Going Places? Try a Travel Photography class!




Over the last few years I've had clients and people I've met through traveling, ask me questions about their cameras.  "How do you get those great travel images that you make?"  "What can I do with my camera to make images like that?"  I'd explain a few tips and tricks of the trade, but I quickly realized that most people that are buying Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras and lenses don't understand what a powerful tool they hold in their hands and they were simply using it on "Auto Everything!"  I can help you make fantastic travel images!

Jessica Kaminski, a fashion photographer, and I have teamed up to teach new DSLR camera owners how to use their cameras/lenses just like the pros!  So if you like to travel and photograph, or you want to photograph people, we've got a class for you!  Class is limited so register today!  Don't be the one to say, "I missed the shot because . . ."







On The Road:
A Photography Course for the Traveler


"The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see. ~G.K. Chesterton"


Digital photography and cameras have allowed amateur users many more options for creating creative travel images. However, very few users know how to get the most out of their cameras. When you're traveling to places where you may never return, that just won't do!. This class will allow you to feel more confident about using your camera to take home all the images of the memories you experienced, and more! In this class, "P" is for Peggy, not 'Program.'

We'll start with the camera settings that you MUST know and give you practice opportunities to use them, so that you won't need to fumble with the manual on the road. Next we'll move onto the rules of composition, including people in your images, and the best things to photograph during different parts of the day. Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, you'll learn how to store, back-up and then produce lasting products, like personalized books, that will allow you to relive your travel experiences for years to come!

The bulk of this class will be taught from actual travel images that Peggy's made over the years so expect your vision to be expanded. Sign up for the class and start planning that 'once in a lifetime' trip today!

Photograph and Retouch People Like a Pro!

Both Jessica and Peggy will be instructing this class. Students will watch as studio lighting setups are built from scratch using a live model. Compare and contrast how differently Peggy and Jessica will work with photographing the model. After the shoot, we will demonstrate how images are selected and edited in Adobe Lightroom and finally retouched in Photoshop.
