My beautiful Canon DSLR sat neglected for a couple of years - and then when I took it out of the camera bag I quickly realized that I needed a complete refresher. That actually happened a few times before I discovered Boston Photography Workshops. I had even tried getting back up to speed with an online Creative Live course specifically on my camera - but it wasn't enough. So I took a chance and set up a private session with Maria and I am so glad I did! The time we spent together exceeded my expectations and the trepidation I felt about "all those buttons" is gone. Maria was extremely well prepared, knowledgable and very responsive to my specific questions and needs. She had great visuals to describe all concepts and of course I had lots of hands on actually working with my camera.
Long story short - if you've been searching for a jump-start for your photography or if need a refresher you'll find it here! Thank you to Boston Photography Workshops and Maria - I'm looking forward to future...
Read moreTook a night photography class last night with Boston Photography Workshops. This is my second class and I am just as thrilled with this one as I was with the first. Everything from beginning to end is well planned and organized. Class started out with basic knowledge of a tripod, moved on to basics for camera settings for night time photography, then to actual shooting in several different locations. Lastly, a wrap up with some additional info and sharing of photos. Chris and his aid (sorry forgot your name) are very professional, friendly and helpful. All through the night, they gave each student individual attention and help. I left with a number of great photos, better knowledge of my camera, and a few "light bulb" moments about photography. A bit afraid to make this review in fear of loosing a spot at the next workshop, but BPW is such an amazing company and they truly deserve every single one of...
Read moreI attended the Digital Photography I Class on 8/2/20 with Sami. I was nervous going into Boston with everything going on with COVID but they far exceeded my expectations at how clean and professional everything was. We each had our own desks spaced far apart with water, hand sanitizer, and tissues, everyone wore their masks, and if we needed help she wore gloves to handle our camera. I went into the class knowing the information that was going to be taught (I have tried teaching myself via YouTube and the internet) but not completely comfortable. This class took me right over to feeling confident in using my camera. I appreciate the examples, and the way the class was taught (more conversational than sitting through a lecture). Sami took the time to learn my specific interests in photography, and gave me some resources and suggestions. It was a fun, informative class and I'm excited to take another...
