Are you currently at a point in your photography career where you feel stuck or just simply wish to challenge your brain? I encourage aspiring photographer through a variety of mentoring opportunities. My heart is with photography but I also have a passion to teach others. Below you will find a variety of courses that may fit your journey.
Mentoring is so much more than teaching you what I do and hoping you catch on, Its about teaching you my creative process and helping you create your own journey using tips, tools and lessons learned from the teachings.
Camera Talk for Moms- LEARNING TO SHOOT IN MANUAL WORKSHOP
Do you have a desire for Learning to shoot in Manual mode? Well lets Chat! I LOVE Photography and I love inspiring others. As a mom I appreciate all kinds of pictures, by that I mean I love taking pictures on my “big girl camera” and I love snapping pictures on my cell phone. Both types of pictures have a place in my heart. I am here to encourage and inspire you to take out that “big girl” and tell it what you want it to do!
During this 3 hour class I will teach you how to achieve results you will love. I will teach you about the exposure triangle, metering modes, white balance, camera angles, camera settings, camera terminology, ideal consumer labs to print with and more! Tell me you are not excited about learning to *rock* your camera?!
EDITING ONLINE- LEARN TO EDITING OUTDOOR IMAGES
Learn to edit with Stevie Cruz Photography. You will see Stevie editing backlit and Green grass settings from start to finish. Her quick and simple process is explained via video format and you will be added to a private mentoring group online for ongoing discussions. Through the online editing course, you will see an overview of how I would edit a photo from a typical outdoor session. I will show you my process of manually editing in ACR and final tweaks in Photoshop (I use CS6).
Mentorships is done via online videos. I often add more content throughout the months so you have continued growth. I never want a mentee overwhelmed so I encourage you to watch little by little, so you can take in all the information. This is especially awesome if you are a visual learner. You can see what I am doing as I do it and I talk you through everything and of course you have the group to post any questions or feedback on your own images.
What you will need:
Photoshop CC. (You do not need CC for these mentorships, but it is highly recommended it. I also recommend basic knowledge of Photoshop; such as Layers and brushes along with how they are used)
*Learn how I bring out the rich, vibrant colors to help make your images pop using simple techniques in ACR and Photoshop. While I won’t be editing in Lightroom, most of the tools available in Lightroom thus you should be able to replicate the keystrokes)
