**Beginner Class:** This comprehensive 8-week course takes place on weekday evenings in the classroom next to my studio in Collinsville, Illinois. You will need a DSLR or mirrorless camera for optimal results. Camera kit rentals are available if needed. Each lesson is recorded, so you can watch online if you miss a class. I’m here to help simplify the camera’s menus, buttons, and knobs for you. Class size is limited.
**Advanced Composition Photography Class:** Also held on weekdays, this class covers a wide range of topics, including Leading Lines, Forced Perspective, Strong Diagonals, Symmetry, Asymmetry, Pareidolia, Balance, and more. Classroom sessions will run from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, with outdoor shooting sessions starting at 5:00 or 5:30 PM until dark. The course will be divided equally between classroom instruction and field shooting. Attendance at both time slots is required. The first lesson will focus on theory, the second on practical application, the third on discussion, and the fourth on utilizing everything learned in the field. This class is ideal for anyone who attended my Beginner Photography Class within the past five years, as well as anyone with a DSLR or mirrorless camera who knows how to use it. Class size is limited.
