About the DC Digital Photography Classes
First, an introduction.
My name is Sam D’Amico, and I’ve been a professional photographer, mostly in photojournalism, since the mid-80s.
And I’ve been teaching photography professionally since 1999.
My photography has been awarded in juried shows.
And my teaching has been recognized by being voted the Best Art Class by the readers of the Washington City Paper.
I enjoy teaching and watching the participants in my classes go from being frustrated photographers to photographers who know how to use their cameras thoughtfully and intentionally. Seeing them create pictures they are happy with is a rewarding aspect of my work.
Like most of us when we started, I suppose you’ve got a digital camera and are frustrated and disappointed with how your pictures come out, and you’ve been looking to take a DC digital photography class. In that case, I can help you with one of my group classes or private lessons.
Before you know it, you’ll learn how to work your camera and be a better photographer.
Why Take a DC Digital Photography Class?
If you’ve been wondering why you should take a class, the first answer that popped into my head is that you’ll be a better photographer.
Specifically, you’ll be a better photographer because you’ll learn to work your camera thoughtfully during the DC digital photography class. And you’ll also learn about photographic composition and develop a useful understanding of light and lighting.
Additionally, during a DC digital photography class, you’ll learn to see what you photograph in a way that will allow you to create the best photographs you can.
But beyond the class will help you be a better photographer and make thoughtful pictures; Washington, DC, has a depth and variety of subject matter that will keep your eye involved and your creativity flowing.
