I loved the beginner-one class. It was exactly what I needed in order to make sense of my camera and bring my visions to life. The class outing I attended put the class work into practice. I cant wait for beginner-two class. Im definitely all in!
I bought my first DSLR camera for the class Beginner One class and have no photography experience prior. The class was organized perfectly to get me familiar with the basic functions of the camera and how to improve the quality of my photos. The class material is a great reference I plan to keep going back to as I learn and practice more. The class outing was the perfect way to ask additional questions and get immediate feedback on my areas to improve. Braddley really makes the material easy to understand and the class is well organized. He is willing to answer all questions and helped me feel much more confident as I continue to learn about and practice with photography! Cant wait to take the Beginner Two class!
Loved the class! Braddleys enthusiasm was infectious and his passion for photography is immediately evident. The class material he provides is very informative. I will be taking class with him again in the future!
This was an excellent class. Brad was a great teacher. I will definitely take the next class that is offered. I learned more In this class then I expected and my photos are better.
Loved the class, the workbook really helped me in understanding things I just couldnt grasp on my own. The class is small enough so that if needed any 1-on-1 the instructor would be there to help. Braddley is just super helpful all together, and the biggest perk was that I can retake the class again at no cost if I need a refresher. At some point I will be signing up for the more advanced class! Thanks Braddley ❤️
Braddley is truly a wonderful instructor. His teaching is clear, engaging, and easy to follow, and the outing really helped tie everything I learned in this class together. It was fascinating to see the master at work as well, I feel very inspired after this course and look forward to continuing my photography journey!
Shutterbug training provided outstanding tailored training to meet my photography, videography needs.
Braddley breaks down the basics & is super helpful at explaining things until you understand them. Very laid back, friendly teaching atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this class!
This training is very useful for Photography Enthusiasts.They have classes for all level learners.I took a beginner class and it really helped me overcome my struggles of handling the basic controls of camera.This training helped to get closer to my gear and be ready to explore the field of photography more. They make few theoretical classes and a final outing class to explore practically of what we have learnt in the classes.The outing was more fun to tryout. The instructor is very friendly and helpful.Their class sizes are pretty small so we can get personal attention from the instructor which makes it more worthier.They have advanced classes for editing and post production too.
I have taken several classes at Shutterbug. Braddley is very knowledgeable with photography so he teaches the subject very well. You will learn much more about photography than you ever knew possible. His classes keep you engaged and wanting to continue learning more. He makes learning how to use your camera fun. I highly recommend Shutterbug.
Bradley is AWESOME! Not only is his class easy to follow, but hes great at explaining and answering specific questions. He also lets you take the class twice if you dont get it the first time (which I did...several months later.) Cant recommend him enough! Great for total beginners and those who already know their way around a bit.
Amazing class with an amazing instructor. It’s such a great feeling knowing how to properly work my camera now and my pictures have definitely improved because of it. So grateful for this class.. I highly recommend Braddley to anyone wanting to know more about photography! So helpful and patient. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience
I recently took beginner one. I loved every second! Braddley made explanations easy to understand and always so willing to answer questions. I appreciate how much he cares that everyone enjoys photography. I hope to continue with more courses soon! I highly recommend the class and the outings!!!
This class is one of the best classes that I have ever attended. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects of photography and is a very good teacher. Braddley goes above and beyond for his students! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
This class was amazing! I went in knowing absolutely nothing about photography or how to use my camera and by the end of class I had a better understanding of both. Braddley is extremely knowledgeable about photography and knows how to present it in a way that is easy to understand. He is very patient and takes the time to work with each individual student so that each person understands exactly what he is teaching. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about photography and how to use your camera.
This was my first photography class ever and I found it to be incredible. In Beginner 1 class, I learnt a lot of theory and technicalities involved in photography in a very easy to understand way. Later on, in the outdoor sessions, I used all of the above and got to practice it in very interactive way. I highly recommend this to anyone who would like to learn photography not only as a skill but also as an art!
I was very pleased with this class (Photography One). Braddley is knowledgeable and has an excellent teaching style that combines easy to understand written materials along with demonstrations in class using your own camera. He encourages questions and is willing to spend the time necessary to insure that each member of the class understands the material. He also works hard to take the mystique out of the process of learning to use your camera. I have already signed up for the Lightroom class and also plan to attend Photography Two.
