Take better pictures. Create stronger images!

You’ll learn about lenses, the elements of composition, textures, and depth of field. Find out about working the scene, or “walking around your subject”, and about photographing people. You’ll start to see “good light”, get better sunset images and night shots.


8 Hours fully interactive, class time

One 2 hour “Better Photography” class every week for 4 weeks. Darlene teaches live, you can ask questions as it happens. You will be able to ask your questions live, using audio and video (if you choose to) so you and the instructor can see each other. Weekly practice assignments with live feedback, discussion and encouragement keep you on track and moving in the right direction.

The material was presented in a clear and straightforward manner. Darlene’s use of photos to illustrate before/after or better/worse helped reinforce her presentation.– Robert M.

The discussion was limited to only a few topics which allowed for detailed conversation that was not rushed.– Anthony R.

It was very specific, and not slanted by personal taste, and got right to the points that we can take away in an easy way to remember.– Sharon A.

Darlene is not only a photographer, she is a teacher.– Michael S.
