Fundamentals 2: Beyond the Basics
Level 2
Now that you’ve got the basics down, it’s a great time to fine-tune your skills and gain more confidence with your camera. This follow-up class is designed to give you more hands-on practice as you further expand your understanding of photography. You’ll learn more advanced techniques for making your pictures shine, and you’ll have a chance to work with lighting and experiment with portraiture, macro imaging, and more.
Class will also include a look at different digital imaging programs, so you can be more informed about which software is the right choice for you. Throughout class, you’ll receive the technical and conceptual guidance you need to take that next step with your photography. Creative assignments, instructional demos, a photo field trip, and plenty of hands-on practice will get you off and running.
Students must be able to use cameras in manual mode to take this class.
Instructors:
Jason Kaplan has been working as a professional photographer for over 14 years. His work has been featured in many publications including The Oregonian, The Willamette Week, The Mercury News, Oregon Business, The Portland Monthly, Forbes Magazine and The Sentinel.
Zeb Andrews has been seriously dedicated to photography since 2002 when a Pentax K1000 made its way into his hands and almost did not escape again. Not long after that he bought his first “real” camera, a Nikon FM2. His family of cameras has grown much since that first Nikon over the years, but that FM2 is still going strong.
Zeb loves to teach and share. He believes you make yourself better by making those around you better. When he am not working full time at Blue Moon Camera and Machine, he is generally spending his days off photographing and teaching photography classes and workshops.
