Becoming A Better Photographer 4-Part Series

This is a WenOut MEMBER ONLY 4-part Educational Series. Become a member now.
Looking to level up your photography game?? We have an opportunity waiting for you to join a professional photographer and WenOut board member Thom Schroeder for a fun, hands-on series all about capturing the beauty of the outdoors.
Location: Foothills Middle School
Details: Photography is a lifelong journey, and the great news is that anyone can improve their craft. In this four-part series, we’ll explore the development of three essential skills while incorporating assignments to help you apply them in your own work. This might seem daunting, but it’s meant to be accessible. We’ll steer clear of overly technical discussions about cameras and software, as there are plenty of resources available for that. All you need for this series is a camera (even your phone works) and a willingness to improve. While bringing a laptop to share your work would be beneficial, it’s not a requirement.
Session One: Tuesday March 25 6:30-8:00

Observation (90 minutes, includes a take-home assignment) We’ll dive into the first skill of becoming a better photographer: the art of observation. This involves being aware of your surroundings and learning to anticipate light, timing, and movement to create captivating images.

Session Two: Tuesday April 22 6:30-8:00

Visualization (90 minutes, includes a take-home assignment) In this session, we’ll focus on visualization—imagining your final photograph before capturing it. This includes aspects of composition and post-processing, considering what to include or exclude from the frame, and how to edit to achieve your envisioned result.

Session Three: Tuesday May 20 6:30-8:00

Manipulation (90 minutes, includes a take-home assignment) Often referred to as post-processing, this session will explore editing techniques while revisiting the first two skills to understand how they all integrate.

Session Four: June 17 6:30-8:00

Critique (90 minutes) Feedback is invaluable in the learning process. In our final session, we’ll review the photographs we’ve created and discuss ways to continue refining these three skills as we strive to become better photographers.

About Thom Schroeder:
Thom is a professional photographer with experience shooting across the country and in our local area. He runs a media and creative agency, Woolley Creative, collaborating with clients both locally and nationally. Thom and his family relocated to Wenatchee in 2018.
Spaces is limited, please reserve your spots below. Come to as many as you would like, you will select the ones you can attend when you register. If spots fill up, we will have a waitlist.
