About Picture Power

Helping Kids See the World Differently — One Photo at a Time


Picture Power has one simple goal:

To make photography  easy, accessible, meaningful and fun... especially for kids, families and educators!

Photography is one of the most powerful creative tools available to young people today. It builds observation skills. Confidence. Storytelling ability. Patience. Critical thinking.

But most teachers and parents don’t know where to start.

That’s where Picture Power comes in.


Teaching Photography


why we focus on kids & teens

Over the years, we heard the same things again and again:

  • “I want to teach photography, but I’m not a photographer.”
  • “I don’t have time to build a curriculum from scratch.”
  • “My students are interested, but I need structure.”
  • “I need something that works with smartphones.”

So we built it.

complete, ready-to-teach photography teaching kit designed specifically for real classrooms, homeschool settings, and clubs — without requiring technical expertise.



MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER BEHIND PICTURE POWER

Scott Umstattd

Hi, I’m Scott.

I created Picture Power to help make photography easier to understand, more creative and more fun.

After 20+ years behind the camera — and years of creating photography tutorials, examples and resources — I’ve learned that great photography doesn’t have to begin with complicated camera settings.

That philosophy is at the heart of the Picture Power teaching materials: give students a simple idea, let them experiment, and get them looking at the world in a new way.


designed for real educators

The Picture Power Photography Teaching Kit isn't a theory-heavy photography course.

It’s practical.

Every lesson is structured so you can:

  • Introduce a clear concept
  • Show examples
  • Give a creative challenge
  • Guide reflection and discussion

It works whether you’re:

  • A classroom teacher
  • A homeschool parent
  • An enrichment leader
  • A club organizer
  • Or someone simply passionate about helping kids create

And it works with whatever camera students already have.
