What You'll Learn:

The focus of this photo tour is mainly location scouting, composition and lighting. This photo tour does not deep dive into basic camera settings. If you are interested in learning camera basics, F-Stops and Shutter Speeds 101 is for you. We will discuss creative angles, perspective and exposure. I'll point out examples of interesting lighting and how it can be used to capture unique images.

​

You can receive immediate feedback by having me review the images you shoot on your LCD. I will answer any equipment questions you may have. 

​

At the end of the photo tour, you will be invited to join Portland Photo Tour Forum. This is a Facebook group open only to those who have participated in a Portland Photo Tour and are interested in learning, inspiring and having fun with photography. Tag me and I will give you feedback on your images!
