DIGITAL PHOTO BOOT CAMPS

Our boot camps are all about advancing your skills as a photographer.  The objective of our entire program of digital photography workshops and photographer tours is to expand the creative control our students have over their photographic results.   Building photographic skills and technical understanding helps our students create the photography they imagine.  We are all about turning picture takers into image makers.

The notion of a boot camp implies intensity and challenge and our program meets that definition.  

We spend a full day thoroughly exploring topics of digital photography.  Using a combination of lectures illustrated with example photos, hands-on exercises and in depth conversation provides a dynamic learning experience.

 Small class sizes and the ability to present complex information in readily understandable ways lend itself to our student’s success.  Over thirty years of experience as a working professional photographer is freely shared and informs the conversation. Each student is provided a study guide that follows the program and is loaded with exercises for post workshop practice and skill building.

Photography in general and digital photography in particular has a steep learning curve.  Many people invest in this exceptional technology and find it frustrating or find they are only using a fraction of its capabilities.  Our digital photography boot camps take these challenges on and rapidly expand your understanding and creative control.

BOOT CAMP BONUS VALUE

Once you attend any of the DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY BOOT CAMPS you will be welcome to attend our monthly print critique sessions for no charge.  We hold these events monthly and they are great way to gain some feedback on your results and to learn from other photographers.  Details for these sessions will be provided during your BOOT CAMP session.
