FAQs
How is this class different from our Photography I class?

Introduction to your camera is a two-hour workshop where you will get a very basic understanding of your camera. You will work in P mode (taking partial control).

In Photography I you will learn to take absolute control of your camera in manual mode over a period of 6 weeks.

What camera do I need to take this class?
All you need for this class is a camera that allows you to take pictures in P mode.

No prior knowledge of photography is needed.

    Really helpful. A manageable amount of info, some of which we put into practice in the class. I left with some simple guidelines that I can use immediately to support the development of my photography. Definitely considering signing up for a series of classes, to go deeper.
