Learn the functions of your cellphone, DSLR, or point-and-shoot camera with this beginner-friendly photography class in Asbury Park that will help you understand how to get the most out of your camera. In this supportive and intimate workshop, a professional photographer will guide you through both automatic and manual controls of your camera.
During this sit-down class and with a maximum of just five students per class to ensure personalized attention, you’ll learn how to adjust settings on your specific camera or smartphone. After you register, we’ll collect your camera make and model in advance so your instructor can tailor the lesson and highlight special features unique to your device.
Perfect for anyone looking for a strong foundation in photography, this class builds confidence before moving on to more advanced techniques. You’ll leave ready to override default settings, avoid common camera mistakes, and capture images that reflect your creative vision.
Please Note
The Camera Controls Photography Class session is always held at the same location as our Field Composition Class, which begins immediately afterward. You can enroll in this secondary class for a discount by selecting the 'Class Combo Discount' extra during checkout for this class. You don’t need to register separately for Composition in the Field—you’ll automatically be enrolled in both sessions when you choose the combo option.
