5 Session Photography Course - April/May Tuesday Session 2026

Our most popular class! If you've always wanted to learn more about your camera and how to take better photos, this is the class for you!

Save by purchasing a class package! The package includes our ILC Basics Class , 3 weeks of Fundamentals of Photography, and a photo shoot. We'll cover automatic, scene & manual modes. You will learn how to properly expose your photos, composition techniques, autofocus control, and tools of the trade. Reinforce your learning with homework assignments provided during class (don't worry, we don't grade them!). Then, finish off the course with hands on practice at the photo shoot!
