P h o t o I - is a four week long beginner photography class to teach adults more about their cameras and how to take better photographs. This class is for adults with NO prior experience using their camera in any other settings other than the Automatic modes.
Kelly Mintz teaches, in a clear and simple manner, how to use your camera {Aperture and Shutter} modes. The more you're able to use these semi-automatic modes, the more you're able to control the outcome - resulting in better photographs.
You will learn the importance of choosing optimal outdoor lighting conditions and how to use your flash properly. Tips for improving photographs of people, landscapes, etc. will also be taught. This is extremely useful for any beginner photographer.
Kelly's teaching style is very interactive. She provides one-on-one to you and your camera. In addition, individualized assistance, she also uses lecture, photo examples by world renowned photographers, and informative handouts. Most importantly, students will practice photographing on fun field trips!
After a lecture, Kelly will accompany the class on a field trip. This is something that most other photography classes don't offer, but she feels learning by doing is the best way to learn photography and practice using your camera.
Students will have the opportunity to present some of their photos to the class for non-judgmental, constructive and positive feedback.
Field Trips
The class chooses where to go on these field trips. Students have been to Spencer Peirce Little Farm, Topsfield Fair, Maudsley State Park, Salisbury Beach reservation, the old snuff mill in Byfield, Newburyport's Oldies Flea Market, Castle Hill in Ipswich, sunflowers at Colby Farm, Plum Island Reservation, Nunan’s Florist, the Newburyport Farmer’s Market, and even an old jail in Newburyport!
Class size is limited to 7 students so individual attention can be given. To sign up please read below.
