Instructor: Thom Williams

Fee: $85 for entire 4wk session

Workshop Description:

This series is for students that have a clear understanding of the exposure triangle and beginner concepts of composition. We will be covering more advanced techniques and compositional elements in an effort to help guide students toward developing their own unique style. Students will have assignments throughout that will be discussed in class along with a final project at the conclusion of the course. Open to all types of cameras.a

Equipment required:

Students should have a device that allows them to connect to Zoom, in order to participate in the group lessons and discussions. In addition, DSLR or mirrorless cameras (or any point and shoot camera that can adjust shutter speed, aperture & ISO) are recommended for this course. However, since this program has a focus on composition more than the functionality of DSLR or mirrorless cameras, phone camera users could still benefit from this course.
