Adult Classes
These adult classes are designed to address the specific need or desire of each student(s). They also may be private or semi-private depending on the desires of the student(s) involved. In these classes issued that could be addressed are, "how does this stupid camera work" to "I want to know how to use my camera better and make better photos" plus many, many more. What you need is what you learn. You can keep at it as long as you would like.
We accept all students of any age from 3rd grade to adult for nine week sessions for our classes. A semester is two nine week sessions. Students are constantly challenged in all aspects of digital photography (studio lighting, portraiture, double exposures, blending modes, and layer and imagery manipulation to name a few). Students are not obligated to sign up for another session after completion of any session. We issue grades and print transcripts at the end of each semester. A certificate will be given to those students only completing a 9 week session.What are your rates?
We have a couple of different programs. The best thing to do is to contact us and to see what we are all about. If you would like to join our school, then we want to get to know you a little better. We like to take the time to speak with you about your goals, concerns and aspirations. We make it a point to be sure you are comfortable with our staff and studio. After that, we can iron out all the details of enrollment.
