Do It Yourself Photography Workshop
Saturday February 4th - 9:00am 

Have you ever wanted to photograph your own jewelry for a website, juried show, or yourself but have struggled with getting the results that you want? Have your colors been off, your pictures been out of focus or your metal been too bright? Have you just wanted to learn how to use your camera to take overall better pictures? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this class is for you!
This class is geared for artists who want to document their own work or take basic pictures for a website.

This unique class begins with basic digital photography fundamentals including basic camera function, equipment, and digital photography terms and applications. The second part of the class focuses of studio set-up and lighting. The final part of the class is dedicated to exposure and photographing on challenging backgrounds.
