Spring is a fantastic time to focus on creativity in your photography. It's a time to explore your photographic vision and hone technical skills. This class focuses on learning to "see,” how to use lighting, and creative use of exposure to create your photographic images. Skills are taught through lectures, examples, class discussions, and weekly assignments. The instructor critiques assignments and helps students grow their photography skills. Some topics covered are Spring color, motion, people, and digital dark room.

Woodwinds, brass, and percussion musicians of all levels welcome!
