This 1-day photography class offers the beginner student an opportunity to learn how to photograph moving subjects. Whether you photograph sports, animals, water or children, your photographs can look sharper. Learn to use your camera's Shutter Priority mode (known as S or TV) which is one of the key elements to creating stunning photographs. In the examples I've photographed above, I chose to either freeze motion or show a slow motion effect. These are choices I made to control the outcome. Whether you need a refresher class or learn more about your camera, this class is a great beginning.
The Automatic mode does not give you full control of your camera. Photography manuals and books can be confusing. Cell phone photography doesn't always produce the best quality photo. However, I strive to teach photography in a fun, clear and simple to understand manner. I will teach you how to gain control of your camera by hands-on instruction with your individual camera. The more you're able to come out of the automatic modes, the more you're able to control the outcome - resulting in better photographs.
Getting my Master's in Education taught me how to have a interactive teaching style. I provide one-on-one attention to you and your camera. In addition to individualized assistance, I use photo book examples by world renowned photographers, and informative handouts. Most importantly, students will practice photographing alongside me on field trips to local inspiring places. This is something that most other photography classes don't offer, but I feel learning by doing is the best way to learn photography.
Class size is limited to 7 students so individual attention can be given.
