THE BASICS FOR BEGINNERS | {workshops} | january 2012

Are you passionate about photography, but don't know where to start? I know exactly how you feel. I remember those days! I bought my first SLR (film at the time) when I was sixteen. I was so excited. My dream of being a professional photographer was within reach. I soon realized buying a "fancy" camera, didn't make me a photographer. I had to learn how to use it first!

I've been asked many times over the past few years, if I would offer a photography workshop or one-on-one class. I'm excited to finally announce that I will be offering a Basic Photography Workshop in March.

Not everyone that buys a DSLR wants to be professional photographer. Many of you may just want to take better photos. That's cool. But, why invest in a prosumer or professional camera ($$) and leave the dial on auto? There is so much more you can do! Don't be intimidated by those other buttons. My workshop will not only show you how to use your camera, but also how to improve your photography using composition and how to shoot like a pro in manual mode.

WORKSHOP DETAILS

The Basics for Beginners Workshop is designed for any photographer just starting out. It will be a fun and interactive learning experience with 10 hours in-class training and 2 hours in-field. That's a total of 12 hours of fun with yours truly. ha ha. Don't run yet :D  It'll be fun, I promise!
