In this in-person, interactive presentation, instructor Cher Cornett will help you improve your photography skills by taking you through the principles of composition, balance, light, color, and story. She will also share her secrets for finding the best shooting opportunities and locations.

By dissecting images from a variety of shoots, Cher will demonstrate how you can capture shots that are more interesting and visually beautiful–and that require less post-session processing.

No professional experience or training required–perfect for beginners and serious amateurs!
