We are SO excited to announce round 5 of the Jill Gum Photography: Mastering Manual to Tell Your Story workshop!

These workshops come from a heart of wanting to show others that there are some small things they can do with their cameras to make huge changes in their images.  I have a desire to see people using their cameras in a way that creates beautiful memories that touch their hearts and bring back the full emotions of a moment years later.   So many people buy nice DSLR cameras, but never gain enough control over what they are doing in their camera or what they are photographing to really make great use of it.  The pictures they are taking with that nice camera don’t quite match up to what they see in real life.  If this resonates with you- if you are a mother wanting to take better pictures of your kids that really capture them as they are or at special events, or an aunt wanting pictures that fully tell the story of her nephew at age 3, or a person who has a camera and really wants to take a meaningful record of their life to remember, this workshop is for you!

What you will learn:

How to use your camera (and what in the world all those buttons are for!) 🙂

Shooting in full manual mode

Choosing the right settings in various indoor and outdoor lighting situations

How to use shutter speed, aperture, and ISO

Introduction to white balance

How to focus

Ideal Camera settings

Introduction to style

This workshop will include more than two hours of learning followed by lots of practice time photographing in different lighting scenarios to practice our new techniques, during which I will spend time with each attendee to go over their pictures.  After we photograph, we will head in to take a quick peek at those images to discuss what we have learned and the changes that have been made, and what the next steps are when the workshop is over to make sure you have the tools to continue improving.

All you need is yourself, a dSLR camera, a lens, and a desire to learn.  Those with a digital camera only would definitely still benefit and are welcome (you just may not be able to see all of the growth due to limitations of digital cameras).

Here are just a couple reviews from past workshops:

“Before taking Jill’s workshop, I was overwhelmed with trying to understand how to shoot manually. Now, I am excited to get out and take more photos! Not only has my quality of photography increased, but also my confidence!” -Anna

“Jill’s workshop really inspired me to dive into my passion of photography. I learned a lot of techniques and tips on using my camera and editing my photos, and the practice photo shoot was extremely helpful (and fun!)- Jill was so helpful and enthusiastic throughout the entire workshop, which made the experience even more amazing!” -Katie

“The workshop completely changed the way I look at my camera! I can actually take it off automatic mode and know what I am doing. Jill was so willing to help me with any problems I was having and set up great situations for us to practice our newly learned skills” -Kelsi

Registration will continue, with the early bird special ending a week from today–you don’t want to miss the early bird special!!!  Email me at jill@jillgumphotography.com if you have any questions!!
