Which class should I take?

If you are brand new to photography or have been stuck in Auto this whole time, then Beginner Photography ONE is the way to go. This class addresses the technical side of your camera and sets a solid foundation for Beginner Photography TWO, which explores the more artful side of photography. Collectively, they provide a complete course for taking beautiful photos!

An understanding of the material covered in Beginner Photography ONE, such as being able to shoot in manual, is highly recommended prior to taking Beginner TWO. Connect with us at (614) 427-1671 if you are unsure of which class to select.

Who should take these classes?

The Beginner Photography and Beginner Lightroom classes are designed for the beginner, amateur, or hobbyist photographer wanting to take advantage of everything their digital camera has to offer. We dump all the intimidating jargon and give you the core concepts you need to capture and edit your digital life like a pro.

Is there an age limit?

All ages are welcome to attend, however, the majority of our students are adults. While we have had students as young as 11 years old attend without issue, it really all comes down to your child. As long as they understand that learning photography and software has a technical component to it, they should be fine.

Do you offer gift certificates?

Yes, of course! Gift certificates are available for our in-person classes, online classes, or personal photography instruction. To provide the most flexibility, you are able to specify the exact amount you would like to gift.

Head over to our Gift Certificate page to learn more… and as always, please contact us at (614) 427-1671 should you have any questions.

What if I can’t commit to the weekly classes?

We understand that not everyone will have all consecutive class days or evenings available, and that’s why we allow you to jump in on another class to ensure you are covered. Simply let us know of your scheduling conflict and we’ll make sure you have a seat.

What if I have difficulty with the material?

We’re big believers in getting what you pay for and stand firmly behind our classes – that’s why we have a “100% ‘UNTIL IT CLICKS’ GUARANTEE.” Learning digital photography and complicated cameras can be challenging, so anytime you feel the need for a refresher class, whether in part or in whole, you are welcome to sit in on the same class at NO EXTRA CHARGE!

What qualifications do I need?

Zip… nada… zilch! Our classes are designed for the beginner, so the only qualification required is a desire to learn and have fun!

What camera and/or equipment do I need?

We recommend a Digital SLR or Mirrorless camera along with a fully charged battery and memory card. Your camera should have the ability to manually adjust exposure settings such as ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. If you are unsure if your camera is suitable for the class, simply give us a call at (614) 427-1671 and we’ll let you know.
