of amateur and semi-pro photography enthusiasts.

What are the Instructional Goals?
Classes have been designed to provide a common technical base on which to build creative confidence,
teach techniques and practices for working safer in a dangerous environment, as well as
increase the understanding of copyright, licensing and marketing related to photo sales.
Emphasis is on correct camera and equipment techniques at the moment of exposure rather than
time-consuming post-processing.
Film or Digital Imaging?
Although these classes concentrate on digital photography instruction, traditional film
information is also available.
What should I Bring?
Participants in all programs are expected to bring their camera, accessories, extra batteries, extra film,
and instruction book.
How much Workflow and Software Instruction is included?
The priority and majority of instruction concentrates on the accurate and correct creation of the photograph in
the camera rather than through the wasteful, time-consuming process of software image correction. Digital workflow
and software options may be discussed during the photography instructional programs. But, those discussions tend
to follow the strict software manipulation guidelines established by international wire services.

Group sizes are restricted to allow for maximum interaction between participants and the instructor. The
specific maximum class sizes are shown on the Workshop Schedule/Reservations web page.
