"focus on photography" - the basics
have fun, take beautiful pictures and share them with family and friends. create beautiful images using good photographic composition guidelines. capture the light in different lighting situations and use creative exposure options to take close-ups, people and scenic images. learn about digital camera operation and creative, yet simple photo enhancement and organization using free, easy to use software.
 
note: all classes are 8 weeks long

"think outside the box" - beyond the familiar - intermediate  
for students comfortable with photographic fundamentals, this class offers a chance to explore more advanced applications of those skills.  this class will encourage students to reach beyond the familiar. new ways of seeing - through critique, discussion and hands on photography shoots you will pursue the emotional side of creating distinctive images. new technical skills - using models, hands on education, ambient light, off-camera strobe, video lights,  night photography (long exposures), exposure blending (hdr), diptychs and triptychs, lightroom, photoshop and most of all.....thinking outside the box.course focus and objectives will be determined on the first night of class in consultation with the students.course expectations - students will photograph and produce prints for each class.  bring 2 images to class for group review and discussion.

 note: students must have previous photo experience and be familiar with manual camera controls.  students that have not completed "the basics" should contact shannon brunner prior to registration to ensure their skill level is sufficient to fulfill the course expectations.


NEW intermediate continued
due to popular demand.... the students of my intermediate classes, sad that their classes were ending, suggested that i organize an intermediate part 2 class.  i was flattered and impressed with their enthusiasm and eagerness.  i am following their lead and offering a continuation of all things creative that we experience as a collaborative collective of photography enthusiasts.  again we will use models and learn new techniques to challenge ourselves and "think outside the box" - beyond the familiar.

EVEN NEWER intermediate continued continued
you guessed it......they just want to keep coming to class ....so we're on for more adventure.  we've already had a 12 day old model to class.....we're bringing in a teenage boy, we're doing boudoir......we shooting on-demand locations of their choosing.....whatever they want.....i mold the class to their liking.  i'm challenging them all to produce above average work because most of them have been in 4 or 5 of my classes now and they are all producing fabulous images.  it's so exciting.
