Twin Cities PhotoVision Classes

“Lantern Lighting at Como Park Japanese Garden” - August 15, 2010 — ONLY 2 SPACES LEFT!

Once a year, the Como Park Japanese Garden holds its Lantern Lighting Festival, when paper lanterns float across the pond and stone lanterns glow in the dark.  Join a small group of photo students for a unique half-day class, and explore artistic and technical photo issues in and around the Japanese Garden during the afternoon, culminating in shooting the lantern lighting at dusk.

This class will offer the chance to work on compositional and emotional skills, and to experience an unusual photo environment.  We’ll also explore the sights and sounds of the Obon Festival dancers, performers, martial artists, and vendors around the Park. 

Tuition for the half-day class is $95.00. You can download a brochure here and register for the class by sending an email here.  This class sold out very quickly last year, so don’t put off registering!

“One Day Fundamentals: The Most Important Photographic Skills” — October 9, 2010

So you just got that new digital camera and you want to learn who to us it for great photography?  The solution: a one-day Photo Expedition in the Twin Cities.  Work on developing the same esthetic and technical skills as on longer Expeditions, and explore three photogenic urban landscapes in a collegial small group workshop, limited to four participants.

This class is for students who are getting started in photography - no prior experience is needed.

If you want to get comfortable with your camera and learn the key techniques for taking interesting and imaginative pictures, this is the class for you!  Students will work in three different indoor and outdoor landscapes, with photo skills exercises tuned to their needs.

At the end of the day, you’ll have greater control over your camera and new, practical ideas for composition.   Tuition for the day is $175.00.
