Introducing Our DSLR Camera Basics Photography Class | Clarksville, TN Photographer




I am so excited to announce that we are now offering photography classes for those that would like to learn how to take better pictures and how to use all those settings on your fancy SLR camera. Ever wondered what all those buttons were for? Want to improve your picture taking skills when photographing your kids in their everyday life? Well I am here to help. When I started out in photography it was when I first started having kids. My son had so much energy and he was either running or sleeping. There was no in between with him! Well I loved the challenge of getting a great picture despite his non cooperation. I loved experimenting with different angles and ways to shoot ...and that was the beginning of my photographic journey.

Camera Basics






SLR basics is a beginners class where you will learn how to use your camera as well as learn some tips and principles to better picture taking. The class is designed to help you in your everyday picture taking, give you a better understanding of your camera and of what makes a good picture.


*This class is not designed to make you a professional photographer.*










What is included

*Approximately 2-3 hours of instruction  including
hands on learning time
*a manual of the course for later reference
*Q&A time
*lots of fun!
Things we will learn:
How to use the camera settings as well as which settings are ideal in various situations
Principles of photography such as perspective, composition, the "rule of thirds" & more.
A general understanding of what aperture, shutter and ISO is.
How to capture great moments of our kids being kids and pictures that are meaningful, not just telling them to stop, sit down and smile.

...and finally
Classes will be limited to 4-5 people so I can give everyone more direct one on one attention. Classes are first come first serve. You may take more than one class if you like. classes are $80 each


It is recommended to have a DSLR camera since we will be covering settings for DSLR's but most point and shoots now have similar features and should be fine.
