March Break Teen Camp: what a great week!

gtaphoto — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:27:46 +0000

We had so much fun running our March Break Teen Camp this past week.
The weather was amazing, so we had a lot of shooting opportunities outside! The group of students were great and helped make it a unique camp where we all had fun!!

The students left with a really good understanding of photography including composition and exposure. Here are some pictures from the week:

*Note: NEW TEEN SESSION (4 WEEKS) has just been introduced. SAT AM 9:30 am – 11:30 am (May 8 – 29)
Check out the details here: KIDS & TEENS CLASSES

LOANER CAMERAS NOW AVAILABLE

gtaphoto — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:28:13 +0000

We are happy to announce that we now have a line of cameras that are available on loan for only 10% increase in the course price.
($25 for PHOTO 101 / $49.50 for TEEN CAMPS)

If you have not yet made your big DSLR purchase and are looking to:

learn more about photography
learn more about different cameras and lenses
make sure it is something that you will enjoy

and all BEFORE making the big purchase! Then you might consider one of our loaner cameras.

HOW DO I REQUEST ONE?

To borrow our cameras during class time, just register as usual and select the loaner camera option in the registration process.

WHAT KIND OF CAMERAS DO YOU PROVIDE?

We have the Canon Rebel series.

CAN I TAKE IT HOME?

Unfortunately, the cameras are available during class time only. We have multiple sessions running throughout the week, so in order for everyone to have access to them, we do have to keep them in our studio.
You do get lots of opportunity to practice in our classes. Especially during our 2 hour field trip where we just shoot for the full class.
