Upcoming Introduction to Digital Photography Class 8/22

Click to see all previous classes posts: <<<<<<

My upcoming workshop date has been confirmed , 8/22 Sunday . The class format and content will be same as the one I have before, 7 hours from 9:30 to 5:30pm with a lunch break. In the morning, we will go through theories and get familiar with your camera, after lunch, we will go outside to practice. I have a lot of tips to share with you, since it is an intimate workshop, you can ask whatever you want , about wedding shoot, about business, about how to get in to the industry :) Willing to share everything with you.

Photography needs a lot of practice and a lot of thinking behind, what I'm teaching you , is the fundamental things you MUST know to get it started, and most importantly is I'm going to show you a systematic way to practice, not just shoot a lot without purpose. When you get out of my workshop, you know what exactly you need to do with you camera and know what to practice to get better !

Do you prefer to spend months or years to try to figure out the features of the camera/lens by yourself or spend 7 hrs straight to get your hands dirty and ready to shoot some awesome images for your friends and family ??

2010-07-21 Introduction to digital photography class last Saturday

Last Saturday had a lot of fun teaching this 7 hours introduction to digital photography class at my gallery in Belmont. 8 students were all excited to get to know their camera better and get some hands on practice .

Like the previous classes, was held at my gallery . In the morning, after we had breakfast, we spent the whole morning from 9:30am - 1:00pm learning about theory and get familiar with their own equipment . The theory part include all the basic of photography... like aperture , shutter speed, iso, lens characterists/usage, composition, depth of field, flash .... . Then we all have lunch together.

Theory means nothing without practice, so after lunch , we went out for some hands on practice from 1:00pm - 4:00pm . We all practiced and applied what we learned in the morning using our gear. We practiced the combination of shutter speed/aperture to archive different result that we want. Everyone was required to use M (manual) mode to practice.

I designed this class to only accept 8 students because I have to make sure every student got enough attentions from me and ask questions and guidance when they need.














See what one of my student Stacie said and blog about this class. <<<<<<

I'm now scheduling the next class to be on 8/22 , if you are interested , please email me to sign up, class fee is $180 per person for this 7 hrs intensive class.

2010-07-02 Cole is 3.5 weeks old already !!!

This is definitely a photoshoot session I was looking forward to for a long time. If you have been following my blog, you will know Carla, a beautiful bride I shot 2 years ago. We originally planned to photograph her pregnancy pictures in the beginner of June. However, we couldn't do it , why ?? because this little kid came out 2 and a half week earlier than the doctor expected :) Instead of a pregnancy shoot, now we are doing a baby shoot for the 3.5 weeks Cole, absolutely adorable. Because Carla's family flew from Florida to visit Carla and Jamie, so we also did a family shoot after the baby shoot . What a beautiful family.
