Your Camera + New Friends + YOUR INNER ARTIST
Join us for a 5 WEEK OUTDOOR photography CLASS this fall!
1st class on Thursday, October 1, from 4 - 6pm and the following 4 classes on Wednesdays from 4 - 6pm
In this 5 week course, we will take a simple approach towards learning the basic camera settings that will allow you to have complete creative control over your photography.
This is not just a “how to use your camera” class.
Each week we will expand our understanding of the technical while also leaving plenty of time to explore who we are as artists, even if you wouldn’t use the word “artist” to describe yourself! We’ll be taking an inner look at what inspires each one of us creatively, and discussing how to use our new photography skills as a tool for self-expression and growth.
EACH CLASS WILL BE A COMBINATION OF
Building a technical knowledge of how to take photos using your camera’s manual settings (ex. exposure, shutter speed, aperture, focus, etc.)
Lesson on a specific visual aspect of photography (ex. light, composition, etc.)
Practicing the skills you are learning (shooting practice!)
Exploring and identifying aspects of your personal artistic vision
In addition
Each week there will be a shooting assignment and opportunity for photo review and q&a in a private facebook group.
After this course, you will have a working knowledge of
details
Four weeks of in-person class at an outdoor location (weather permitting) in Boulder, CO
Fifth week of class will be a 2 hour critique and discussion of your photographs taken throughout the course. Week 5 will take place either in-person or online, TBD
Class is limited to 7 people
This course requires you to have use of a DSLR camera with manual settings
Course fee is $250
* Due to COVID-19, masks are required and we will socially distance when possible. Minimum of 4 signups in order for the class to run.

This is a picture I took with a point and shoot camera when my family lived in Hawaii for a year. I was obsessed with taking pictures, but never thought I could be a “real” photographer.
I waited two years before I took myself seriously enough to get my first DSLR and learn how to use it.
There are so many times I wish I had taken that first step back in Hawaii while I was watching my children interact with the beauty of that island.
Don’t wait any longer to begin your photography journey!