Braddley is so awesome! He starts from the very beginning and breaks down photography basics to the very core. Our class had a variety of skill levels and he taught to everyone. He makes each lesson easy to understand and applicable to real-world applications. You can tell he has a passion for the craft and simply wants to spread that to anyone who is interested! I miss the class now that its over!!
Braddley is a great instructor! He not only does well teaching in a class room setting, giving attention to each student regarding their questions, but he also is wonderful with one on one training. I took the Beginner One class and then scheduled one on one training to focus on specific topics. I highly recommend Shutterbug Training!
I cant say enough about my very positive experience with Shutterbug! I highly recommend it to anyone. Braddley is a stand up guy and he takes the time, and breaks down the language of photography that anyone will be able to understand. Im looking forward to taking the second class in the new year!!
Loved this class! The information presented was easy to comprehend and apply. Atmosphere in class was fun and relaxed. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to do more than just point and shoot with their camera!
My friend and I did several hours of personal instruction this past weekend to begin learning the basics of photography and our cameras. Braddley was informative and patient. We both walked away with a much better understanding of what is needed to take a good photo. We will definitely return for additional instruction. This is the best thing I have done for myself since having my child.
I took beginner 1 class from shutter bug. I have always been interested in photography but never really understood how camera works. Course is built for people to understand technical aspects of photography. Brad gave us exercises and material to follow. I enjoyed being in this class and I am planning to take beginner II class soon.
Ive had my camera for over a year and self taught some things. That said, until taking this class I had no idea how little I actually knew. This was perfect for any beginners or wanting to review anything. The instructors passion for teaching is evident (plan on staying late at every class!). He is very clear and dedicated to making sure you understand the material. The outing was the most helpful and really brought everything home. Looking forward to where else the instructor will take this(these) class(es)!
Shutterbug Training with Braddley was amazing. I was so impressed with the class series and now feel confident with the features of my camera. I would highly recommend anyone to take the class if you enjoy taking pictures and want to get better. The format and outing proved very helpful in capturing moments in time and showcasing aspects of my life. I only wish I would have signed up 10 years ago....Will be taking the next class in the fall.
This is a much Belated 5 STAR rating for his classes! I would give it a 10 STAR rating if possible! Braddley is the best! He is committed to sharing his passion for photography with all of his students! He encourages all of his students, no matter their skill level!. He offers photo outings after his class series to practice photography principles that he instructs. Braddley is always available for any questions and is always engaging. Lastly, he allows his students to take classes over at No Cost! I have done that before and I may do it again! Dont hesitate to sign up, you wont regret it.
This was such a wonderful experience! My friend and I booked a private lesson and we really appreciated the one on one coaching with our cameras. Braddley does a wonderful job explaining everything and you can tell he genuinely cares that you understand and retain the information he shares with you. We cant wait to book another lesson and join him on the free photography walks he hosts for his students around Columbus.
Braddley is so friendly and helpful. He is more of a story teller than an instructor. The content is easy to digest and he’s always quick to respond with any follow ups even long after the class is over. Can’t recommend these classes enough!
I would highly recommend The Beginner Photography class...hands down the best course Ive taken. I feel much more comfortable behind my camera than before taking this class. I love that with the beginner photography class, he has the “Until It Clicks” Guarantee. You can come back anytime for a refresher course...how nice is that! Great instructor and hes very knowledgeable!
I have always been interested in Photography and I have always been a self learner. I thought I can learn photography watching YouTube videos, reading books etc!! Boy was I wrong.... Like with any art, it is very important to have a mentor help you take those first steps that form the foundation you can build upon. This is what Bradley did for me in the beginner class I took at Shutterbug Training. His expertise and years of experience in photography reflects in the classes as well as the material. He understands what the beginner is looking for and makes sure we understand the concepts well by giving examples and taking pictures during the classes. The outing adds a lot of value since it allows practicing the concepts we learn during the classes - Hands on experience. Recommend Shutterbug training to all the budding photographers out there!!
I took this class recently and it was excellent. I learned so much about my camera and even more about how to control light when taking a photo. I more than highly recommend Shutterbug Training.
