THE GOAL

A class taught in totally normal English, with all technical stuff explained!

If you are tired of taking photos that don’t turn out and struggling with your camera without really knowing how to use it, this course is for you. You’ll find that you’re not alone – a good camera won’t magically solve your problems with getting a good photograph.

Spend time with a professional photographer of 13+ years as she gives an outline of how your camera works, how to think about taking a photo, and know that it has a good chance of turning out, how to sort through those photos, and more.
