- Is your fancy digital camera still on auto, just like it was when you took it out of the box?
- Are you feeling frustrated trying to get better photos, yet you lack the time and patience to learn how?
- Does trying to read the techno-jargon in your camera’s manual make you want to pull your hair out?
If you thrive in a casual learning environment with time to ask questions and receive personal feedback, then you would be an ideal fit for the Beginners Photography Class in Lexington, KY on August 10, 2013.
My first digital camera was a Christmas gift from my husband. The excitement of receiving such a great gift was soon trumped by the realization that I didn’t have a clue how to use it! Like you, I had a dream of taking amazing pictures and just wanted someone to tell me what camera settings to use. My frustration quickly turned to obsession, as I poured countless hours of myself into learning photography. (I’m pretty sure my husband regretted giving me the camera at this point, seeing as how I was attached to it 24-7!)
Today, I not only have a passion for taking portraits and creating art for my clients, but also a passion for teaching others how to capture better photos for their loved ones too.

After numerous requests to share photography tips and tricks, the Beginners Photography Class was born.
This four hour small group class is focused on learning how to get more from your camera and take better pictures. The class size is limited to 20 students so everyone will have an opportunity to ask specific questions. Enjoy the casual class atmosphere as you sip on a Mimosa, make new friends and take in all the class information.

“It’s so worth it! It forces you to sit down and learn the basics because we all know if it was up to us we would never read the manual on our own. The class was a great condensed summary of all the important things it would take hours and hours to research on your own. It was also great to hear the answers to other participant’s questions that you don’t necessarily think about but would be sure to run into sooner or later. Kristin is a great teacher who will take the time to make sure you know it before you leave the room!”

Can I still come to the class if I don’t have a fancy digital camera?
Yes! This class will teach you how to take better pictures regardless of the camera you are using. However, focus will be on DSLRs, so they are recommended for maximum class impact.
What should I bring with me to class?
All you need to bring is your camera with the manual … if you can find it! Most camera manuals can be found online and are easily downloadable to your computer, tablet or phone.
Will there be time to practice taking pictures?
While we will not be shooting an actual shoot with models, I always encourage you to snap away throughout the class! Talking, learning and practicing are the best ways to pick up the material quickly.
I have a question that’s not here …
Just ask! Write Kristin@kristintatem.com and I will get back with you as soon as possible.

“It was great to simply learn what all the buttons and meters on my camera are since I’ve never bothered to read the manual. It was also useful to learn that certain lenses are only capable of so much. Learning aperture has changed my whole world of photography.”
“I loved how laid back the class was. Being able to ask questions throughout made it so easy to really understand all of the information. I also loved the booklet that we went through step by step!”

“You did an excellent job covering the basics….perfect for beginners to understand. Just learning what the “thing a majigs” on my camera are for has made a huge difference. Yes, I could have read my manual, but you put it in simple terms!” |
