This four-session class is for those who want to take better pictures, particularly of family and friends. Session 1 will focus on common photographic issues, including what to include and leave out of photos, simple design techniques, light and other common concerns. Session 2 will be an outdoor photo session using natural light. Session 3 will take place in an Old Sacramento studio, offering a chance to use professional lighting equipment both indoors and outdoors. Attendees may bring along their own “model” or pose for one another. In Session 4 we will be back in the classroom to review and critique photos taken by attendees during previous sessions.
