Photo tips {online workshop}
Photography has been a gift in my life. When I pick up my camera, the world slows down and the beauty in the mundane is revealed. Randomly you can find little photography tips and thoughts on my blog. Below you easily scan through some from the past.
If you are interested in learning more about the basics of photography, I also teach an online photography workshop, called SnapShop. SnapShops were born out of a desire to enable others not only to grasp the basics of photography with a dslr camera, but also learn how to capture the beauty in their everydays.
Frustrated with your point-and-shoot, you made the investment in a dslr and still aren’t getting the shots you hoped. Are you stuck in automatic mode? Do the words “aperture”, “shutter speed” and “ISO” sound like a foreign language, but one you would like to learn to speak? Are you captivated by photographs that tell a story? Do you dream of capturing the beauty of your everyday life? If so, the SnapShop course was written for you. In this course, you will find original content that I have developed over the last three years. I would love to help you go from knowing how to just take a picture to beautifully capturing the moments of your life. SnapShops run 3 weeks at a time, are entirely online and entirely self-paced. You fit the course into your schedule.
