Catalog of images from the 2017 Youth Photography Project. Photographers are aged between 7 to 15 yrs. This project is supported by Canon USA and all work is shot on Canon Rebel cameras.

The Columbia College Chicago Photography Department traveled in April 2017, to Wilson, North Carolina, delivering photography workshops for one week to over 100 students. Students received a brief and concentrated presentation and then, along with a trained instructor, explored downtown Wilson in small groups with Canon Rebel digital cameras. The results of the project were exhibited at a gallery opening as part of the Eyes on Main Street Photo Festival. A complete archive will be given to the city of Wilson which will stand not only as a historic marker for the city but also a vivid reflection of the true potential of the students and community. This project was made possible through the generous sponsorship of Canon USA's Rebel With a Cause program, providing instruction, cameras, and equipment, along with Hahnemühle's donation of fine art paper.
