Classes for Photographers, By Photographers—At Art’s

Oct 31, 2017

You can learn almost anything online, but the difference is that little word: almost. When it comes to photography, there is no substitute, site, app, or video that can replace the hands-on experience of learning from an actual photographer who is passionate about what he or she does. That’s what you’ll find at Art’s Camera Plus—true professionals who use cameras, lenses, and accessories every day to capture great images—and want to help you do the same.


So Many Teachers, So Many Topics

Art’s has over 20 classes each month, all taught by a team that understands the tools and technologies of their trade. Most are certified photographic consultants while others have worked as professional photographers for weddings, events, or agencies. Their experience ranges from years to decades, and each brings something different into focus. Some specialize in macro-photography, others love a lighting challenge, and still others do their best work with family sessions and pet portraits. There are classes in all these areas and more, including five-week, brand-specific programs designed to help you understand what it takes to get your best images.


This kind of in-person, classroom-style learning is ideal for so many reasons, but mostly because photography itself is personal by nature. Instead of looking at diagrams or clips from YouTube, you’ll be working closely with an instructor who can demonstrate techniques, answer your questions, and share helpful stories. From Ray Llanas, who loves photographing wild mushrooms to Monica Laatsch who worked her way through college as a photographic lab technician, our staff is here to make photography easy and fun. You’re also side-by-side with other aspiring photographers—people you’re sure to have something in common with. Art’s plans monthly outings for groups of enthusiastic photographers to get together and practice shooting. This is Art’s Focus Group (Fun Opportunities for Creating Unique Shots), and another way to make friends while you venture out on field trips to shoot in various sites around Southeastern Wisconsin and beyond. It’s FREE to join, and you’ll get e-mails with details of where and when we’ll meet so you can choose which events you’d like to join us for.


All classes are held at our Waukesha or Greenfield stores, with additional one-on-one consultations available if you have a specific need or schedule. At Art’s, we value every customer who comes through our door, and are proud to have the classes, services, and staff that keep them coming back.The body content of your post goes here.

What do golf and photography have in common? A constant pursuit of the perfect shot, a sense of community, or maybe it's the love for being outdoors. When you break it down, they are more similar than not. Each medium comes with its own stories and when you combine them together, you really get something special. That's why we partnered up with Random Golf Club this past year to help get a community of like minded people together and have fun doing what they love. Random Golf Club?
