This six hour workshop plus three-hour follow-up session is taught in a classroom setting by photographer Susanna MacKenzie Euston using slide presentation, demonstration, and individual one-on-one instruction. You will also receive informative handouts.
The workshop is given over three evenings — three hours each. The first will include a discussion of photography basics; the second will review the first session, look at the work you've produced between classes, and focus on staging and lighting with shooting of samples of your work that you bring to class; the follow-up class will provide critique and assistance in resolving challenges, with more hands-on work.
Required: Bring your digital camera (camera features must incude, at the very least, "aperture & shutter preferred" (manual exposure preferred) and 5 MB resolution), it's instruction book, and lenses (close-up, too, if you have one) if you are shooting a SLR.
Class Size: Limited to ten students.
