Fundamentals 1:  Camera Operations   is for students who are just starting out, or want a good review of the basic camera functions. 

​

Fundamentals 2:  Applications  is for students who have some comfort with the camera and want to start applying their skills to expand their photographic range.

​

Fundamentals 3:  Composition  takes photography beyond the subject, and encourages you to see the artistic and compositional opportunities in everyday life. Here is a chance for your right brain to come out and play!

​

Fundamentals 4:  Lighting Across the Genres is for students who are  ready for the next critical step: lighting.  Explore sophisticated means of controlling both natural and artificial light for portraits, landscape and still life to get just the mood and effects you want.

​

Advanced Photography - Using self-generated assignments and in-depth critiques we will help you move forward in your work.  ​​​​

Photo Salon

​

These are very friendly, relaxed get-togethers.   Photographers of all levels are welcome to share pictures, get photography tips, and discuss camera equipment. You can also get ideas for entering photography contests, submitting to photography magazines and having photo shows. Feedback from the group provides encouragement and inspiration to go out and take more pictures. These informal photography critiques offer an excellent opportunity to start identifying themes in your work and to get ideas for new directions. Group size is limited, so if you can come an RSVP is required by email or call (610) 626-7854. Cost is $10.  These Salons often fill-up, so it's best to get your spot early.

​

Note: New Haverford Location:  RSVP to get address and directions.

Sad Announcement  

Our online Photo Salon  

 is on pause, indefinitely, due to a glitch that we haven't been able to resolve.  A huge thanks to all the amazing photographers who have made this project such a rewarding experience for all of us.

When we figure out how to reinstate the salon, we will be sure to have a big announcement.
