There are two tracks for this workshop: Track One is finished and Track Two is for DSLR/Mirrorless Cameras. The first session of each track focuses on a certain type of camera, ensuring that you can get the most out of your own camera. These first two sessions are limited to 12 students each so Steve can work closely with each student and their particular camera.
Following the first session of each track, both tracks combine to focus on the most important aspects of photography, composition and lighting. Assignments will help you practice what you’ve learned about your camera and how to take better photos with it. The final session will emphasize on reviewing your work and getting refined suggestions on improving your picture taking.
