Whether you are new in the business or a veteran you will enjoy Doug’s fun style of teaching. He will also cover exposure and white balance for digital photography.  With film your exposure could be off a little, with digital  you have to be right on or you will spend hours with Photoshop. So, let’s figure out how to do it right.
And if you know Doug, he will throw in some great business tips.

A study guide with DVD is required for this class.  Cost is $35.  The study guide will be mailed to you before your MAIPP class begins.
