Giving Young People Photo Opportunities

Photo Opportunities, or Photo Opps, was created to provide talented young photographers involved in Venice Arts' programs with an opportunity to apply their creativity, knowledge, and skills through on-the-job training as photographers and assistants. Youth participating in Photo Opps are experienced in photography and work alongside professional photographers to ensure that the client gets the quality of images needed.

Photo Opps is one way in which individuals, corporations, the nonprofit sector, the funding community, and others can support the free programs of Venice Arts while receiving quality photographic services.



Photo Opps is under the direction of three-time
Pulitzer nominee Jim Hubbard
