Event Details

5-Day Digital Photography Workshop
This workshop is designed to take you from the basics of photography (getting the right exposure) right through handling your digital files so you can manage them and find them when you need them and want to print them. 

You have the option to sign up for  for the entire 5 days or individual days.  There are only 15 seats available for the the full week so sign up quickly.

You will have assignments to complete at the end of each day and we'll review your photos at the beginning of each day.  So you will need to bring your camera and make sure you've got fresh batteries and memory cards.

Exact times for the field trip will be determined based upon weather and destination.  The field trip will be a full-day trip of at least 8 hours.

This is just an outline of the topics we'll discuss. We'll discuss various cameras to help you understand every topic more thoroughly. You'll have the opportunity to get your questions answered in a way that will be meaningful.

We're going to talk about photographing your friends and family, your pets, your car, your house, nature, and just about anything that you might want to photograph. 

Each day will be 5 hours with a brief break mid-morning. Please come prepared to take notes.  A book is available for you to purchase that will help in remembering what you've learned.

Assignments will be given at the end of each day and we will review your images on the following day.

Student Reviews:

I have taken every class from Jeff and been on a few excursions and have gone from taking hundreds of snapshots hoping for a few keepers, to taking a handful of photographs and most will be keepers. You will not find many people with as much experience in film development, digital, Photoshop, printing, scanning, business, teaching, studio, modeling, product photography, macro, and a tour guide through Kansas. Jeff can even make a drive through western Kansas a wonderful experience and you will come back with stories to pass on.  Mike B.

I have attended Jeff's photography class as well as a couple of workshops. I was a complete novice with my little point and shoot camera. Jeff insisted the camera didn't matter, it was all about trusting yourself to take it off "auto" and learn to really take pictures. The material was presented in a format easy for me to understand with lots of one on one instruction (and with a sense of humor!) He convinced me I was smarter than my camera, and the proof is in the photos. When people look at my photos and tell me I missed my calling and should have been a photographer... well that's a testimony to Jeff!  Lori K.
