Core Classes
At this time we have moved all of our classes to a virtual platform. Classes are offered weekly and can all be attended by signing up online. We save most of the recordings for the classes for one week after the class so that you can review the material again. They run approximately 1 hours in length with 30 minutes of Q&A at the end.
As classes tend to present general overviews on a given source of subject matter, please be aware that not every function specific to your particular camera may be included as a defining element of the class. We do highly encourage you to bring along your camera and any photos you've taken that you'd like to get feedback on from your instructor.
Seminars
Offered throughout the year on a variety of topics and disciplines, our seminars are typically presented by an all-star lineup of world-class industry influencers and expert instructors. These events tend to be conducted in an auditorium style setting and are typically held off-site at a variety of venues across the markets we’re located in.
