Students will go over the fundamentals of photography: shooting in manual mode, understanding light and composition, and even going on a photo walk downtown. After a provided lunch, participants will then spend the afternoon learning the basics of Photoshop editing. Students will have a week to take photos and return finished images to Spiva to be juried and displayed in the Reserve Gallery. Images will be for sale and artists will retain 70% commission from work sold. There will be an artist reception and awards ceremony on March 15th. Spiva will have point-and-shoot cameras available for students and a few DSLR cameras available for loan, but we encourage each student to find a DSLR camera to use for the class.
About Andy:
“My life has always been about art and a passion to create something meaningful. After several years as a pencil artist and painter it wasn’t till my kids started growing up too fast for me that I picked up a camera and found a medium I was supposed to be using this whole time. I felt right at home creating with a camera and a new pursuit was born!
I fell in love with capturing people and their most treasured moments in life. It took a couple years of being a side hustle to grow it into what you see today and I couldn’t be happier than to be on this journey.
I love to travel around the country and meet new people as my photography allows me to, and I’m always looking to capture what is unique to each individual or couple I work with, while keeping my images unique, creative & fresh!”