Had a great experience with Brad and my classmates. Ive always wanted to do photography, just never did until now. Thanks to this class I feel much more confident and I am growing more and more. Great class!!!!!
I just moved here from Texas where I had previously taken 2 series of photography classes. Braddleys class was my third photography class and my final attempt to try and understand my camera. I was shocked when I left his classes fully understanding what he was teaching. He has a way of explaining things that really clicked for me. He is also witty and very entertaining. I would HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone and everyone. In fact, I have recommended it to all my friends.
Braddley made it so easy to give up auto mode! When I took his class, I was a couple weeks into trying to teach myself how to shoot manually. It didn’t start to click until the Shutterbug training. I was more confident after just one class and even more so once I finished the course! Now that the holidays are here, I feel comfortable and confident taking photos at family gatherings and also for my own creative expression. I look forward to being able to take the next available course when my schedule allows for it!! Thanks Shutterbug :)
This class has been very educational. I learned something new every night and am so excited to see the results! Everything from how to properly store your photos, to what every button and feature is on your camera is covered. Its all broken down to easily understandable segments. I recommend this class to everyone I meet and to anyone who is looking to improve on taking better photos. I have seen a great improvement in the quality of my work. You will not be disappointed.
This class was great fun! The instructor is knowledgeable and takes the time needed to answer questions. When you finish the classes you will know the settings on your camera and how to use them. I feel like it was well worth the money and would recommend the classes.
This was a long time goal of mine - to really learn how to use all of the functions and settings of my camera to make it do what I want (I am not an auto setting kind of person!). This class broke everything down into bits of information that completely made sense, and the knowledge I gained made me more excited than ever to take photos. I highly recommend Shutterbug training!
This class is exceptional and worth the money. I have taken snapshots for years and never been overly pleased with the outcome. They werent bad but they werent meaningful years down the line. I wanted to learn about my camera and get an idea of how to take pictures that would stand the test of time. This class did all of that and more. Braddley is an excellent teacher, explaining things both verbally and with visuals. I was never embarrassed to ask a question and the field trip was a great hands on experience. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn to take a picture that is a little more creative than a simple snapshot.
I have been looking for a class for years and I found this class it is a hour and 45 mins drive for me. Its well worth any amount of time its amazing. its a fun well educated class. I have learned so much from this class. Its friendly and that is what makes it the best to learn. The outing are just beautiful I just love going its a dream of mine that has come true thank you Brad and Shutterbug
I took the Beginner Photo One class, and I was not disappointed! I already had experience with photography back with film, so I didnt want this to be an intro class. It wasnt - I learned so much in just the first class about settings on my camera and the real relationship between aperture, ISO and shutter speed, all of which I just knew the definitions of but didnt know how to actually use them together. It really helped me be able to use my DSLR camera instead of just using auto mode.Its also the best value in Columbus. 4 classes for 225, 2-2.5 hours long each, and then you can attend free outings the rest of the year to practice (if you took the course). Class always started on time and provided the matierals and even homework practices if you wanted!
The class was great and Bradley is very knowledgeable. I etraveled over 2 hours (from Stow) to get to the class each week- glad to say it was worth the trip! I have been reading anything photography oriented since I bought my camera but it never clicked. Now I feel I can go back to that same material and actually understand it. Highly recommend the class!
I have taken pictures for a number of years. In this day and age of auto everything, it was great having someone to show me the ropes on how to get back to creating photos by controlling the camera.Class 1 was excellent and very helpful in educating me how to use ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, etc. I am looking forward to putting the lessons to work as I as take more photos.Well worth the time and price.
I had no idea what to expect when taking a photography class. Braddley made it interesting and enjoyable. He is eager to help you to not only understand, but develop your own style. Braddley is devoted to his students and their interest in photography. Don’t make the mistake of enrolling in a “stuffy”, rigid class, check out Shutterbug for a relaxed, interactive learning experience.
The beginners class was incredible. I believe anyone who is interested in photography should take it. You learn so much detail about aperture, iso, lighting, shutterspeed, and so much more... the instructor is incredible and very attentive!
