What to expect: The class will run for four weeks, during which you will have access to a private Have Camera Will Shoot space where you will be able to have interaction with others learning right along side you. Each batch of lessons will be ready bright and early Monday morning. No matter where you are in the world, or what your schedule is, you can access the PDF lessons (and videos) when it is convenient for you. I will be in the classroom daily answering questions and offering advice.

There will be assigned shooting projects along with your lessons, you can submit your assignments if desired (not required) for private or open critique from me, throughout the week and it will be given each weekend prior to the next lesson.

Here is what we will cover:
