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.

Class was great introduction to photography! Chris was patient and he explained everything with real examples it was easy to understand and it was fun! For sure I will continue with more classes!
Chris covered a lot of material and gave good explanations to questions that were asked. I look forward to taking more classes and improving my photography. Well worth it!
This 90minute course explains not only about the school and its specific classes, but also basic stuff and elements of photography. In the class they provide you with camera, pen and pencil. Teacher also walk individually and makes sure everyone has a clue of what is going on in the class.
I really enjoyed the class very informative, helped with identifying and maneuvering through the camera. My instructor Vanessa was awesome very knowledgeable and you can tell she loves what she does! I would highly recommend to get familiar with your camera. Thanks CP…
Great information…..like a leading line, Nick drew us in! The class was thorough, inviting, and interesting, and it was just the spark I needed to jump back into photography. I’ve already signed up for photo 1!
This class couldn’t have been better. I wish I’d done it years ago. Already signed up for Photo I.
Best ten bucks ever spent.
I no longer have to use Auto because my camera dial is the wheel of confusion. I am really excited to take Photo I and beyond. The instructor, Nick was awesome and patient. He made me feel like I could conquer my DSLR and take magical pictures in 90 minutes. A fun, interactive environment and learning experience overall.
Very informative and clear intro. Gave me enough basics to start playing with my camera. Looking forward to January classes.
Thank you for the review and comment, looking forward to classes beginning in January!
So happy I took the introduction class! Looking to learn how to use my camera as I reignite my love for photography, learn all about my camera and how to take amazing shots. Nick is a really good teacher – he was informative, his teaching style was versatile to all the students, he’s patient and funny! I look forward to taking Photography 1 and onwards!
Meeta, Thank you for your comments and we look forward to you being back in the school!
This class was a perfect introduction to the basics. If you are tired of watching YouTube videos and was some actual interaction with an instructor this class is perfect to start with. I will definitley be signing up for the Photo 1 class series. Thank you Nick for offering a free introduction class, it sure says a lot about your passion to teach photography and help others.
