Hello and Welcome to
BeginningPhotoClinicS.com
Do you have a camera and manual you don't understand?
Finally, photography classes/workshops that will address these issues and follow-up classes that will allow you to grow in skill and ability. The photography classes will not put a hurting on your wallet or time either. My classes are for ANY ability level from raw beginner to experienced. The Photography Classes are offered in the Macon, Warner Robins and Middle Georgia area.
The courses are designed to help you understand photography language; what the dials, buttons, wheels do; along with the basic understanding of aperture, speed and ISO. We will learn this together and you will experience how they all work in unison to give you the results you expect.
As you progress in skill, the photo classes will take you closer to taking great shots. We do lots of shooting practice in class and at different locations. Critiquing your work is as important as knowing how to take the photo. Critiquing is done in the more advanced beginner classes. We take a gentle look at the basic composition and the technical aspect of your photo. It doesn't matter what your proficiency level is, you will learn at a pace that is comfortable, relaxed and you WILL laugh a lot!
This website also lists used photography equipment for sale. This service is for my students to place equipment no longer wanted on BeginningPhotoClinicS and for anyone to buy. Check out the Photo Equipment page for some great deals on great equipment from wonderful students.
"I have learned so much from your class...you're very thorough without being so technical that I got lost. I've been playing with what you taught a little this past week and I am so excited that I don't necessarily have to use a flash all the time"
