Course Schedule

Week 1: What is Personal Style? Finding a Mentor/Inspiration

Week 2: Composition and Light

Week 3: Finding the Personality in your style

Week 4: Calling Yourself an Artist/ The Emotional Side of Being an Artist

Week 5: Telling Your Story/ Portraits- working with people

Week 6: Getting Caught Up in The Static/Marketing Yourself

Technical: Each week I will share one lesson with tips and tricks on the technical side with topics such as Getting To Know Your Camera, ISO and White Balance, Aperture and Depth of Field, Shutter Speed, Exposure and Lighting and Composition. There is one lesson on each where I explain what they are and share a few tips and exercises. If you are looking for an in depth technical course, this probably isn’t the one for you.

Lesson Structure

There will be lessons/posts on the blog on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Photography and Discussion Expectation

As part of the course, you are encouraged to take photographs and share them with the group via flickr. You will have the week (including the weekend) to complete an assignment. New weekly assignments will be posted on Mondays.

I really encourage discussion and participation in my courses. You will gain far more out of the experience (and it is an experience, not just a class) if you participate by discussing and sharing your thoughts throughout the week.

For the duration of the course, I will be available to you from Monday through to Friday via email.
