Take Control Of Your Camera

Basic Photography Classes

 

"I need more practice always but just wanted you to know how much more I'm enjoying my camera by being able to control what it does.  Manual mode helps me know where I am and no guess work.   Just wanted to thank you so much for everything and giving me a direction with hope"...Cheryl G.

"I've wanted to get into photography all my life and with your photography class, camera instruction, Photoshop lessons and your willingness to continue answering endless questions my goals are becoming a reality!"...Amber M.

"Thank-you for giving me the basic buliding blocks of photography, upon which I've been able to lauch a professional career"...Eric Williams

If you love to take photographs but want more control and quality, classes are now available. Improve your understanding from the click of the shutter to the final print. The course meets one day a week, two hours each session, for four weeks. Classes are always small, usually three or four students, and times can be arranged that work with the schedules of all concerned. At least one hour of the final class will be used to photograph a live fashion model in the studio with lighting you can easily duplicate at home. Analyzing and discussing work of Mr. Baker as well as many of the great photographers of the past will be part of each session. Students are encouraged to bring in their own work for critique. You will learn about using your camera as a creative tool. You will learn the basics of shutter speed, aperture (f-stops), depth of field, white balance, menus, focus areas, exposure and meter readings, flash, filters, and more.. You'll learn the basics of working with available and natural light and using the flash. Includes a book of class notes. $150 (plus tax) for four week (8 hours) class. Tuition includes one additional hour of private individual time.

NEXT CLASS SCHEDULE:

Classes normally meet Monday evenings from 7:00 PM- 9:00 PM. Since classes are always small, alternate times or days can sometimes be arranged.

Next class scheduled to start Monday, March 5. I'm aiming for Monday evenings in March but can often change days or times to accommodate schedules. There will be no classes in April as I will be shooting on location in France. The next class after March is scheduled to start Monday, May 7..
