Classes can be taught in-person or online via Skype or Facetime.
The beginner’s class is designed to help you become more comfortable with your camera and to help you take better photographs. You will learn the all-important exposure triangle, composition, white balance, shooting and metering modes, and what many of those buttons and dials are on your camera.
You will need to bring your camera and manual. Familiarity with your camera is not necessary. A follow-along course guide for you to take home will be provided. You will leave the class with a better understanding of how to take your camera off Auto mode and get into the all-important Manual mode.
The advanced class delves more into the details of photography such as picking focal points, custom white balance and other custom settings. You can review what you learned from the beginner class, then dig into the advanced. It takes a more in-depth look at actual shooting in different situations such as a portrait session or action settings. Getting out and taking photos for practice is an option for this if time and weather allows.
The classes are two to three hours each depending on how quickly understanding takes place. The cost for the Beginner class is $175 and includes a take home booklet. The Advanced class is $150. If you schedule both classes at the same time (can be taken different days) you will receive a discount of $25.
