We are excited to share that two new instructional videos on abstract photography and creating a photography portfolio have been completed. These resources are designed to help 4-H members enhance their photography skills and prepare their projects for submission at the state fair. Unfortunately, these are the only two categories that are completed at this time. However, this is just the beginning of an ongoing project to create more instructional content for our 4-H members. You can view them here. Videos will be posted to this folder as they are completed.
