The basic lighting segment of the class will be taught by Xavier De La Paz. The instructor for the advanced outdoor segment is professional photographer Ross Benton. Ross has a unique style and ability to beautifully capture his subjects with a winning combination of traditional posing and dramatic lighting with a photojournalistic flair.

The only prerequisite for the class is a working knowledge of your camera and an understanding of how to set shutter speed and aperture.
