Alaska is a vast wilderness where the photographic opportunities are endless. We cover a great deal of ground on this trip, covering a potpourri of some of the best place this state has to offer. We spend time in Denali where we hope to capture staggering landscapes of Mount Denali and the untouched beauty of Denali National Park. If weather permits the possibility of capturing the Aurora Borealis will keep the night owls awake.

We spend time on Resurrection Bay where we can get up close to Orca, Sea Otters, Harbor Seals, Puffin, Bald Eagles, Mountain Goats, as well as the Holgate Glacier and the amazing Alaskan coastline. We spend time at Kennecott Mine and Independence Mine, both are pieces of Alaskan history that have endless opportunities for still life, landscape, and macro photography.

For many guests, the best part of the trip is on Crescent Lake, where we get up close and personal with the Alaskan Brown Bear aka The Grizzly Bear. This is an opportunity not to be missed. Join us to explore, be inspired, make new friends, and most important of all come home with images that tell the story of your adventure. Once you go you’ll want to go back...it’s that amazing!

Composition refers to the way in which various elements of a scene are arranged within the frame. Learning how to compose an image is just as important as learning proper exposure. There are no hard rules in composition, but there are guidelines that enhance the visual experience. In this class we explore these elements and discuss how they affect an image and how to use them as a form of expression. We will also cover a general history of photography.

This class is an introduction to the basic photographic principles of ISO, Shutterspeed, and Aperture and how these elements work together to create four types of images; show action, stop action, full depth of field, and limited depth of field. We cover other topics such as Metering, White Balance, Auto Focus, Contrast Ratios, and limitations of digital and film cameras. If you are new to Digital Photography or have had your camera for years and are still shooting on Automatic Mode, this is the class for you. We help simplify your camera so that you can take better images and enjoy the process. The small class setting makes learning comfortable and interactive.

This class builds on material discussed in Photo I. Students will learn about lens perspectives and focal lengths and what lens to choose based on what they want their image to look like.We cover equipment choices for various genres of photography and image types. We dive deeper into other photographic accessories such as filters, meters, flashes, and digital storage options. Students also learn how to use the four stops of light to determine exposure. The combination of Photo I and II lay the foundation for those interested in learning photography.

This class is an introduction to Adobe Photoshop. We cover the various tools in PS; what they do and when you would use them. Our focus is to help you learn how to edit your photos using five tools or less. We also cover monitor calibration, printer profiles, color correction, media storage, and a basic workflow. Editing programs are the second step in digital photography. Just like film must be processed, so do digital images. Think of these editing programs as your “digital darkroom”. On the second night students will work on their own images with one on one assistance from our instructors.
