Your camera has over 400 settings. You need four. The camera company never told you which four.
You bought a nice camera. The photos were supposed to be better. They weren't. So you tried YouTube, tried Auto mode, tried just shooting more. None of that worked because cameras are designed by engineers, not photographers. The four settings you actually need are buried three menus deep.
Photography 1 is a complete photography foundations course. Two days, Saturday and Sunday, 9 AM to 4 PM. You walk in on Saturday shooting in Auto. You walk out Sunday shooting in manual mode and understanding why your photos look the way they do.
This is the same course we run as a six-week series, compressed into one weekend. Same material. Same classroom. Same result. Just faster.
I'm Walter Schnecker. I run C1M Academy in Amherst, NH, a Department of Education licensed school. I’ve worked with 2,000+ students over 20 years, and I specialize in making cameras feel simple.
We start from zero. No experience needed. Bring your camera. If you've been afraid to ask "basic" questions, this is the room where everybody asks them.
October 10th and 11th. 9 AM to 4 PM both days. Amherst, NH. $599. 
Bring a friend and they pay half. Split the savings however you want.
