My Jumpstart Digital Camera class gets booked by photography enthusiasts so they can move beyond technical overwhelm. I render the complexities of digital cameras and photography into a simple practice, so you can confidently create photographs that exceed your expectations. See behind the Manual Mode BUZZ on You Tube. Sheesh, Manual Mode is important to know but you do not have to tattoo it to your skull. 🤔
In one day. Honest! Read the reviews.
You’ll Learn To:
• Manual Mode is the basis to all the modes. Once understood, pick your mode. Done.
• See in a new light and think like a photographer.
• This applies to street photography, portraiture, landscape, nature and studio still life.
• Shoot with confidence
• Class Size is limited, ensuring you receive personalized attention with YOUR camera.
• Unlimited opportunity to ask questions and refine your technique.
Book Your Class
I came to the DSLR/M Jumpstart class with some prior theoretical knowledge of DSLR cameras and exposure settings, gained from a class I took years ago and watching lots of YouTube videos. However, Tom’s class transformed that knowledge into practical skills. What stood out to me was how Tom tailored his teaching to help us work with our specific gear, making the experience much more hands-on and personalized. Beyond being a great instructor, Tom is a passionate and inspiring artist. He gave us a printout of a quote at the end of the class that left a lasting impression on me.
