Summer Basic
Our Summer Showcase celebrates the creativity and accomplishments of the latest graduates of our Basic Course. Over the summer, these students have learned the fundamentals of photography, developed their skills behind the camera, and created a collection of images that reflect their unique perspectives and experiences.
Come see the hard work they’ve put into their photography and celebrate this exciting milestone with them!
CoGen 2026
In partnership with Innovation 80, five FreshLens Chicago students were paired with five retired adults for a unique intergenerational photography collaboration. Together, each pair explored their shared perspectives and experiences through photography, creating a collection of images that celebrates connection, creativity, and storytelling.
Their collaboration culminated in a beautiful book and showcase featuring the photographs they created together. Come see what these pairs have created and celebrate this special collaboration with us!
