Photography Training Course 201 focuses on advanced techniques, including shooting in manual mode, understanding color theory, and exploring different genres such as portrait and landscape photography.
Take your digital photography skills to the next level with personal guidance and engaging photography assignments. This intermediate photography class is designed to help you master your camera’s manual settings while exploring the new subjects that move you beyond the basics of digital photography.
Over the course of this six-session photography class, you’ll work on weekly shooting assignments. With the direction of the instructor Bruce Johnson, you’ll explore examples from skilled photographers and discuss approaches to these different topics. Additionally, you’ll get to present your photography for regular supportive group critiques.
