We plan to record the live sessions in case they don't work out for your schedule. You can email questions or participate in the onine group discussion as you work your way through the course.

You will not get the hands-on experience with the equipment provided during the in person session, but you will get to take part in the discussion about those items.

We will attempt to offer recorded or live lessons that cover some of the hands-on photo session to give you as much of the in-person experience while you join us digitally.
