Photo Class Feelers
My photography skills are what they are because of the one on one help I have received from too many people to count. Those interactions have been invaluable to me.
I have a wonderful photographer friend who I have been working with to fine tune her skills and help her to realize her own personal style and vision. It has been such a joy for me to watch her grow through the process and to truly be a part of her journey. I don't want to lose that momentum as we turn the corner into the new year and she begins to step out more confidently on her own. The two of us have been tossing back and forth a few ideas for how I could continue to see others make incredible strides in their photographic skills, whether they are hobbyists or hoping to some day (maybe soon, maybe later) become a professional.
The final product has been a small-group online class of no more than 6 who would complete a 12 week course consisting of 6 assignments. The classes would be geared towards those using SLR cameras and post production in Photoshop. The classes would also focus mainly on the area of portrait/journalistic photography, as I am not at all proficient in landscape/wildlife areas. I leave that up to the National Geographic guys :) . Each person would get an hour individual one on one chat time with me 6 times throughout the 12 week course, and other helps through the class forum from both me and the other potential classmates at any time in the 12 week period.
There would be a fee as of yet undetermined, but if there is interest, I'm thinking of offering the first course at a highly discounted rate (read: possibly free) for various reasons (mostly because the first class would be the guinea pigs for getting technical things like the forum and the chats and wording for assignments and such worked out).
If you or anyone you know might be interested, please leave a comment here or email me at wsphotography at cox dot net.
If there is interest I will open it up to registration on a first come first served basis sometime before the first of the year and classes would start mid-January.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
