Register NowThe goal of our team building courses is to take employees out of the office and have fun doing photography exercises which empower individuals, improve communication skills and staff bonding. We have developed our courses to improve interpersonal relations and social interactions where every team member feels valued.
The beauty of using photography for team building is there is no correct answer; it’s an art form depending on individual interpretation. Everyone wins! Everyone learns more about taking great photos. It’s also a great outdoor activity in a non-threatening cooperative environment.
Photography Scavenger Hunt
We meet at a mutually agreed upon location. Your employees are split into 3 or 4 groups, depending on the total number of people participating. Each group is given the same 18 challenges for taking photographs. Each challenge works with a photography concept. For example rule of thirds. Participants go out and do the first 9 challenges with everyone taking photos. After an hour they return to base and each group picks out their best 3 photographs. We show them to everyone and each team discusses why they chose their photos. We repeat this for the next 9 challenges.
We are there to assist with photography questions, and provide photography tips. We also facilitate showing the photos on a screen at the end of each hour.
We award a best photo, best group overall and most unique photograph.
Participants can use any camera they have – digital SLR, point and shoot, even their cell phone or a tablet.
If you’ve been looking for a very unique team building event that really does develop communication skills, self-confidence and a sense of camaraderie, there really is no better choice than our photography team building courses.
Team Building Course Fee: 49 per person, minimum 8 people.
