If you prefer to learn in a fun, clean, and family friendly environment, this course is for you.

In this hands-on course, we will demystify each of the systems that make up your camera, e.g: shutter, aperture, ISO, metering and whitebalance. We will explore how each of those work, why they are needed, how they do what they do and why you should care. Then we discover how to use each of them artistically to improve your photography. Classes are very laid back, fun and hands-on. It will help greatly if you have a sense of humor.

Get your certificate in Basic Photography:

Photography 1 consists of 6 photography classes. If you attend at least 3 of the 6 classes you will receive a certificate in Basic Photography at the end of the course.

This course is for you if:

• You'd prefer to not trip over your camera anymore and want to start enjoying photography to its fullest.

• You have been photographing for a while and you know your camera can do more than automatic mode.

• You feel overwhelmed by your camera system and don't know what all the things on it are for.

• You just got a new DSLR and you would like to learn how to best use it.

• You know about shutter, aperture, ISO and could use a refresher with a little leg-up on connecting the dots.

• You prefer to study in a fun, friendly, safe, and non-judgmental environment.

What you will learn:

The 6 classes in  Our Photography 1 course build on each other to help you learn all you need to know about camera systems. Each class consists of classroom time bundled with live, hands-on demonstrations. Because we believe in hands-on learning, you get to shoot in the class. Usually the assignment for each class is very similar to what you just did in class. Throughout the course, we'll spend some time learning class room material and some time during hands-on demonstrations.

Included with the course is your personal Study Kit, which contains everything you'll need for the course, and then some!
