Photography Workshop for Beginners

The Photography Workshop for Beginners is for those interested in learning about photography composition and techniques to enhance everyday photos. Learn to tell a visual story, capture a moment, or create a beautiful scene. No experience necessary. The class will take place on 1/22 and 1/24 (times and details below).

This workshop consists of two parts each occurring on a different day: Part 1: an interactive presentation on photography fundamentals, theory, composition, techniques, settings, and basic editing (duration: 2 hours)

Part 2: a photowalk workshop in the outdoors where we practice what we learned, ask questions, and end with a casual sharing & feedback discussion (duration: 2 hours). 

Before the workshop I will send a short questionnaire to help me understand your experience and interests. 

After the two sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to practice on your own over the next few days before you’re invited to submit a few photos to me, to which I will provide thoughts & feedback. I’ll also answer any questions that came up and give suggestions for next steps in your photography journey. 

Where:

Located on site in Santa Cruz, California

When: 

Part 1 - Wednesday, January 22nd, from 6-8pm

Part 2 - Friday, January 24th, from 4-6pm

Supplies:

Nothing is needed but a camera (though a notebook could be handy too)! 

You can learn on a phone camera, digital camera, or film camera. The class content is relevant to all and covers a broad range of topics for different interests (travel photography, landscapes, portraits/candids, etc). 

The workshop will be small and intimate, capped at five people. Venmo me @ReneeWall by January 12th to secure your spot.
