PHOTOGRAHY 101

Hi families!

I am so excited to be creating with your kids. We are going to have fun!

Camera recomendations:

The best camera, is the one you have with you. A usable image of a beautiful moment is better than a perfect image that never got captured.

That said, to get the most benefit from our class, a camera that allows you to control the setting would be the best option. I use the Canon system, but Nikon is amazing too. If you do not have a camera, see if you can borrow one from a family member or use a phone.

If you want to buy one for class...This one looks really perfect for our purposes. It has a manual feature so we can explore creative control and it has a range on focal lengths for many options.

Here are a few more in the EMA...

Truly any camera will work. As you begin to capture images, you will begin to see the features that you may want. Cameras all have different features and it really is personal preference so the best thing to do is get started with what you have, see what you enjoy photographing and then upgrade from there.

WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS:

*a notebook and pen

*water

*a snack or $ for snacks

*a camera of any kind

*Camera bag or back pack (we will be on the move)

*A Subject. A figurine of choice (to have a "Subject" to photograph). Ideally I'd like students to use the same subject each week and create a body of work featuring that subject.

It can be anything you like. Not too small as that will be harder to photograph. Here are a few ideas... But it truly can be anything, as everything in this world needs a photo!

This is mine! Danphank Blue is about 7" tall.

Looking forward to creating with you all!
