Capture the beauty of the natural world through your lens in this engaging 3-session Nature & Wildlife Photography class for adults and students ages 15+. Whether using a smartphone or digital camera, participants will learn how to create stunning outdoor images while building confidence behind the camera.
Topics include seasonal photography tips, composition, camera settings, lighting, and simple editing techniques to help bring photos to life. Participants will also head outdoors during class to practice new skills in real-world settings, share their work, and learn from one another in a fun and supportive environment. Helpful handouts and resources will be provided so participants can continue growing their photography skills long after class ends. Please dress appropriately for the weather, as classes 1 and 2 will include outdoor practice time.
