OK, so I’ve been hinting at something I’ve been working on for the last little while and after a lot of planning, I have decided to offer photography courses online for beginning photographers!
I am still in the fun planning stages that includes writing the curriculum and setting up the website. It won’t be a straight up technical class or a straight creativity course. It will combine a bit of both and is aimed at photographers who are just starting out and have come to a point where they want to turn their snaps into art. I will be sharing what I know about photography, how I plan and execute my work and how I have honed my photography style.
It’s called Shoot By Design: Refining Your Photography Style.
I miss teaching so much and this will be the perfect way for me to combine my experience as a teacher with my passion for photography and hopefully help some beginning photographers along the way!
Sharing photography tips, talking about photography and finding your own voice, is what Mocking Bird is all about, so it’s a natural progression for me to take this next step – I’m going to really get into the nitty gritty! Would you like to join me?
I will put more detailed information out in the coming weeks, but I just wanted to get a feel for how many people would be interested in this kind of photography course. If you are interested, please sign up to the brand spanking new email subscription list. I have added a subscribe by email list over on the sidebar (RSS readers, you will need to click over to the blog) – please sign up so you will be updated with all the info and registration dates via email. And if you know any budding photographers who you think may be interested, please let them know.
Year of ‘focus‘, baby!

It won’t be strictly about film photography but I address both mediums. If this goes well, then there is a film course in the works down the line. Thanks for the lovely comment.
i’ll do a shout out in my FB page when it’s all ready for launch.
Oh, thanks!
Yay! I am so excited for you and this marvelous new project of yours. Really does seem like the perfect thing for you to do.
I guess I’m not really a beginning photographer anymore, but I don’t think I could resist signing up for a photography class taught by you! Can’t wait to hear more about it!
LOL Anna, well I do think there will be things for the non beginner but there will definitely be elements that are strictly beginner (e.g. the technical stuff).
The focus for each week is more on the creative side though.
OMG so excited. By the way I’m in Vancouver!
Wow Amanda, this is so exciting! Congratulations on taking this step! I can’t wait to hear more about what the course will entail. :D
Ooooh yay! I can imagine it would be a lovely course! I’d love to sign up :)
Congratulations, Amanda! You were so helpful to me when I launched my film photography workshops……if there is anything I can do in return please let me know, of course I will pass it on in any case!
I got an DSLR camera last year but there is so much I need to learn and I don’t have the time to take a class. This is perfect! Very excited to learn more from someone I admire! Your photographs are gorgeous!
Cool! great Idea!
I’ve been wanting to take a photography class since I graduated from college because I loved those classes so much. This will be great for me! And it means we’ll get to talk more often – lol
hooray for stepping out of your comfort zone :) so inspiring and brave!