What a great experience to be able to take a photography class and learn all the tricks and techniques to take better quality pictures, but to take a class with someone that truly has a passion for photography made the class even more worth-while and an enjoyable experience. Bradley was very down to earth and kept reminding me that everything would make sense in the end, and it really does. He takes his time to make sure you really understand what he is teaching. He has even emailed me afterwards to see if I had any questions and recommend some equipment that he thought would complement my camera. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Shutterbug Photography Training!
I SO enjoyed this class! I had my camera a year, watched so many youtube videos, read blogs, etc and never quite got it, needless to say I was getting ok photos even in Auto mode. This program is set up for you to succeed! You WILL get out of Auto mode and learn why and how the functions of you particular camera operate and effect one another! Braddley is very professional, knowledgeable on various cameras, so down to earth, and gets on your level. The outings are a great place to practice what you have learned, ask questions, and get help/criticism as needed! Thank you so much for your help! Looking forward to more classes and outings! Def recommend!
I recently purchased a DSLR camera and quickly realized I had no idea how to use it. The user’s manual explained how to use its settings, but not why and when to use them. I enrolled in Beginner Photography ONE because of the great reviews it’s received. The reviews are accurate! Braddey is an energetic instructor and excellent communicator. His classes are well organized, easily understood and well-paced. I’ve continued with Beginner Photography TWO and now have an enjoyable new hobby. If you want to get out of auto mode and take better pictures, I encourage you to consider these classes.
Youll like the instructor and the set-up of the classroom; hes personable, funny, and of course, a good photographer himself. Dont miss the last class outing as it puts everything together on an hands-on learning opportunity to apply techniques that were covered in class. I will be signing up for more classes with this instructor you can tell he has a passion for what he does.
I had just purchased a camera about a week or so and found this class online by googling and was not disappointed.Bradley is a wonderful teacher, casual, and very laid back. He made the material fun and easy to learn. I now have a pretty good understanding of how to operate my camera and feel pretty confident of taking pictures. There is an outing at the end and that wasnt as helpful for me personally as it was more talking than practice and on a busy Saturday it was hard to hear and practice as a group. Would recommend Inniswoods or somewhere that is free and more of an open space. Sign up for the class! You wont be disappointed.
I drove from Lancaster to Dublin for these classes and it was worth it! I learned a lot of basic and necessary tools to launch from. A lot of material was presented. Helpful resources and tips were shared. I highly recommend this class for the beginning photographer with any type of camera. The instructor is very knowledgeable. If you invest the time into getting to know your camera, you wont be disappointed.
The beginner photography class was a great introduction to using your camera outside of auto mode. I had tried to teach myself, and it was so much easier and made sense with Braddleys excellent instruction. I now feel confident using my camera in a variety of modes, controlling aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, and have some good tips on composition. Highly recommend!
Braddley is very passionate about photography and the class I took was a great first step to learn the basics and more. The trip to the Franklin Conservatory was a perfect opportunity to practice what we learned.
I learned a lot and feel much more comfortable with my camera. The content was presented in a way that makes it easy to comprehend and Braddley always did it with great energy! Excited to go back for class 2 next week.
A very enjoyable beginner course on DSLR technical aspects and tips. Instructor is super personable and approachable, and genuinely wants to make sure you understand whats being taught. This is a great value, and Im looking forward to future classes!
I recently finished Beginner One. Beginner One is a great class not only for beginners in photography, but to individuals like myself who already know a little bit about how to use a camera. You will definitely learn the basics from Braddley in a very enjoyable and relaxing class. But more importantly, you will also pick-up a lot of Braddleys life experiences that will help you develop and improve your personal approach to the craft of photography.For the entrance price, you get four weekly two-hour (approximately) classes, unlimited help from Braddley, and unlimited outings, which are by themselves classes that will provide more opportunity for growing your hobby/craft.Highly recommended for anyone who is starting from scratch or someone who wants to take their hobby to the next level. I cannot wait for Beginner Two.
Im a visual learner, which is why I loved the Beginner Photography 101 class. Ive had my camera for years, but in just a few weeks, I knew it better than I ever had. Manuals and online reading can only do so much for me. It took the hands-on learning to really show me the real potential of my camera.
Bradleys Class in beginning Photography was the best decision I ever made!! I loved the week by week style of it....taking what I learned out and practicing then coming back and adding to it each week. He shares GREAT tips that really help get the whole picture!! We also had a very fun group of people in our class who will continue to work together....if you want a solid start...this is the place to go!!!
