Every trip you take brings its own special memories and moments. By learning how to master your camera and gear, you’ll create images that help make lasting memories for each adventure.

Travel photography can create new obstacles and challenges that you might not expect.

FAQs

+ I'm new to photography, should I start with these classes?

  • Travel Photography is a great class to learn tips for specific photography goals. However, if you're just starting with your camera and/or photography, we suggest starting with our most popular class, Digital Cameras 1

+ Do I need a camera for these classes?

  • Bringing a camera is highly encouraged. In each class we'll discuss settings and tactics that will be camera-specific, so having your camera on hand will be helpful. Interested in renting a camera for class? We have you covered, rent with us here.

  • These workshops are lecture based and may include some outdoor photography, but only for a brief time. To get full hands-on practice we suggest looking into our additional classes: Night Photography, and Better Composition Photo Walk.
