Forget Me Not Photography Course
This photography course is geared toward beginner students who want to learn the elements of photography and to shoot with a camera in manual mode, to have full control over their camera.
The course is not only a photography course, but also a journey of one's role in beautifying and being a light in this world.
Students will read excerpts from an inspirational book called "The Creative Flight" by Chris Orwig to foster creativity, to reflect on one's style, and to seek purpose with this artistic craft. We will also have shooting and reading assignments from the "Visual Toolbox" by David Duchemin.
