WE ARE BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER FREE WORKSHOP!

The first assignment will go live on Thursday, January 19, 2023.

You will have one week to product the image, and it must be posted by 3 PM Pacific on the day of the show, 1-26-2023.

Each additional assignment will go live on Thursday mornings, so you will always have a week to produce the photo.

This one will be focusing on the tabletop. Twelve to sixteen square feet to work our magic.

We will be focusing on particular approaches to still life. We will cover lighting, composition, framing, and post-processing techniques.

Your images may be used for examples, and in further courses offered here. If that is a problem, you should reconsider the class. All images used will be accredited to the photographer.

TERMS:

• There is no signup.
• There is no CC.
• There is no Email list.
• There is no funnel.
• There is nothing for sale.

You either show up for the class or you do not.

Just like in real life.

The first class will go up on January 19, and the first live class is January 26, 2023

You will have one week to make the photograph.
You MUST get it into the Facebook Group Album BEFORE the critique starts (make it 3 PM to be sure.)

Late entries may not be critiqued.

Our first live critique will be on Thursday, January 26, 2023 when we will review the images from our first class.
The next assignment will go live that day or sooner.
