The Mission

At ANTWYONE WASHINGTON PHOTOGRAPHY, we believe strong communities are built when skills, space, and opportunity are shared. By teaching local youth 18-24 photography and small-business basics, we foster creativity, confidence, and practical pathways to future success — all from our warm, inviting local and home studios.

What we offer

Hands-on photography workshops for young people: camera basics, composition, lighting, posing, and editing.
Business skills sessions: branding, pricing, client communication, contracts, and social media for creative entrepreneurs.
Access to studio space and equipment: cameras, lenses, lighting, backdrops, and a cozy, professional environment to practice and create.
Mentorship and portfolio development: one-on-one guidance, constructive feedback, and help building a portfolio that opens doors to jobs and further education.

Why this matters

Builds trust: Opening our studio and expertise to youth demonstrates commitment to community growth and creates positive relationships between generations.
Expands opportunity: Practical skills in photography and business equip students with marketable talents that can lead to freelance work, internships, scholarships, or steady employment.
Encourages inclusion: Providing space and equipment removes financial barriers so bright minds from all backgrounds can explore creative careers.
Strengthens confidence: Photography teaches self-expression and professionalism — tools that help youth in school, work, and personal life.

How we implement it

Free and low-cost workshops offered regularly with flexible scheduling to fit school and family commitments.
Get involved

Volunteer your time, donate equipment, or sponsor a scholarship to help a young photographer get started.
Recommend students who would benefit from a creative, supportive learning environment.
Attend our student showcases to celebrate local talent and support the next generation of photographers and small-business owners.

Together, we can create a community that trusts in its young people, gives them the tools they need, and watches them flourish. ANTWYONE WASHINGTON PHOTOGRAPHY is proud to open our doors, our gear, and our hearts to cultivate the bright minds of the future.

Antwyone Washington — Photography Instructor and Portrait Specialist

What they’re saying

"Antwyone is one of my favorite people to work with—he shows up prepared and genuinely excited to make something great. He puts people at ease with how respectful and present he is, and he creates a vibe where everyone feels comfortable being themselves. He’s also super welcoming as a collaborator: he listens, shares ideas, and will even give up his own time to make sure everyone can take part. He loves the craft of photography and isn’t afraid to take creative swings, but he always keeps the experience grounded in respect for peers and the people in front of his lens."

Stephen Smith -Photographer/Retoucher
When I think of Antwyone , I think of him as always being my ace in the hole. My Joker. My wild card. Just a solid man!! One that you will always have tucked in your arsenal to do amazing things. From the time I met this man he exhibited so much support, creativity, and openness to the craft of photography. He’s been so instrumental of in my success and growth and confidence as I have all gotten into this field. Starting out, he has always been very free and open with his advice and his expertise and experience in this field and I hope he understands how valuable his presence really is.

“What an honor. Antwyone acts with professionalism & works constantly to perfect his craft. Allowing for the model to dive into their own creativity, he helped tweak what would look best given the lighting environment but still encouraged me to have fun and experiment with posing. Upon moving to Seattle, Antwyone and his team helped to reinspire me to fall in love with the fun fashion, photography, and modeling. Its much more than the photos, its an experience.”
