Bring your own camera and a project or two, and learn the basics of lighting, depth of field, styling and common fiber- photography problems like capturing true color, capturing stitch definition and photographing lace. We will also learn how to make a light box at home, cheap! No prior knowledge of photography necessary. The emphasis will be getting the best possible shots using your camera.
