Business Class

Saturday and Sunday, September 25th & 26th, 10am - 3pm (sign up for one or both days)

What you see is not always what you get when taking a photograph. Exposure is a critical element in getting the most out of your photographs. In this class, you will learn how to set your camera for any situation, what to look for in a scene, and how to avoid the pitfalls of digital exposure. You will gain professional tips that eliminate a lot of work at your computer after taking your photos. Students should bring examples of their photographs for some helpful tips on making them better. This workshop applies to both film or digital cameras.

In this three-hour workshop, gallery owner Gayle Picken provides insights and answers your questions on the topics of pricing, packaging, portfolio presentation, artist statements, approaching galleries, finding shows, developing mailing lists, and good customer service tips. This is a great workshop for artists new to the market or for professional artists looking to take their career to the next level.
