Cyanotype: Wet and Traditional

Los Angeles Center of Photography See all classes by this school

One of the early photographic processes, invented in 1842 by Sir John Hirschel, was the cyanotype. It is based on sunlight causing a change in a light sensitive emulsion brushed onto paper or fabric. Many of the early photographic images were called “sun prints” because they had to be exposed using UV lights, or sunlight. This is a contact print process, and you will need negatives the size you would like your final image to be. We will start...

Class Description

Description

We are holding our signature Beginner's Photography Class online. Learn how to use your camera manually in 2.5 hours. No camera needed.

Become a better photographer in just 1 class! Have you ever wondered why, after spending hundreds of dollars on the latest cameras, you still can't get photos that really make you proud? We're not talking about the party snapshots you post on Instagram, but stunning, well-exposed landscapes that can be considered fine art.

This 2.5-hour class is a crash course in digital photography. You will learn what all those knobs and dials on your DSLR do, the optimal settings to use in any lighting condition, and what kind of camera to buy if you don't already have one. You will understand concepts like exposure, aperture, depth of field, ISO and shutter speed. Our goal is for you to never want to use the "automatic mode" again. We will teach you only the best tips and tricks with your iPhone, as well.

No prior experience or camera equipment is necessary to attend. You just need a desire to improve your photography skills. Take this class for yourself or gift it to a friend who's got a photography itch to scratch. We will keep the class small so every questions will be answered.

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.

Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.

Refund Policy

Merchant cancellation/re-scheduling policy of 2 business days applies; voucher subject to forfeiture.

In the event that an instructor or the school needs to cancel at the last minute, students will receive a refund less a 5% non-refundable registration fee.

  • Beginner's Photography Class using a DSLR and/or iPhone

    The course was very helpful in learning the basics of photography. The examples provided really helped understanding what the effects of each setting would do. I also liked the smaller class size so the instructor was able to come around to help you set up your specific camera. It was extremely insightful and I would definitely recommend this to beginners!
  • Beginner's Photography Class using a DSLR and/or iPhone

    I think the class and the teacher were good. But the amount of people too much. When I read about the class I was under the impresión that it was going to be more than one teacher to assist us with questions. I got out of the class with some knowledge, but more confuse in how to use my camera.

    Very informative and thorough. The teacher was accommodating and patient and seemed very professional
  • Beginner's Photography Class using a DSLR and/or iPhone

    Evan was great. Very informative class. I've been trying to get aperture to stick in my brain in a way that I can understand and Evan, with one sentence, made it so. And while it doesn't necessarily make sense to me WHY it is how it is... at least now, I get it! Looking forward to future classes (and getting the powerpoint from class.)
  • Beginner's Photography Class using a DSLR and/or iPhone

    Very helpful. Clear explanations and demonstrations
  • Beginner's Photography Class using a DSLR and/or iPhone

    Terminology and material are easy to digest. Environment was relaxed and comfortable. There was plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Learned a lot and I recommend the course for beginners! I'm just nit-picking here: - presentation should be emailed at least same day as the class so that people can refer to it immediately. an alternative would be to print the presentation as a handout so ppl can write notes if needed. - jot down the list of questions that weren't answered at the time it was asked but weren't answered because "we would get to it later" to make sure that the class/instructor did end up addressing those questions later.

    Very helpful class - Jayron explained the relationship between the various exposure functions in an easy to grasp way, that I have been able to remember.
  • Beginner's Photography Class using a DSLR and/or iPhone

    Super helpful! Jayrol explained every concept in clear detail. He even took the time to examine our individual cameras and show us their specific controls and interesting features. He answered all my questions and gave me personalized recommendations. I feel so much more confident having taken this class with him.

    If you really want to know your camera, then this is a perfect class for you.
