I’m interested in knowing if your lighting and exposure class an advance class or entry level?
Janet, the lighting and exposure class is for Entry Level folks who are just learning to understand light, light sources, lighting patterns, and how to meter light in a camera and with a hand held meter. I sure hope this helps answer your question. If not pls call me at 910 324 1646. Cheers!!
Hi, I am interested i taking the session 2 class on March 15th. I didn’t take the session 1 class and wanted to know if I would still be able to register for the Light and Exposure class.
Thank you.
I am sure that you would still benefit from the class even if you had not taken Class 1. Give us a call at 910 324 1646 if you would like to sign up.
