Photography classes for kids • Frederick, MD photographer
Spots are opening up in February for my private photography classes for kids! This class is offered to kids 10+ with a camera they can set in manual mode. Ideally this would be a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Through private lessons, I can meet each student at their level of understanding & work to learn their camera specifically. Lessons are held in my home studio and we’ll adhere to current masking and social distance guidelines.
Beginner students are required to start with 4 lessons. These lessons cover how a camera works, understanding how to use the buttons and dials on their particular camera, as well as the exposure triangle. Private photography lessons for kids are $25 for 45 minutes of instruction. The 4 first lessons are discounted by 20% when purchased at once.
The first 4 lessons cover the following –
- Understanding how a camera works and becoming familiar with using it
- Learning the exposure triangle (shutter speed, aperture, and ISO)
- Basic introductions to light and composition
- Toggling focus if ready
Later lessons can cover –
- Color balance and light modifiers
- Understanding depth of field
- Understanding the tools in your camera such as the light meter, metering modes, and the histogram
- A deeper understanding of light
- Soft light
- Harsh light
- Split light
- Backlighting
- Composition activities
- Image review and critique
- Older students can begin to receive editing instruction
Prerequisites –
- Kids and teens ages 10+
- Must have a camera that can be used in manual mode
- A genuine love of photography 🙂
If you’re not sure you’re ready for private lessons, I also offer free photography lessons for kids on my youtube channel. Check some of these lessons out to get a sense of my teaching style. New video releases are announced on Facebook and Instagram.
Click the button below to schedule you first four lessons. Once you select your date & time, we will run on that schedule for 4 consecutive weeks. Your invoice for 4 classes will reflect the discounted rate. If bad weather or conflicts arise, we’ll reschedule for a time that works for us both!
