Chris Moran of the 304 Collective will teach two classes on the basics of black and white film photography. These classes will also serve as an orientation for those who wish to continue using the 304 Collective darkroom on their own.

On Saturday, January 25, 1pm-4pm, students will learn to develop their own film.  Everyone is encouraged to shoot a roll of film (Kodak TRI-X 400 preferred) prior to the class and bring it with them to develop.  The developed film will need to dry overnight.

Then Sunday, January 26, 1pm-4pm, Chris will teach the basics of black and white printmaking in the 304 Collective Darkroom. Everyone will make an 8×10 print of their own to keep!

Film photography classes are $99 each, or you can take both classes for $175.  Class size will be limited to 6 students.  The minimum age for students is 16 years.  An early-bird discount is available to anyone that signs up before January 1 – both classes for $150!

Have a camera that’s been sitting around collecting dust? Got a brand new camera for Christmas and no clue how to use it? That’s okay! Getting started is the hardest part. And we’re here to help.

On February 1, Chelsea with Rocha and Co Photography will host a beginners “coffee + cameras” class here at the 304 Collective.

Chelsey will start from the ground up. If you haven’t learned anything other than how to turn your camera on – that’s just fine. She will touch on all the basic terms and skills you’ll need to switch over to manual mode; all the camera settings you’ll need to know, focus, lighting and more.

Whether you have a passion for photography or really just want to take nice pictures of your kids (or dogs), this class can be for you!

Class size will remain small. $150 reserves your seat (and coffee cup!) and this will ensure we have one on one time so you can be free to ask questions as you wish. Payment plans are available (50%/50% with remaining balance due 2 weeks prior). It is recommended that you have your own DSLR to bring to the class so you’ll get the most out of the hands on learning.

On February 23, Kristin with Kristin Hurley Photography will teach Consistent and Efficient Editing with Lightroom. Kristin will help you develop your photography style and edit faster and more consistently than ever before using simple features in Adobe Lightroom.

Here’s what you can expect:
1. Master organizing and culling to dramatically improve your efficiency.
2. Streamline your editing with presets and mass edits.
3. Walk through a complete workflow, step by step.

No more unreached deadlines, extended office hours spent editing, or missing important events to complete edits.  Take back your time today!

This class is $150, with a $25 early bird discount for those who book before January 1, 2020.

Rebecca with 304 Collective will teach two classes on DSLR Video.

On February 8, from 9am-12pm, we’ll start with an Introduction to Video class.  This class will cover the basics of shooting and editing video with either iMovie or Filmora and is perfect for anyone who wants to use their new camera to document family adventures or create for YouTube. Students should bring their camera, and a laptop to edit on if they have one.  This class is $150, with a $25 early bird discount.

This will be the 3rd year for our Video for Photographers class.  On February 22 from 9am-4pm, Rebecca will teach filming and editing techniques to those who already have a firm understanding of camera basics.  This class is great for those wishing to add video to portrait sessions or to harness the power of video for marketing purposes.

This class is a full day class, lunch will be provided.  Participants should bring their cameras and laptop to edit on (you’ll receive an email with details upon registration). This class is $299, with a $50 early bird discount for those who register before January 1, 2020.
