SOUVENIR FOTO SCHOOL TESTIMONIAL::MISS B.

My co-professor for Souvenir Foto School mentioned yesterday that we have 10 days till launch, which got me thinking about writing my own testimonial.  I know that may seem biased to write a testimonial for my own class, but really Souvenir Foto School is nothing without the participants, the students make the class. The photo above was from one of the first sessions.  I have always tried to change the themes up to keep the creativity flowing.  The assignment for that week was 'shoes'. I was sweating it because I was working from 6 a.m. til what felt like midnight and wasn't sure how I was going to pull a shot off. I did and this was the result. Truth be told, it is still one of my very  favorite photographs and I have it blown up in our living room. My little 3 lb. dog refused to not be part of the shoot, but wouldn't 'model' either, so I just worked with what I had. A lesson that you learn in class.

In the time that I have been teaching the classes, which has been a few year now, I have watched as students opened up their Etsy shops to sell their photographs, one student was tapped to shoot for a major travel magazine (proud is an understatement), a few have taken photography as their profession, professional photographers in the class have felt re-invigorated and it has been an all-and-all grand experience!  You don't need special equipment, you don't need to know how to shoot, all you need is the desire to become a better photographer and to be willing to commit to the class. Everyone that has committed has gotten better, that's a fact. We have TWO scholarships still available for those that can't budget this into their expenses (trust me, we understand this, I started this  school when I got my salary cut IN HALF). If you want to be considered for the scholarships the requirements are as follows:

• Must have something to shoot with (a camera phone, a point and shoot, anything)
• You must have access to a computer so you can upload your photos each day.
• You must commit to taking a photograph a day for 30 days. No quitting, no excuses.
• You must want this more than the other students applying by helping us spread the word.

You can leave a comment below or email me privately, Michelle my co-professor and myself will go through the list and choose accordingly.  If you can add this to your budget, we believe this could be the class that takes your photography to the next level. We've seen it time and time again to be confident in writing this.  For more details and to sign-up visit  here.

SCHOLARSHIPS ARE FILLED, THANK YOU!
