This summer I have am hosting 5 days where I will teach you during a photo shoot! I have been wanting to do this for a few years but never made time to so I decided this is the time!
These classes are FREE!!! Yes, free. With ONE caveat. I need you to take 3 photos & 2 short videos of me taking photos or helping another student in the class so I can use it for my website, social media or marketing. You will upload these to a google drive link I will provide :-)
For this first set this summer, it is best to have a basic understanding of your camera. I need you to know HOW to turn on your camera, how to put on your Len, how to change to the MANUAL mode and HOW to change your ISO, Shutter speed & Aperture. You do not need to know when to use what settings or what those do (ISO, Shutter speed and aperture) but just HOW to change them. Everyone's camera is different and sometimes it just takes me extra time to figure out HOW to change your settings on different cameras.
Details of the sessions- These will all be in the evenings on my property in Mocksville, NC off Farmington Road. Limit of 3 students per session.
During all of these sessions I am going to teach you what settings on your camera to use, when & why. You will leave ISO, Shutter speed & Aperture. This is my basic photography 101 class I teach. You will leave the class being able to shoot in manual and know what settings to use to achieve the picture you are wanting with your equipment.
If you are a photographer or want to start a photography business these first 5 classes are not going to go into depth of the business side. However, they will be a great starting point for conversations and discussions between us. Feel free to email or message me if you are a photographer or want to start a business and already have the "technical" side of photography figured out!
These sessions are also a great way to start a photography portfolio!
July 5th - Session will be photographing kids. Simple & sweet. This is a great class to really hone in on learning your settings and why you need your settings set to what! :-)
July 19th - Backyard inflatable pool (kids!) I am still working on details but think retro swim cap, glass bottle drinks & inflatable tubes. These will be more of a creative fun shoot.
August 2nd - Engagement or maternity (possibly both) - These will be great for learning posing, lighting and other things without a lot of variables (ie kids running around trying to get your settings right and then the kiddo moves haha)
August 14th - So excited about this!! We are going to have a chicken egg stand -- with real chickens. So if you have a FEAR or birds, this one may not be for you! I have 2 girls attending that each have chickens & eggs. I am so excited to put this together.
August 23rd - We will be photographing a family or two during this class. This will be great for learning poses and how to get interaction between families to capture real genuine smiles and moments.
A few last things:
1.) I do ask that you do NOT friend any clients we photograph on social media and tag them.
2.) If you do post these on social media you tag me stating you took these during your photography class. (You can tag me personally or my business page)
3.) You CAN use these to help start building your photography portfolio if you are taking this class to start your own business.
