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.
