Classes

Small Group Classes:

These Small Group Classes are designed to help you make better images, regardless of your gear.  5 seats available in each class and classes are held on Wednesday nights in our studio.  This page will be updated with open slots as more dates are opened.

Camera ControlISO, aperture, shutter speed

To me, this is where it all starts.  If you don’t know what the camera is doing, you’re never going to get any better at making images.  ’P’ mode works in very few situations.  Actually taking control of the camera is essential to getting YOUR creativity into the image.  And seriously, it’s easier than you think.  MOST of the ‘stuff’ on your camera can be ignored…understanding ISO, aperture and shutter speed, and how each plays into your image will allow you to make better images, more often, in more situations.

Digital Darkroomfile management, workflow, editing

This should actually be first, but I realize most people just want to shoot and might not KNOW that they SHOULD care about this part.  Understanding just how important the Digital Darkroom is, particularly to digital photographers, is essential.  Don’t skip this class just because it might sound boring on the surface – I promise it wont be!

Lightingnatural, on-camera, off-camera, mixing

Understanding lighting and how YOU are in CONTROL of it will make for better images instantly.  From simple to complex, we’ll talk about it all.

These classes will be limited to 5 people per class, on a first come, first served basis.  To reserve a spot, the course fee will need to be paid in full.  If you’re thinking about attending any of these, get a hold of someone at the studio ASAP.  We can’t reserve a spot until the fee is paid.  And on that note, each class is $75 and will be held at the studio.

  • Scheduled almost any time there’s an opening for your schedule and mine
  • First class is a 2 hr intro class at $75.  The intro class is designed to help me better understand your needs so I can tailor future classes accordingly.
  • After the intro class, sessions are $50/hr, booked in 1-3 hour blocks
  • You can also schedule a batch of classes for a reduced rate – 6 session hours for $250, scheduled however you’d like.
  • Most classes will start in the studio – we’ll decide together where were headed from there if location work is the order of the day
  • I have a basic plan for how I’d like these to go, but it’s YOUR PERSONAL class.  We’ll work on whatever you’d like.
