This course is designed for students who have little previous experience with digital photography, instructor Jaclyn Brown will help students overcome their fear of using manual settings on a DSLR camera and show cell phone camera users how to maximize potential and quality. Students will be introduced to camera operations, very basic image editing, and other important building blocks. After the workshop, students will be able to utilize their newly acquired skills, gain knowledge of what makes a good photograph, and develop the confidence to take better control of their photographs as a whole. All ages are welcome; we encourage bringing snacks and a bagged lunch. This program has been organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and is funded, in part, by the Paul Mellon Endowment and the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund.
