Studio Photography Class Cost is $75 for four two hour classes. In the summer we have a little longer day so we do some stuff outside as well. Learn about your camera, how to pose, and all about lighting. The first class you will learn about your camera and good basics. During the next three classes we go into the studio and out on location with real people / models. You will photograph starting with basic lighting and basic posing, working up to advanced techniques. You must have an adjustable SLR camera. Film users are still welcome, but most of the class is now digital.

Our 2010 St Augustine Workshop was so much fun. Please ask about more up-coming workshops.

We are located in Jacksonville, Florida, Mike has been teaching Photography and Photoshop classes for about twenty years. A number of the working professional photographers got there start right here. No one is ever treated dumb after-all you have to start somewhere. A young lady came up from Daytona Beach Community College last year to take a full day workshop. Her Words: {I think I learned more in one day here than the entire year at DBBC} I am not saying don't do the college classes they are great. But what Mike teaches is the real world photography. The class is about learning and having fun. He’s known for his easy going attitude and layman's approach. For those who love the technical stuff, Mike's digital and Photoshop expertise is among the best in the nation. Mike is a Certified Professional Photographer, Adobe Expert Certified and an Adobe Beta Tester. In 1998 Mike started one the first Photoshop Clubs. www.NFPUG.com Mike is still often a speaker at their meeting.
