This energetic lecture is conducted every Sunday at our campus at 4001 N Ravenswood Ave. Chicago. It is also conducted Online and at The Art Center (TAC) in Highland Park, Illinois on select dates. The class is designed to introduce people to proper exposure using their cameras. You will learn basic camera operation: an overview of your camera controls, use of your camera’s exposure meter, and a discussion about which lens is the best value.
No camera? No worries! We have cameras to loan for this class. If you are thinking of purchasing a DSLR or Mirrorless Camera, we will help you to understand what to look for so you can make an informed decision.
If you have a new Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) or Mirrorless camera, need a refresher or have never attended a photography class, you should attend this workshop. Or if you are thinking of purchasing a DSLR, Mirrorless or Film (SLR) camera, we will help you to understand what is important and what’s not important in cameras with interchangeable lenses. You will learn basic camera operation: an overview of your camera controls, use of your camera’s exposure meter, and a discussion about which lens is the best value. No worries if you have a film camera because those cameras are covered too. Be sure to bring a camera, as well as your camera manual if you have one.

Thank you for such a great informative Intro class. Nick made the “numbers” part of photography easy to understand. I am so looking forward to the next 7 weeks in the Photo I class.
Thank you. We look forward to continuing your photographic journey with you.
A super-informative class for the beginner that helped me to (really) understand my camera for the first time.
Thank you, pleased to have helped. Hope to see you in the future.
I have a new Fuji and I’ve been struggling with it for months. Nick turned the light on for me!!! Now I can go out and shoot!
Thanks, Tami! It was such a pleasure to have you in the class.
I attended the 90 minute class yesterday and was very happy that I did. Every seat was occupied. The class was full of individuals wanting to learn more about the school and photography. Nick was great as he explained some of the basics of photography. He has a great personality and an excellent sense of humor. Patiently answered everyone’s questions. Without hesitation I signed up for the Photo 1 course. Very much looking forward to it!
Excellent instructor ! I will continue the courses .
Thank you for attending. We look forward to having you in class.
The free 90 minute photography class was awesome! Very informative, interactive and easy to understand. I look forward to enrolling in the Black and White Film class in the near future! Thanks, Rick for introducing me to the current student of the B&W Film class, she was informative as well! See you soon.
Thank you for attending. Looking forward to seeing you in the next B&W class.
Great into class to cameras, photography, and the school.
This class was exactly what I was looking for: the basics and helping me to find the courage to get out of “auto” mode. Explanations were clear and easy to understand. I plan on signing up for Photo 1 in the fall.
Nick is an excellent communicator, the all class was easy to follow and made some of confusing things cleat to me, unfortunately can’t take the classes this July but hope to do it in September, thank you much.

Excellent overview class! My dad and my uncle both tried explaining ISO’s, aperture, etc to me on separate occasions, but it still didn’t gel with me…until today. The way Nick explained things, along with the handouts, made things much clearer. I plan on signing up for the Photo I class very soon. Thank you!
