What to Do After Your Photography Class

Thank you for your interest in a Sam D’Amico photography class.

After a class is over,  one  of  the questions I’m often  asked is  “what should I do next?”

Here are a few tips.

1. Immediately start practicing  what you’ve  recently learned to keep it fresh in your mind.
2. Keep thinking in terms of photography.
   1. Whether you have a camera with you or not.
      1. Pay attention to what you are seeing.
      2. Imagine (visualize)  the photograph that  you’d like  to make.
         1. Imagine what aperture, shutter  speed, lens focal length, ISO, white balance  etc, you’d  use  to create  the photograph that you visualize.
         2. If you have  your camera, make the picture, then try to imagine different variations  of the photograph that  you just  made. Keep making variations until you’re  variation-ed out! You could do this visualization exercise without a camera  too!
            1. Imagine what would happen if  you used  a different exposure  settings, or focal length, or  changed  your position in relation to your subject?
   2. When looking at  photographs try analyze how the photographer created the  picture  in terms of  the criteria mentioned in 2.1.
3. Take another class to build  upon your  skills  or to explore an area  of interest. If you found my approach to photography  instruction helpful then I hope you’ll work with me again. If you’re looking to learn something that I’m not qualified to teach, I’ll do my  best  to point  you in the right direction.
4. Get on my  e-mail list. You’ll receive tips  on how to improve your photography and discounts on classes.
5. Read/subscribe to my blog. More tips  on photography and posts on photography  related  topics.
