Introduction to Digital Camera and Smart Phone Photography

In person

Denton Hoyer

Photography Class: Beginner

Interested in capturing great images but not sure how to get started? By covering a few basic concepts, you will see your images improve and your confidence grow.

Explore camera exposure settings, smart-phone shooting strategies, and the art of strong composition. Experiment with our Canon Pro 1100 printer and create professional-quality prints that bring your work to life. This offering supports both new and developing photographers.  Bring a digital camera to class with your lenses. Be sure to bring a charged battery and memory card installed.

Although the emphasis is on digital photography, the concepts covered here build a solid foundation for anyone curious about moving into film in the future.

Students also enjoy special Saturday photo shoots, personalized guidance, and hands-on printing support. Saturday sessions run 10am–1pm on Jan 10, 17, 31 and Feb 7.

Tuition for this class includes a fee of $20 for basic materials provided by CAW and includes four 8×10 prints from the Canon printer. Each additional print is $5 for a 4×6 or 5×7 proof plus a final 8×10 payable by cash or check at the time of printing. 

School Policies

Students who withdraw 48 hours prior to the first class are eligible for a refund or credit toward another class, less a $25 registration fee.
