Do you want to learn more about digital photography using either a DSLR or Mirrorless camera? Let me help! This class will work best for pre-teens and teens. In these 1-on-1 courses, I will get to know you to meet your individual needs and goals, and am happy to meet you at any level. Possible topics of study include: -Basics of Manual Exposure (Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO) -Lens Types and Choices -White Balance and Color Management -Composition and Framing -Lighting Basics -Developing your “eye” -Digital Processing and Editing +More! We will use a mix of examples, explanations, hands-on activities, demos, and a variety of other techniques based on student needs. Students must have their own camera and lens(es) for this course. Access to Adobe products (Lightroom, Bridge, Photoshop) is a plus, but not required.
