Basic Photography Principles Workshop

Middle schoolers interested in photography can learn about the basic aspects of exposure: shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Led by instructors from the Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts.

Cameras will be provided for students to practice with. Instructors will break down the mechanics of the exposure triangle, and how to properly work with shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. By the end of this class, students will have an understanding on how to create a photograph, using their own lighting adjustments, so that they get the look they want.

Registration is appreciated, but not required. 

In partnership with the Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts

About the branch

NOTE: The Main Library's Rooftop Terrace is closed for renovations.

Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.

A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
