Half-day photography workshop
Private photography instruction for enthusiasts who want to grow their work. We'll spend 3 hours at a Seattle location of your choice, working through composition, light, posing direction, and the small decisions that separate a snapshot from a real photograph. You shoot, I'll teach, and I'll make a few portraits for you to take home. This package includes hands-on instruction tailored to your level. Bring your camera (any system). Group workshops for more than 4 available by request.
