INTRODUCTION
Learn to make story-telling photos; get a better success rate with your photos; improve composition; recognize great light; experiment with fill-flash and dusk photography, use a fun iPhone App; understand people photography, and more.
My workshops are about real learning, both on location and in-class group projections.
Classes are at my home in Mill Valley, and our locations are in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We always enjoy an enthusiastic spirit of camaraderie and support.
Photographers of all levels are welcome, including those who use Smartphones.
Max # of guests is 8.
