Course Outline

The Beginners Photography Classes are lessons which enable a tailored approach to your current skill level. The classes provide individual attention that helps to train you on your camera and equipment. So whether you have a Point and Shoot or a top end SLR camera, I can teach you to use it to its maximum potential. Not only do I teach you how to use your camera, but also how to edit the pictures to give them even more of an edge.  As such, it is a necessity to have photo editing software, preferably

Photoshop (Elements, CS2, CS3, CS4 or CS5).
