We had our second Photography Class on Saturday, 07/07/07. For this class, we had 2 students. Each one brought their cameras and a couple of jewelry pieces for which they’ve had problems getting good pictures.

We had a really fun time. We started off with a presentation. I talked about theory and gave them basic information they needed in order to understand close up photography. The presentation had lots of images - both good technique and bad.

Following the presentation, we played with the cameras. I brought some jewelry, but we used the pieces the students brought. I took pictures with my camera and the students took pictures too. Then we uploaded them to the computer and compared.

The students took home a CD which had the full presentation, including pictures, as well as some pictures for them to play with.

I think that we ALL learned something from this class. And we had a great time!

Today we held the first Close Up Jewelry Photography Class. We had only one student, but that was okay with everyone. Much more personal attention and it was a good first class for me. Our student was a friend of mine, I had built a website for his wife. I also have done all the photography to date for her website. He plans to retire in a few years and wants to do the photography and put her jewelry on the web for sale. (Currently, she doesn’t have any e-commerce on her site.)

It was a good first class, and we were able to determine some areas for improvement.

Our student comment “Thanks so much! This is a great start for me.”

The class was held at a local bead shop - And The Bead Goes On. If you’re in the San Antonio area and are interested in taking a class, visit their website calendar to see when the next one is scheduled.