The instructor is really good and patient in explaining things and the outing was great. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for photography classes
Overall a great class to learn basics of photography. The instructor takes care to make sure all key points are highlighted and teaches in a relaxed style that is easy to understand. Its a fun class and would recommend it.
I really enjoyed learning all the technical aspects of the camera and how to properly use them in any situation. It was fun to learn from someone who is clearly very passionate about photography, but also enjoys teaching others in an enjoyable and accessible way. I now find myself evaluating my lighting situation wherever I go!
The class was wonderful. Our instructor was very knowledgeable and detailed. He was open to questions and made us feel very comfortable. I have learned a lot of practical information during the class and look forward to applying it in the future. I definitely recommend Shutterbug Photography Training for anyone who is interested in learning their camera and how to shoot photos.
I just finished Beginner 1 class and it was worth every penny. Ive taken an embarrassing amount of beginner classes, and each one gave me some learnings, but Shutterbug Training excels in actually educating you. Not only did I manage to breakthrough the tech-talk, I am using the lessons in reality. Why did this happen you may ask?Previous instructors had plenty of expertise, but couldnt impart their knowledge to a student. Knowing and instructing are two separate skills. Braddley did both very well. Ill be signing up for more classes! In the meantime, Ill do my part: Practice. Practice. Practice. Thank you!
I went through the one-on-one photography session and it was perfect. I knew a little bit from reading and practicing, but was able to really understand after a short session. Beginners to more advanced could benefit from this instruction. Immediately following my class, I was able to use what I learned and got great results.
Ive been reading articles, watching You Tube and attempting to digest material presented in several Udemy online classes, but none of them were able to get me to the A-Ha! moment I experienced with this class.Braddley is an excellent instructor and has a real gift for breaking down the technical stuff into easy-to-understand concepts. Already enrolled in Beginner Two!
I am usually skeptical when it comes to introductory classes (they often cover how to turn something on and how to select something from a menu, very, very basic) but this class is far from that. The instructor gets into the details far beyond the very basics. It was a great experience and the instructor genuinely cares that you understand and are able to apply what he is teaching. I highly recommend this to anyone who has purchased a DSLR camera and is just using the auto/programmed functions. This class will take away all of the frustration away and let you get the pictures you really want.
I just finished taking my first photography class with Shutterbug. It was exactly what I was looking for. I bought my first dsrl last fall and I finally decided I needed to learn how to use it the right way. The pace of the class was just right for a beginner. And the outing really helped bring it all home. All questions are welcome and I love that if I have a question down the road I can reach out via email or go back and take the classes again. Free of charge. Once you join the club your in for life!
I recently attended the photography classes with Shutterbug Photography and was surprised at how great they were. The materials that we were provided with, the 1-on-1 attention, and most importantly, the passion with which the information was given was so much more than I expected. I learned more in 6 hours than I have in 6 years. I would recommend this class to any beginning photographer.
What an eye opener!!!!! I took this class to finally really learn how to use my camera that Ive had for three years. Bradley did such a great job breaking down every button and its purpose--and how they work together-- that I am already taking better pictures than I ever have! This class was invaluable to me! I look forward to the Beginner 2 class and the upcoming Lightroom class! Thank you Bradley for being such a relatable teacher and making me an official Shutterbug!P.S. I love my new 50/1.4 lens!
This was a really great class. I signed up to really learn how to use my camera, and thats what this class did. You do get what you put in, so make sure you are doing the exercises he gives you. Definitely worth the money!
As the owner of Camtronics Camera Repair in Grandview, we are often asked for recommendations regarding camera and photography instruction. Without hesitation, we always direct them to Shutterbug Training. They are down to earth and truly care about their students. You wont be disappointed.
This was the refresher course I needed. Im a hands on learner so it was great to be able to ask questions as the class went and Braddley always had time after class for those additional questions that you may of had that didnt pertain to that particular class. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS to anyone looking to get more out of their camera!!
