Drop in Photography | March Classes & Workshops
What is “Drop in Photography”?
You don’t have to study every recipe in existence before you start cooking right? Well, you don’t need understand EVERYTHING about your camera before you take a picture either. This is the mistake so many students AND instructors make which leads to boring, unfulfilling classes. Thus think of Drop In Photography like you would cook book. You choose the technique you are hungry to learn RIGHT NOW, and I layout the recipe and guide you through it!
Amateur, Intermediate or Advanced, Everyone is Welcome!
If you’ve never baked a cake in your life, you’re probably going to follow the recipe exactly and cross your fingers that it comes out just as tasty and fluffy as it is in the picture. If you bake cakes regularly, you might follow the recipe but improvise a little switching chocolate for vanilla or make it two layers instead of one. If you’re a pâtissier, you don’t even need a recipe, you understand the theory of cake baking and can dream up your own tastes and designs. But even the seasoned pâtissier may have questions, like how to create a mirror glaze or fondant.
Sorry if I’m making you hungry, but it was the best analogy I cold think up at 2am of for how Drop in Photography classes are structured.
- Beginners will follow the instructor step by step and learn where the required settings are on their camera, what they do, and why we have chosen them.
- Intermediate students can try to anticipate the settings and then improvise/experiment when comfortable perhaps choosing a slightly different angle, focal length or camera setting.
- Advanced photographers can pursue their own vision and seek out the instructor for questions, suggestions and new techniques . They may also team up with beginner students and share their knowledge because after all, the best way to learn is to teach!
From Start to Finish
Experience a great sense of satisfaction when you conceptualize, capture, edit and share your image all in the same class. My goal is that EVERY STUDENT goes home with at least one picture they are proud of. Editing is every bit as important as taking the photo so I encourage you to take the full class but you may also do half the class if you prefer.
