Classes

Photograph of one of Jon Van de Grift's photography students during class.When I’m not making photographs, I’m teaching the basic skills of shooting, editing, and publishing. All of my classes are taught with the same primary goal: to get your camera out of “auto” mode and put you in control. Once you understand the basic physics of light and how your camera captures light, we shift to composition. From there, I teach you how to develop an efficient workflow, so that you can spend more time enjoying the artistic process of photography, and spend less time dealing with technical issues. A typical class is 1-2 days in length with both an outdoor and studio component.  All students learn on their own digital cameras, and both point-and-shoot and DSLRs are welcome. Training DSLRs and lenses are available to students who are considering upgrading.
I usually offer three or four classes per year, and usually in the second half of the year. All classes are taught in the photogenic foothills of Boulder, Colorado. Class size is always limited to less than a dozen students to maximize instructor-student interaction. Whether you are just starting out in photography, or you’re an advanced amateur who wants to learn some new tricks, each class has something that will help make you a better (and happier!) photographer. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions:
