Course outline
This is a hands-on, practical course for beginners of all ages. It's straight forward in simple language without the photography jargon. We will cover focus, framing, ISO, lighting and editing.
I've taught this course for years to teenagers in the deaf and hard of hearing community. I will guide you through the basics of photography through the lens of story. When your image is anchored in story it will have more power.
