Photo 2 - April 6
As you’ll discover here, there’s lots more to learn about photography. In Photo 2 you will learn advanced camera and darkroom techniques, as well as night shooting, studio work, and how to use a large format camera. But most importantly, the focus of this class is in the training of your own eye, for what is behind the camera is more important than what is in front of it. With drive and determination, you will finish this class with an impressive body of work of your own signature style. A good 35mm SLR camera is necessary, and a tripod is highly recommended. Successful completion of Photo 1 or permission of the instructor is required.
Dates: Starting Tuesday evening, 6-9, April 6, then on April 13, 20 and 27.
Class limit: 8 students
Instructor: Standish Lawder
Tuition: $195
