In the Field Photography Classes

Take your photography beyond the classroom and into real-world shooting situations. Our in-the-field photography classes are designed to help you apply what you’ve learned while exploring a variety of subjects in dynamic environments.

These hands-on photography classes are offered throughout the Washington DC area, including Northern Virginia and select locations in Maryland, and are ideal for photographers who want to gain confidence, improve their technique, and capture more compelling images.

Learn by Doing

In-the-field classes focus on practical experience. With guidance from an instructor, you’ll learn how to evaluate light, adjust your camera settings in real time, and compose stronger images in a variety of conditions.

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions as you shoot and receive feedback to help you improve.
