Photography Workshops for Beginners and Intermediate. John Black Photography Studio

Every one of our classes this spring have sold out! John has really enjoyed not only the one on one that he gets in these small classes – but also all the wonderful people he has met.

So many of you have fabulous cameras and keep them on auto. Your camera is sad. It wants to show you the wow! Take a walk on the Manual Side and you will be amazed
(as will your friends and family – be ready for requests!).
Bring or email 5 to 10 images that you are not happy with.
We will talk about what you can do to correctly take the image you see in your mind.

The Beginner’s Workshop is all about learning to use your SLR camera.  We will be learning how to shoot your camera in manual mode, understanding light, nailing your exposure and basic composition.  We will be doing hands on shooting in the afternoon with a model and critiquing as well.   A DSLR camera is required.

In the beginner workshop, you will learn all the basic of photography such as ….

1) What is DSLR camera
2) Be able to ask questions and get the answers you are looking for
3) Concept of depth of field
4) Aperture/ Shutter/ ISO concept and control
5) White Balance
6) Usage of different lens
7) Practice with model

The Intermediate Workshop is for people who have either completed the Beginner’s Workshop or that have a basic understanding of their camera and can shoot in manual mode with success. We will discuss in greater depth about the principals of light and composition. We will work on producing high quality images through advanced camera controls and lighting. A DSLR camera is required.

The first half of the day is going to be covering principles and showing examples. The afternoon is going to be a model shoot – focus on posing, lighting, as well as studio and location shooting.
