“The way you explain photography so the average "layperson" is able to understand and more importantly put into practice was perfect. I'm using everything I've learned, so thanks for all your help!”

FEEDBACK:
“I had two objectives going in to this workshop – learn how to better use my digital camera and get better at taking photos and not just snapshots. Both were achieved - and I even had some fun!”
– Ron S.
“The workshops at Vivid Print were just right for my skill level. I learned how to be comfortable with using my brand new DSLR camera outside of the 'auto' zone and I also learned some of the important factors in taking better photos, such as composition and effective use of light. The workshops were comfortable and the tone was just right: Michael is clearly well-prepared and an excellent teacher. I would happily take more workshops from Vivid Print in the future.”
– Jyoti M.
“I got so much from the photography workshop at Vivid – I finally learned how to fully and truly use my camera and to take beautiful, creative photos with an eye to composition. The lectures were interesting and covered all the necessary basics in a short amount of time, and the feedback was great.”
– Corinne M.
"I never knew my little camera had all the options and gadgets right at my finger tips or what they meant until taking the photo course. The course was great value for my money. Being able to be hands on and in a small class really allows you the opportunity to understand what you are doing."
– Tammy S.
