About this class

From cinematic portraits to experimental nature shots, this hands-on class is all about seeing the world differently—and capturing it through your lens. You’ll go on photo adventures (hello, field trip!), design your own yearbook-worthy portrait, and even craft a photo to pair with your favorite song. With a camera in hand and a creative spark in your eye, you’ll experiment with storytelling, explore your personal style, and walk away with work that’s 100% yours.

Gear + Software:

  • Canon DSLRs
  • Light panels
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Adobe Premiere

Great for students who are curious about film, visual storytelling, marketing, or travel—and want to start developing their artistic voice. Perfect for beginners and creative explorers alike; no experience needed!

Registration closes October 6th.

Meet the Mentor

Loren Brunken (she/her)

Film Mentor

Hello! My name is Loren Brunken. I am the non-fiction film mentor here at Spy Hop. I teach Filmmaking Basics, Set Production, and PitchNic.

I’m a film artist who loves experimenting with a wide variety of artistic mediums. Film became a passion of mine in my early teenage years through Stop Motion, Documentary, and Experimental filmmaking. Film serves the story of life, in a way which I find incredibly gratifying to be a part of.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Media Arts Studies, with an emphasis in Screenwriting and New Media. I have worked professionally as a Screenwriter, Editor, Digital Imaging Technician, Production Assistant, and Media Services Specialist.
