Taking two-dimensional photographs is a simpler way of preserving a moment than erecting three-dimensional dioramas or creating four-dimensional time loops.

Click Portrait Studio's professional lens charmers preserve images of families, couples, pets, and graduates, imparting their experience to novices during introductory photography classes. In morning and evening sessions, instructors coach between 10 and 25 students on the essentials of digital photography, showing photo newbies and post-larval shutterbugs alike how to make the most of their camera, lens, and flash (not provided). In addition to techniques including camera settings, exposure, and lighting, the class also covers image-processing software and methods to post photos on social-media sites or upload them to the brains of bionic relatives. To compensate for the brain’s natural memory leaks, Click’s instructors send students home with literature reviewing class concepts.