I have always had an interest in photography and have owned a DSLR camera for years, but had no idea how to take picture other than on Auto. I just finished the Beginner One class and Braddley is fantastic! I finally know not only what all the settings mean, but how to use them to take great pictures. Braddley makes the class fun, the material is presented in a way that is understandable and he is so helpful! His enthusiasm for photography is infectious, he has made me very excited about taking pictures and practicing. I cant wait for he Beginner Two class! Thank you Braddley for a great class!
I thoroughly enjoyed this class! I received a DSLR camera for Christmas and was feeling a little overwhelmed trying to learn everything on my own. Braddley did a wonderful job making sense of it all. He was very engaging and helpful. The trip to the Franklin Park Conservatory was a fantastic way to put all of our new skills into practice. I highly recommend this class! You wont regret it!
Thanks so much for a wonderful one on one lesson…. it was so nice to get a refresher on the basics and then to learn more about the settings I didn’t know how to use! Why didn’t I call you years ago? Thank you!
If you are looking for a class to learn the full potential of your camera, look no further! The beginner photography class introduces you to digital photography from the basics of composition to the importance of the exposure triangle. Each week Braddley, takes a subject that could be complicated and presents the material in a way that everyone understands. He is an excellent teacher with a great deal of knowledge and encourages questions. The best part of the class is the field trip to Franklin Park Conservatory with Braddley. At the class outing, I had an Aha moment when everything clicked...I went from learning how to turn on my camera before the first week of class to taking images I was proud of after the outing.
I loved it! I will get every possible class at shutterbug Photography Training. If you are looking for a really good instructional beginning class, and more this is the place.
This class is a must if you want to really maximize the performance of your camera. The instruction and handouts were excellent and I really learned a lot. I am looking forward to taking future classes. Well worth the money $$.
My 13 year old daughter and I participated in the Beginner One class. I can’t say enough good things about the class - and about Braddley. The content was just the right amount for a beginner. The content is well organized. And Braddley is an excellent teacher. My daughter grew from having virtually no knowledge of how to operate a DSLR to shooting in manual. The class wrapped up with a great outing where she was able to take some amazing photographs. Highly recommend!
I thought I knew about photography but I was mistaken. I really new very little and trying to read up on it was of no avail. But with Braddleys information and class delivery he made it make more sense. I feel now that I can take good pictures and know what to set for the more difficult shots. I look forward to my upcoming trip to Alaska and see what I can produce. It was a very good class.Dick Woods
The courses were very well organized and within a month, I learned so much more about how to use my nice camera. I have officially graduated off the Auto setting! Braddley was a very knowledgeable and helpful instructor, and hes pretty funny :) Class was always interesting. I especially enjoyed the field trip to Franklin Park Conservatory. I would recommend the course to anyone looking to learn how to use their camera, especially for everyday use such as photographing kids, sports, portraits, landscapes.
I took Photography ONE and am almost done with Photography TWO and have learned SO MUCH from Braddley! Hes extremely knowledgeable and explains the complexities of the camera and photography in general in a simple and easy to digest way. Echoing all the other reviews raving about their experience, I have to say, signing up for these classes was the best thing I could have done for my photography skills! Thanks for getting me off Auto, Braddley!
I highly recommend ShutterBug Training for anyone who has an interest in learning the complexities of their camera and taking better photos. Braddley is an experienced and patient photographer and teacher and his passion for photography is contagious. The classroom meetings are in depth and informative and the outings help tie everything together for the hands on experiences that you need to improve your photography skills. Five stars and two thumbs up for ShutterBug Training and Braddley Addams!
I loved this class and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about photography. Braddley is a great teacher and has lots of experience. The class size was small and conductive of learning. I felt like I learned a lot about photography and will continue to use this knowledge to improve my skill set.
Previous to taking this class I had taken another class somewhere else. I learned SO much more in Braddleys class than I ever did in the other one. I took the Beginner One class, and I was especially thankful for all the information Braddley shared about our cameras. He took the time to help us become familiar with buttons, settings and many other things that our cameras are capable of! I honestly feel like I learned a ton of information, but presented in a way that didnt overwhelm me. Braddley made sure that every question was answered, and that each one of us got individual attention.The outing at the culmination of the class was great. Once again, Braddley gave us individual attention and showed us techniques to help us improve our photography skills. There were only five of us in the group, and Braddley stayed with us the entire time. In addition to overseeing our practice on the skills we learned, he also showed us a couple of pretty unique photo tips.I plan on taking the Beginner Two class and am looking forward to another wonderful experience. Cant say enough about how valuable this class has been for my confidence, and hopefully for my future photos!! Thank you for a great experience, Braddley.
