March will be a Busy Month for Photography Classes

It seems like I only get around to updating my blog when I'm promoting our classes. But here we are, just over a week away from the start of inter Session 2 at The Armory Art Center. This session we have several photography classes offered and I'm looking forward to all of them.

The first one will be a two day basic photography class. Introduction to Digital Photography wil be on Friday Feb 27th and Saturday, Feb, 28th from 9:30 to 12:30 each day. This class is especially for those of you that want to understand a little more about your digital camera, how to get a little more control over it and take some nivce pictures. We'll touch on how to get them out of the camera, onto your computer and printed!

Starting the following Friday, March 6 at 9:30 through 12:30 we'll begin a four week Intermediate Photography course. Focusing more on advanced point & shoots, super zooms and SLR digital cameras, we will cover more of the creative controls of your cameras. When you've completed this course you'll understand what each program mode does, when and why to choose the special programs, how to shoot in manual mode and why not to.

Tuesday, March 3 at 6PM we'll begin four weeks of Figure Photography 1. Here's where you'll learn about working with models to interpret the human figure in classic and abstract images. We'll go over lighting and posing techniques involved in working with our model in the studio setting.

On March 31 Figure Photography 2 will continue for four weeks where we leave off in the previous class. We'll get more creative in the lighting and poses while we work towards producing some super images. This class is not just for students from Figure 1. We'll welcome new students with a basic knowledge of photography to our group.

For those that want a taste of figure photography as wellas students of the classes, we're having a two day Figure Photography Workshop. The first day will be in the studio for some basic lighting and posing. Day two we'll go out on location to work with the figure in nature. his should be a really great adventure. I'm certainly looking forward to it.

How will you organize and process all of the images you create in the Figure Photography classes?
Beginning March 4, Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9, Jackee will be teaching Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Lightroom handles your images from importing to printing and web galleries. . You'll learn to process for accurate color and creative effects. Non-destructive editing is the key to Lightroom. No matter how wild you get, the original image is there for you to start all over again.

We're looking forward to seeing you there!
