Core Classes
Most of our classes are conducted online so you can attend from the comfort of your own home. We record all of these classes and keep them available for you to review for a minimum of 7 days. Classes are offered weekly and can all be attended by signing up online or in-person at any of our locations. They run approximately 1 hour in length, with 30 minutes of Q&A at the end.
As classes tend to present general overviews on a given subject matter, please be aware that not every function specific to your camera may be covered as a defining element of the class. We highly encourage you to have your camera handy, along with 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. We also host many of these seminars on our virtual platform if our instructor is not able to travel.
