Photography 101 Workshop


I must say I am so excited. Bobbi Janell Photography will be offering workshops in 2014.

Our workshops will be geared towards Moms and Dads who want to learn more about their camera and taking better pictures of their children.  We will also be doing another Shutter Kidz Summer Camp Program. Each participant is required to have digital SLR camera. My recommendation as far as an DSLR is one of the following:

Canon EOS T3 $350-$400 (on amazon), I also would recommend that you have a 50 mm lens, but do not require it. You do not need to buy a new camera for this work shop as long as you have a digital SLR camera. There are a lot of really inexpensive dslr's that are wonderful. My recommendation is that you get at least an 12 mega pixel camera. 



Here are the dates:

Adults:
Photography 101 Part 1: Registration starts November 1, 2013
Here we will explore exposure, composition, posing and general information about your camera.
March 29th-30th: Location Alison Woods, Statesville NC. Sat 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The cost is $125 and will include lunch, drinks and snacks plus your materials and an actual  photo shoot on Sunday. The non-refundable retainer ($50) is due at time of sign-up and the balance is due March 26th

Photography 101 Part 2: Registration starts May 1, 2013
Here we will explore 'M' or manual mode. Many people fear and dread the 'M' but if you learn from the beginning or at least soon after getting your camera you will be fine. Remember its harder to break old habits than it is to learn the right way first. We will hold our workshop on July 19th-20th, in Statesville, NC. The cost is $125 and will include lunch, drinks and snacks plus your materials and an actual  photo shoot on Sunday. The non-refundable retainer ($50) is due at time of sign-up and the balance is due June 27th



Kids:
We will hold two, 1 week long sessions. Each day will begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. Fro ages 13-16
                       Dates: Session 1 June 16th-20th and Session 2 July 14th-18th
Week 1 we will explore our cameras, learn to handle and store them properly. We will also learn about focus, exposure and composition. The cost is $125 per child. The cost includes 2-snacks per day, drinks and materials. Registration is due no later than May 1st, a deposit of $25. The remaining balance is due on June 1st.

Week 2 we will continue to learn about exposure, composition and posing. The children will participate in an actual photo shoot. The cost is $125 per child. The cost includes 2-snacks per day, drinks and materials. Registration is due no later than June 19th a deposit of $25. The remaining balance is due on July 8th.
