What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!
What’s involved? Each session starts with an introduction to the theme, and the photography instructor will chat about the camera settings and techniques to use. You’ll then have time to take lots of photos, with the instructor present to answer any questions. You’ll receive feedback and have a chance to chat with everyone to share tips and ideas. We’re a social bunch!
After group editing session. After each group the instructor runs an optional 1.5 hour critique, select, and edit session to help you improve your important post-shoot skills. While much editing can be done on modern cameras, it's best to bring a tablet or laptop with editing software to get the most out of this session. Select this option when booking to attend.

This was the first photography class that made any sense to me.
His explanation about the camera and how it works was fantastic.
I have taken many photography classes and this one was the best.

Things really click when Russ explains them. He has a way of making something that was previously confusing, finally totally clear. He makes himself available for further help. It was a spectacular class and I already signed up for another. I really can't say enough about Russ as an instructor; he's amazing.

Great teacher: patient, answered all questions and demonstrated how easy it can be to use manual settings, putting the photographer more in control of his or her work.
