Studio founder Paul McDermott, an expert stager of brides, grooms, and musicians in dynamic poses, teaches shooters of all levels to use their cameras’ features to produce striking results. During Photography 101: Understanding the Basics, students and their personal digital SLR sidekicks tackle the concepts of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. In Photography 102: Taking the Basics a Step Further, McDermott turns up the two-dimensional volume by encouraging students to experiment with high-dynamic range images and a variety of exposures, lens settings, and tricks such as how to make a camera roll over. Pupils in Photography 103: Exploring Off Camera Flash journey off-site into the natural environment for flashless workarounds and to take in surprising light sources. The hands-on, interactive seminars last four hours each.
