Monthly Group Mentoring
Different topics will be covered one day each month in-person. We’ll start with an intro of each topic while leaving time for you to ask questions, practice, and get feedback from me and your fellow participants.
Sign up for each session individually or choose several in which you are most interested. One or all!
Information will be shared through in-person discussions, zoom calls, pdf’s, and videos.
Class Structure
Most mentoring sessions will be in-person in various locations of Northern California comprising an overview of the topic followed by discussion and questions. Locations will be determined somewhat by the locations of the participants, but expect to have to drive a little ways. You will have time to practice the concept(s) we cover. I will be there to answer questions and offer support with your practice. Each in-person session will last about 90 minutes.
We’ll cover a variety of topics, including:
exposure triangle, composition, how to get sharp photos, white balance, macro, landscape, portrait, wildlife, double exposures, free-lensing, sunbursts, equipment, editing in both Lightroom and Photoshop, and so much more!
