Intermediate Photography Courses

 

Once you go Manual, you never go back.

I love taking Michelle’s classes. Her teaching style is very relatable. She’s great at taking technical information and delivering it in a way that makes it easy to understand and put into practice. Before I knew it I was creating images that were better than I ever imagined.

After completing The Beginner Course students are ready for Manual Photography.  The first project is to recreate a fashion ad, considering composition, settings, and light.

We also cover shooting in monochrome & posing people.  

I love the sense of joy and amusement Michelle brings to her class and her shoots. Her delight as she processes her visual world is infectious.

Our final class consists of photographing a group, or family.  Each student works with a group they have never met before.  They direct and photograph their group for one hour.  Students are always on such a high after this assignment and we often wrap the class on the patio at The Balmy Beach Club!
