Covering the Basics​​

In this class we’ll go over the basic functions of your digital camera and we’ll discuss digital file formats (RAW vs JPEG), and we’ll touch upon aperture, ISO, shutter speed (aka the exposure triangle).​​

All About Aperture​

We will discuss the historical origins of the camera obscura and take a deep dive to look at why understanding aperture on your camera is so crucial. Hands-on demonstration of depth of field.​​

Filling the Frame​

In this class we’ll dissect the various aspects of photographic composition, from Fibonacci to the rule of thirds, and layering to leading lines. ​

Landscape Photography

This is a session that is dedicated to those who enjoy landscape photography. Two main topics will be discussed: high dynamic range photography as well as panoramic photography.​

Portraits

There are many approaches to the genre of portraiture, and many technical aspects to consider such shooting with flash vs available light. But the interpersonal dimension between the subject and the photographer (and by extension, the audience) is equally relevant. We’ll discuss all these ideas and do an in-class demonstration.

Adobe Photoshop Basics​

This is a demonstration class that will go over the basics of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Bridge. The emphasis will be about setting good workflow habits, and creating a reliable file management system. We will also cover the basics of picture editing and sequencing, image delivery, etc.
