This crash course will be very hands-on and we will work with models to help you take your portrait photography skills to the next level!
Travel Photography
Are you headed out of town this summer, and you want to capture it all with your camera? Do you want to make sure that you return from your trip with photos that actually capture the experience? Have you returned from a recent trip, disappointed with the shots you did (or didn’t!) take? This course is perfect for you! Monica will use her recent trip to Israel to illustrate the important components of successful travel photography. The class will also cover the essential camera gear to pack for your trip.
