OFF AUTO Beginners Photography Workshop - Dec 3, 2016 - Dedham, MA

I could not be more excited to announce that I will be hosting another Beginners Photography Workshop! Mark your calendars for OFF AUTO on Saturday, December 3rd from 9am to 1pm!

This workshop is perfect for beginner photographers who are looking to learn more about photography, specifically how to take their DSLR cameras off Automatic and into Manual. If you purchased a camera for a Europe vacation or to photograph your kids but defer to your camera phone instead because your fancy camera is too daunting to take out of the bag, come learn more about it to make it less scary and more accessible. We'll learn how to manipulate the settings to create the photographs you are looking to capture.

This four-hour workshop will be held with no more than 10 students to keep an intimate and personalized setting, and will include a two-hour open forum presentation, one-hour practical {yes, actually using your camera!} and one-hour regroup with Q&A over lunch.

The cost is $295 and there are currently two promotions to reduce the cost for those looking to save a little money. The early bird $265 special starts today and runs through November 4th. And, if you book with a friend, you can take an additional $30 off. You read that right! If you do both, sign up before 11/4 and sign up with a friend, you can save $60!

Email me at tracy@thrgallery.com with any questions.

Note that you do not have to own any camera equipment to attend the workshop. I will have my equipment on hand for those who do not yet own DSLRs. If you do own a camera body and lens(s), I highly encourage you to bring your gear so that you can learn right on your own device.

Take a look at my recap from our Winter 2015 workshop on the blog!

My love for dried flowers, details, and my family of entrepreneurs

One thing I am exceptionally proud of is coming from a family of entrepreneurs. My Aunt Dawn opened Peridot Fine Jewelry in Larchmont, NY {MAP} over a decade ago, selling a beautifully curated collection of fine jewelry by incredibly talented artists. I have always been inspired by how she has created relationships with each of her artists along with everyone who walks in the door of her store. She constantly demonstrates an amazing example of above and beyond customer service. {Must be why my husband purchased my Anne Sportun engagement ring from Dawn!}

Earlier this week while home visiting my family, I spent some time in Peridot to give my aunt a photography lesson. Normally I would post various jewelry photographs here, but I actually only picked up my own camera for a few moments before we started our lesson. {As with all lessons, I teach on the camera that you will be using.} Here are a few of the beautiful details I found in her store before we got started. Next time I will share some jewelry shots, I promise!
