PHOTOGRAPHY 101 ADULTS & TEENS

​GET OUT AND CAPTURE THE WORLD BEYOND: Photography is therapy​

*NO REGISTRATION FEE. 
*FAMILY DISCOUNT: IF 2 FAMILY MEMBERS DO THE COURSE AT THE SAME TIME THE SECOND ONE GET’S A 25% DISCOUNT!

In this day and age teens as well as adults find photography an essential language to communicate. Images are omnipresent in our society. Think social media, advertising, videogames, movies, and streaming services. The list could go on and on. Learning how to capture great images is a required skill for almost everything we do.

We’ve put together a dynamic course with content you would find in a beginner’s and an intermediate course. You’ll learn to take good photos but also interesting and creative ones, going beyond the limits of an intro course. Be ready to learn techniques, the use of the camera, composition rules, and tricks of the trade. Home assignments and two shoots on location guided by Photographer Janel Kilnisan help you cement your new set of skills. Parents must accompany minors to shoots on locations.
