Donna B. says, "I had a great time doing it. I do wish I could have taken notes. That is OK because I will the next time. Great learning how to take out my film in the dark. Need the next class just for printing. Suggestion: Prior to experiencing the workshop, take some sit down time and give instruction. That way if you want to take notes or handouts it can be done then. " Read more

Your Photography Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do photography classes cost?

Photography classes cost $80 to $300 at a local photography center, museum, or online course provider. A beginner photography course at a university costs $250 to $500+, while the cost for a photography degree program is $10,000 to $30,000 per year on average.

Prices depend on the type of class, skill level, and your location. A basic Introduction to Photography class typically costs less than advanced classes or workshops taught by an experienced photographer.

Why take photography classes, and are they worth it?

A photography class is worth it if you want to master your camera, learn new techniques, and gain the ability to capture moments in exciting, memorable images. You do not need to be an aspiring professional photographer or artist to benefit from a class.

You'll learn to observe the world around you in new ways and develop an eye for details, light, color, shape, and texture. Through expert feedback from the instructor, you'll identify areas where you need improvement and become a better photographer as a result.

What do you learn in a photography class?

A beginner photography class teaches basic camera skills and techniques, including:

  • The exposure triangle—aperture, shutter speed, and ISO—and how each setting affects motion, depth of focus, and noise in your images
  • Light and how it affects your photos
  • Composition techniques, the Rule of Thirds, and leading lines
  • Color, shape, and texture
  • White balance
  • Lenses and filters

More advanced photography classes teach post-processing techniques in Photoshop, Lightroom, or other similar photo editing programs. Post-processing techniques include color correction, retouching, adjusting contrast and sharpness, and more.

Advanced courses may also focus on a specific type of photography, such as landscape photography, portrait photography, or street photography

Do I need my own camera to take a photography class?

Most photography classes require you to bring your own camera. However, if you're interested in exploring photography before investing in your own camera gear, consider taking a class anyway. Whether you take photos with your cellphone or a high-end digital camera, you can benefit from the skills learned in the class.

During the class, you'll learn not just how to take great photos but also about the features you'd like in a more complex camera, as well as the best lenses and filters for the type of photography you're interested in. This knowledge will better prepare you for the expensive purchase.

Can you take photography classes online?

Yes, you can take photography classes online through universities, web course providers like CreativeLive and SkillShare, and a wide variety of websites dedicated specifically to photography. Most sites offer both beginner photography classes and a vast selection of intermediate and advanced classes focused on specific types or aspects of photography.

Where can I take photography classes near me?

Keep these tips in mind when choosing a photography class:

  • Look for a course targeted toward photographers at your skill level. Advanced photographers may want to consider taking a workshop with a specific photographer instead of a class.
  • Decide if you want to take a class that focuses on a specific style or type of photography.
  • Read the instructor's reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Check out the instructor's portfolio, as well as portfolios from previous students.

What questions should I ask photography instructors?

Ask the instructor these questions before enrolling in the class:

  • What skill level is this class designed for?
  • What topics will the class cover?
  • Do I need to bring my own camera?
  • Where will the class meet?
  • Will the class include instructor feedback?
  • Will you share our photos on the school website or social media?

Phoebe developed curriculum for the students in our afterschool program. She worked well with our students helping them to capture their "eye", which produced amazing photographs! She was patient and paid attention to detail, making sure all lessons were engaging and level appropriate.

The lesson was well prepared and executed. We all received handouts that we were able to use for reference throughout the class. In addition, Colin was always attentive and patient throughout the class and was able to guide us all with ease. The class was fun and informative; with only a few tips we were able to transform our photos. Thanks Colin! ^^

Everyone learns! No matter your skill level, STLSOP is always such a welcoming place, friendly staff, great location, and expert advice, oh, and you can buy the photography equipment you need to practice. I also love the outdoor classes and the photography trips.

I have taken almost all of the photography classes taught by Edward Crim through the St. Louis Photo Authority. All of the classes I have taken were detailed, thorough and packed full of tips and tricks and things I never knew about photography. I can recommend every class he offers without reservation. Even if you think you know all there is about a particular topic, I guarantee you will learn new things in Edward’s classes. If you have invested in a nice camera, lenses, and other accessories then you owe it to yourself to learn how to use all that equipment to create beautiful photographs. There is a lot of skill and technique that goes into creating a great photograph. Even if you are just interested in taking the occasional family and travel photo, Edward’s classes will give you the knowledge to elevate your snapshots to new levels of excellence. These classes are great for both the serious photographer and the hobbyist - there is something for everyone in every class. After you have taken some classes and started producing some new photographs, come to the monthly photo critiques at the St. Louis Photo Authority to share your work and see what others are creating. You are guaranteed to learn a lot at these sessions as well.
