Through photography AFH teens document the reality of urban life.  Apprentices learn commercial, documentary and fine art photography in both traditional and digital platforms. Through portraiture and product photography, which require specialized lighting and backdrops, teens learn to market their own commercial services. They process their own black and white prints and learn to mount them for exhibitions. The teen photographers also create digital images for design clients, collaborate on the Boston Globe Foundation’s Teens in Print, and contribute images to AFH’s website and all identity materials. Youth are trained on the technical and artistic aspects of website design and development, applying these skills toward the design and maintenance of the AFH and Teens in Print websites.
