We balance educational presentations, shooting, and feedback to make sure you're transition to manual is an exciting, creative experience helping you express your unique vision.

We begin the workshop at the Red Hook Bait & Tackle Pub, located in the trendy, waterfront Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook. From there (refreshments will be provided), we will go over all the basic controls of your cameras, teaching you how to use the manual controls. After some classroom instruction, we'll shoot a bit inside the wacky, taxidermy-filled pub, then reconvene to review and answer questions. Then we'll break for lunch (the newly re-opened Fairway grocery store has an outdoor dining area overlooking the waterfront), shoot outside along the water, and meet back at Bait & Tackle for a final session and a great selection of beer.

This photo workshop is designed to equip you with the basic skills necessary to begin shooting in manual mode, giving you full control of your camera and opening a door to a whole new creative experience guaranteed to take your photographer to a new level. Included in this package is a complimentary copy of our "Manual on Manual," with everything you need to know about making the creative leap to full manual control of your camera!After this one day seminar, you'll be shooting like a pro.
