SEEING THE LIGHT photography 101

Want to learn how to use that beautiful digital SLR camera that you got last Christmas?  Are you frustrated that the photos you're taking are not of the quality that you expected? Have you read the manual 3 times and still can't achieve the results you want? Get your camera out of the bag and into this class! I am going to show you how to transform your  ordinary snapshots into extraodinary images that will earn you the admiration and envy of your friends and family and satisfy your artistic expectations! This is a HANDS ON photography course that I teach at my home/studio in Clermont, Florida.  I will share what I've gleaned from years of experience as a professional illustrator and photographer.  You will learn:

  • The secrets and techniques that professional photographers use to achieve stunning and striking images, not found in any manual!

  • how to use simple and basic Photoshop and Lightroom techniques that will dramatically enhance your images
