Announcing – Sold Out

Our first Beyond Snapshots online workshop. The workshop is now sold out. Check back for more dates!

We are so excited for this opportunity to team up and teach in a more intimate online classroom. Don’t worry, the blog is not going anywhere. In fact, it will continue to grow!

Interested in the class?

Things needed: Your DSLR with at least one lens (any brand), an editing program (Adobe Photoshop Elements or even better, Photoshop full version), a computer to do it all on.

Who this class is for: Beginning photographers who want to learn how to get the most out of that fancy camera and see what actually goes into making great photographs.

What we will cover: We are starting from the beginning…that is why this class is for beginners.  After we get you understanding the functions of the camera and properties of light we will go through composition, posing, inspiration, style and other elements of portrait photography.  From there we take you through organizing and processing your files.  We will be posting assignments to inspire you and even sharing behind the scenes videos.  Our final focus will be on printing, sharing and blogging those gorgeous photos of yours.  There is just so much that will be covered that it can’t all fit here…that is why we are running the class!

How we are going to teach: We have a great new virtual classroom for this workshop.  You go through the lessons as they are released weekly and turn your assignments in online.  While these are not graded assignments, we will be giving each member individual feedback.  This is your chance for personal photo mentoring by Rachel Devine and Peta Mazey in the comfort of your own home!  Don’t worry, you don’t need to change out of your jammies, it is all online, but we do answer your questions and help you work through your trouble spots.

The first workshop is scheduled for 5 April – 24 May (7 weeks)

The workshop cost is $500 and has a limited enrollment so that each person gets personal attention from both of us.

This workshop won’t be covering any business information or client relations.

Coming soon - Details on portfolio reviews and private mentoring with Rachel and Peta

Denise February 9, 2010 at 10:41 pm

Loved… Loved… Loved… the workshop!!!
Rachel & Peta are wonderful teachers.
You will become best friends with your camera and capture beautiful pictures together.
You will be very happy you participated in their class.
There’s a bonus to taking the workshop….
you meet new friends:) and form friendships that will last past the end of the workshop.
The only thing I didn’t like was the class ended :(
There’s so much more to learn but I’m very excited about their new blog.
I’m looking forward to sharing our journeys as photographers with the wonderful community here at Beyond Snapshots!
prosperity, peace & love

What exactly constitutes a beginner?

wes howe February 10, 2010 at 12:06 am

Christine February 10, 2010 at 3:27 am

I was so excited to get this announcement in my inbox this morning! So looking forward to this!!

Merry Herrera February 10, 2010 at 4:52 am

I’m enrolled!!! and very excited!

rachel February 10, 2010 at 7:39 am

It is a go at your own pace class, but the lessons roll out over 7 weeks so as not to overwhelm anyone!

rachel February 10, 2010 at 7:39 am

Looking forward to having you in our class!

Leslie February 11, 2010 at 2:02 am

I so wish I could afford to do this right now. It sounds AMAZING. Instead, I will continue to follow the blog and try and balance graduate school with taking any pictures AT ALL. :P Maybe next time…

Michelle Pixie February 11, 2010 at 4:38 am

I am also enrolled and so excited! :D

Shannon Carlson February 11, 2010 at 6:42 am

I am so excited to see this class offered. I am so hoping to be able to sign up!! I would be so thrilled to learn from Rachel and Peta. They both do amazing work!

Luca February 11, 2010 at 8:58 am

mmm…maybe a stupid question…are we talking US dollar or Australian dollar?

peta February 11, 2010 at 9:43 am

Luca, the price is in US dollars.

Sophie February 11, 2010 at 11:00 pm

I bet this would be so much fun, too bad I can’t do it right now :( :(

camille February 13, 2010 at 12:02 am

how are the lessons taught? are they via video, live feed, emails, an online chat room, or similar to posts on this blog…?

rachel February 13, 2010 at 8:30 am

The lessons are taught in posts with photo illustrations in an online classroom format. There will be videos as well to illustrate some of the lessons. Each student has their own drop box on the site to submit their assignments.

Laura February 15, 2010 at 8:02 am

I’ve signed up too and I’m super excited about it. Thank you for offering exactly what I need! :)

Ann February 17, 2010 at 7:04 am

Sounds like a fantastic opportunity! I just signed up and tried to send an email to you Rachel, based on the email from PayPal. The email bounced back to me as undeliverable. I simply neglected to add my name to the PayPal form and wanted you to have it. Thanks!

Corina February 21, 2010 at 3:24 am

ooh ohh wait till my hubby gets home from the snow thsi afternoon, , I want this for my birthday (April 1st) …..fingers crossed. Hope you are not already full!

Joy February 21, 2010 at 4:40 am

How can my Daughter register for the classs with me paying for it? (we are in different states). Can I just use my credit card info – this will be a fantastic birthday present for a fabulous up and coming photographer (even if I say so myself)…

Katie February 21, 2010 at 11:21 am

Ah, I wish I could participate, but I’m going to have to save up some money. Hopefully I’ll catch a later class!

jenn February 21, 2010 at 12:14 pm

also, do we have to do the tutorials at a certain time or are we free to do them any time during the day? i really want to do this, but have a newborn, time limitations ;(

Shannon Carlson February 21, 2010 at 2:17 pm

Hi, I am so super interested in taking this class! However right now I can’t make it happen. :( So, I am wondering how often you will be offering the class, or if you know when the next one might be. I am going to start saving up for it now! :)

Thanks!!!

peta February 21, 2010 at 9:31 pm

Hi Shannon. We have no idea when, but there will be more.

peta February 21, 2010 at 9:32 pm

You can go ahead and use the pay now button to register for the class, then just email us at beyondsnapshots@gmail.com with her details. What a wonderful gift. We would love to have her join us.

peta February 21, 2010 at 9:34 pm

All the classes roll out on a weekly basis and are then available for you until the end of the course. So you can do them in your own time. Hope to see you join us!

Sonya March 1, 2010 at 11:19 pm
