CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY INTENSIVE
Take better photos in just 4 weeks using any device! This was the first class we offered in Erika’s home studio back in 2018 and it’s a great way to explore all different kinds of photography, learn how to deal with challenging lighting indoors & outdoors, and find the right angles. By the end of this class, your child will use composition and creativity with every photo they take.
