Class Description
This class is hosted each week, on Friday night for 4 weeks. Each week we’ll break down the barriers to using your camera to create the types of photographs you want to make. We’ll discuss why your camera doesn’t always produce what we see and how to make that happen. Additionally, we’ll tackle the technical aspects of photography (exposure, focus, lens choices). Too, we’ll look at ways to incorporate emotion and creativity in our photos.

The Ultimate Beginner Photography Class is for new photographers or photographers who are frustrated with their cameras or their abilities to create the types of photos they want to create. Students ages 15 and above are welcome (12 and above are welcome online or with a parent).
