Join Angie & a group of other beginner photography students such as yourself in Naples, Florida for a hands on, instructor led, learning workshop for those looking to hone in on the skills needed to pursue their photography passion. This workshop is for beginners & is structured around the basics of photography and the features on your cameras. Spend the weekend with Angie as she shows you how she shoots, why she shoots the way she does, how best to tackle tricky lighting situations, composition advice, camera education, as well as some post processing techniques to give your images an extra umph! We'll spend Friday night over a meet & greet dinner together by the sea, getting to know the other participants in attendance. Saturday begins bright & early with a light breakfast together & then a full day of following Angie around the downtown streets of Naples, Florida as we discover how to pick the best shooting locations, find great lighting, ornate textures, etc. Watch Angie photograph a live model & observe how she interacts with clients, her no pose techniques, & how she picks location choices, etc. You'll also be working in groups together so you can practice the new techniques we are learning as you go along. Shooting will break for a quick lunch but continue on into the evening with a beach session at sunset in the white sand overlooking the warm gulf of Mexico waters. Dinner will follow along with a recap of the days lessons. On Sunday, we'll learn a few hours of hands on post processing/editing tips together as well as oversee how Angie tackles her workflow before dismissing the workshop between 11am-noon. The price of the workshop includes shared/roommate accommodations for your two night stay in Naples, Florida. (Meals not included) If you have a roommate you prefer to share a room with, please note her name when reserving your seat in the class. Please note: If you are outside the workshop area, airfare & transfers to & from Naples, Florida are not included in the workshop price. Attendees are responsible for booking & scheduling their own flights & transfers. If you are local, you are responsible for your own transportation to & from the hotel in downtown Naples.

Do you have a new camera that has tons of bells and whistles that you don't know how to use but would love to learn? Are you interested in photography but never know where to begin or how to get started? Do you have a desire to possibly start a photography business someday and just need help learning the basics in the meantime? Are you a Mom just looking to take better photographs of your children? Are you stuck on the auto mode feature but would love how to shoot in manual? If you answered yes to any of the above, then this is the course for you. The class is offered as a 4 week-instructor led-informative journey - conducted online - at your leisure. Once you've paid for and reserved your seat in the class, you are granted access to a private forum where everyone in the class learns together. You check in as you wish throughout the 4 weeks - reviewing and learning the lessons posted by the instructor. You have an open forum where you are able to ask any amount of questions you'd like and in turn receive a prompt response from your instructor. This open but yet private student forum also allows you to chat and connect with other students who are participating as well. Each student will have one assignment to complete and turn in each week for a critique via your instructor. There is also an area where you can upload and share your photos with others in the class while seeking praise & feedback from them and critiques from the instructor. Angie will teach you the power locked inside your DSLR and steer you toward how to get off the "green auto mode" button and how to begin unlocking your cameras potential and your creativity by learning to shoot in manual mode as well as the other modes offered on your camera. She will discuss those features and when best to apply them in varied shooting environments. Here are just a few of the many things you will learn while enrolled in the class...
1) Getting tight and close with your images
2) Uncluttering a photograph
3) Framing your images in camera
4) Composition (rule of thirds) when shooting
5) ISO
6) The importance of white balance
7) Changing up your angles
8) Aperture Priority Mode, Shutter Priority mode
9) Avoiding and forcing the flash
10) Your cameras highlight warning & what it means
11) Learning your histogram
12) Exposure compensation
13) What is burst/continuous mode?
14) Graduating to "manual mode."
This class is packed full of priceless information that comes via the ease of a personal instructor at your finger tips. In 30 days, you will have a much better understanding as to the features of your camera, when to apply them, as well as a better knowledge of basic beginner photography.
