All our classes coincide with a run of the Purpose Driven Life program tweaked in the perspective of a photographer. Students are expected to follow the Purpose Driven Life reading schedule in order to maximize the results of this training program.
1. Basic Photography - We start off the week by teaching you the basics. The difference between our program is that we focus more on the essential things that you need to shoot. This study on the fundamentals prepares you for more advance learning and enables you to understand how the camera’s way of capturing is different from how our eye captures images.
2.Composition - What differentiates a snap shot from a creative shot? How do the elements in your picture & perspective affect over-all picture
3. Posing - in our years of experience, we discovered that most people dread this aspect of photography. In this class, we teach you not only ways on how to hide flaws of your subject, not only how to pose them in a way that compliments their body structure but also how to communicate and speak in a way that subjects would understand exactly what you are saying.
4. Outdoor Photography - this aspect of photography is very unpredictable because it is beyond your control. In this class, we teach you how to shoot great pictures not only when lighting is good but even when lighting is really bad. What equipment do you need to be ready for anything? We’ll teach you how to properly shoot with the light or against it.
5. Indoor & Studio - We teach you the differences between light modifiers, how to light up a background and use of props.
6. Shoot out – a day of testing the theories that you’ve learned for the past weeks. Our mentor will be available for consultation this whole day. Transportation and other expenses are not included in the tuition fee.
7. Graduation Party – Our way of closing classes ends with a party. Everyone brings a print-out of their best work according to our theme. Awards will be given based on our judges’ decisions. This will be a time of fellowship and sharing about our passion.
