe, seen, and trusted — so that’s what I try to give them first.”
