Are you passionate about expressing what you witness in the world through photography? Do you feel intimidated by your camera or stepping outside of AUTO mode? Would you like to unlock your creative potential by becoming more fluent with this medium? This course is for beginner to intermediate photographers who want to expand their skills and deepen their understanding of the many factors that influence image creation. All aspects of the course are working towards printed work as the final output at the highest level of imaging quality. This will be an experiential course and will be in part guided by the intentions and experience of the group. This Part 1 course is focused mostly on camera work.
