Owner and photographer Sarah Kobunski leads aspiring shutterbugs to a greater understanding of snapping techniques with workshops at Desired Focus Photography. Each private class begins with a one-hour lesson in which pupils learn how to use their DSLR cameras’ manual mode. Instruction covers aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and how to work the camera’s clutch. Students will also receive tips on how to best compose pictures in automatic mode, as well as proper employment of light through natural sources, flash, and white balance to capture subjects in natural poses. After the indoor instruction, subject-seeking duos or quartets will embark on a customized 30-minute photo safari through the city, bringing their newfound skills to bear on every interesting model and landmark they come across.

Photographing participants also take home a reference guide for future memory-catching situations, with helpful sample pictures that can be cut out and palmed off as original work. Find upcoming class times through the online schedule.
