Stepping outside of the classroom, Photography Team members receive real-time coaching on guided photo shoots as they learn event photography hands-on helping to photograph the Conference! We will focus on gaining practical experience as we photograph the speakers, families, and Conference activities, learning the event photography workflow from beginning to end with your own equipment, laptop, and photo editing software. Through classroom instruction, self-guided assignments, and professional photo critique, you will learn how to effectively capture the moment, create consistently bright and sharp images in difficult lighting situations, and expedite the post-processing workflow to meet time-sensitive deadlines. It doesn’t get more hands on than this! Hone skills in photography etiquette, learn the balance between boldness and discretion, and develop a biblical perspective on the art of photography.