This class was invaluable in learning my DSLR. Anyone who takes this class series will not be disappointed! Braddley likes to use lots analogies to help drill the info into your brain and it works! 😊 Hes committed to making sure you understand everything, even if you need a little extra help. Id recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about their camera and photography!
I have taken several other photography classes. All explaining the functions of the camera and modes. Instead of just the how, Braddley explains the why. This class definitely made it all come together. The group outing was the icing on the cake. Instead of critiquing the photos taken, we were taken thru a series of exercises to put into practice the lessons learned in class. Id highly recommend the class and cant wait for the next one to start.
The beginner class is great! I had just bought a dslr camera and trying to learn it on mine own was very challenging. I found this class online and Im so glad I decided to take it. Braddley is a great instructor and very approachable if you have any questions or need help with your camera. He also allows you to take the course again at any time if you need to!
This was a great course. I have been taking pictures for many many years and this course really filled in many of my knowledge gaps. Clear explanations of difficult concepts, comprehensive powerpoint notes and plenty of time to ask questions. Wish I would have taken this course years ago!
What a great class! Over the years I have tried to educate myself on how to use my camera on something other than automatic but would quickly become overwhelmed. But Braddley did such a great job making it easy to understand that I FINALLY get it! The were lots of images used to show how different setting impact the end result and that was great for a visual learner like me. And he always takes the time to answer questions, even if class goes a little over time. Anyone who wants to get the most out of their camera should take this class. I am amazed at how much I learned in just four weeks.
Braddley is an amazing photographer and instructor. He is fun and very knowledgeable. I learned a great deal about what photography really means, I came to understand how to take great photos and even learned about my own equipment. Believe me, it is much better than any tutorial or online class, so I totally encourage you to take his classes. It is so worthwhile!
I really enjoyed this course. Camera basics can be a pretty dry subject, but Bradd was able to present each concept in a clear and concise manner, providing practical examples to make them easy to understand. Bradd truly enjoys working with his students, and does whatever it takes to make sure theyre getting the most out of his classes. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in learning the basics of photography in a fun and relaxed setting, regardless of skill level.
Very thorough class and very well presented by the instructor. Also, the workbooks that he gives each week serve as a great reference.
I went from knowing very little about taking a great photo to feeling very comfortable taking pictures. Great class, great instructor.
A great class. Plenty of opportunity for questions and clarification. Excellent for beginners or those needing refreshed.
I have taken both the beginner class and the Lightroom editing class and I can not recommend them enough! Braddley makes understanding photography fun and interesting.Braddley also makes everyone feel welcome to reach out inbetween classes to get advice and guidance on your camera which I think makes these courses worth every single cent!If you’re on the fence- do it! You won’t regret it and you’ll honestly learn so much in the 4 weeks. I walked away from the first course with the confidence and knowledge to successfully operate my camera and take some great photos.Can’t wait until November to start the next lot of classes!
I started the class with very little knowledge about my DSLR camera after having it for a couple years. This class will teach you about all the settings on your camera and how to use them in addition to general photography best practices. The pace of each class was neither slow or overwhelming. This class exceeded my expectations and I look forward to future classes offered by Shutterbug.
Braddley is very invested in making sure our class understands what he is teaching us as well as making it fun too. I have owned my camera for almost 10 years and never had the courage to take it off the automatic settings. I have learned more in my first two sessions than I had from reading blogs on the Internet. I learn best in a classroom and I am looking forward to taking Shutterbugs second photography course and the Lightroom course as well!
I would highly recommend this class to anyone whether you are a beginner or have experience with photography !!! Bradley has such a GREAT way of explaining everything !!! I drove 2 and a half hours to the classes and it was WELL worth it !!! i would do it all over again !!! The outing was a wonderful experience you not only get to sit through the classes but you get to try out taking photo shoots with bradly !! it was AWS !!!!
I really enjoyed this class and the instructor is very knowledgeable and very patient. He will stay after class to answer any questions. I will definitely recommend him to anybody who wants to take any photography class.
