In-Person Beginning Photography Workshop

Are you interested in photography but are struggling to use your camera as well as you would like? Tired of having to spend hours on YouTube looking for answers to questions? Just love taking beautiful images and want to do more with your camera?

This 6-week in-person photography workshop will get you out of auto mode and creating beautiful images of whatever subject inspires you! This course is for anyone wanting to know more about photography and understanding how their camera works. We will be covering the exposure triangle, composition, editing, equipment choices and more.     Each class will focus on specific aspects of photography and using your equipment to create amazing images. After covering the new information, we will have the opportunity to try out our new skills with hands-on activities to provide a chance to get feedback and questions answered right away. Then each week we will have homework to continue working on your new skills, and a private online group to post images and ask questions of the instructor and peers throughout the week.
