Mike Busby's School of Photography - Schedules and Gift Certificates

Call me with any questions and we'll talk some photography

I'd like to take a moment and thank everyone who has made this school happen. To friends who've taught me some things along the way, to good business advice, and especially to those who support the business by taking classes. Thank you very much and your help is appreciated.

Gift Certificates for classes and private instruction are available. If you're giving a camera to someone new to photography, then consider giving them lessons. I can get them past a lot of frustration and on the fast to track to creating meaningful images. The most common compliment from my clients is the feeling that they are now creating photographs rather than just taking snapshots. 

Call me at (509) 995-2954 if you'd like a Gift Certification, or you can e-mail Busbywc@gmail.com.

This is a busy month for everyone, so I'm just doing private lessons in December. With private lessons, we sit down and talk about what you want, and then develop a plan to hit your goals. Photography, composition, Photoshop, printing, color management, or whatever aspect of photography is open for consideration and planning.  

January Schedule:

Classes return on January 5th and 6th. Introductory, Intermediate, Photoshop, and the Advanced Night shoot are all in motion.

Introductory Photography: For those who are new to photography. We cover camera settings and shooting fundamentals, and we start shooting on day one.

     Saturdays: January 5, 12, 19, and 26 from 12:00 - 2:00 p.m.

Intermediate Photography: The move to long exposure and manual mode. Bend the camera to your will and nail exposure under difficult lighting conditions every time. One day of practice, two night excursions, and then a final day of reviewing, processing, and talking about the images. 

     Saturdays: January 5, 12, 19, and 26 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.

     A Tripod is required.

Photoshop 101: Learn the power of constructing an image by layering light and making selective adjustments. This class also provides guidelines when making technical and artistic decisions during post. 

     Sundays: January 6, 13, 20, and 27 from 12:00 - 2:00 p.m.

Advanced Night Shooting: Learn how to select the best lighting conditions for shooting at night and how to shoot for post-production. This class meets in the field the first night and then we process on the second. And then we do it again. This class is for people comfortable with camera raw, Lightroom, and photoshop layers. 

     Sundays: January 6, 13, 20, and 27 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.

     Tripod is required and bring a laptop for when we are in class.

Call me with any questions and I like to meet people and talk about their wants before starting classes. I've helped beginners, people wanting to brush up on their skills and advanced photographers looking for ways to up their game.
