Photography Class: Understanding How to Take Better Photos (Any Type of Camera) (3/19/26)

This in-person photography class focuses on composition and light, the two elements that make the biggest difference in your photos, no matter what camera you use — including your phone.
This is a hands-on, practical class designed for beginners and casual photographers who want immediate improvement without technical overwhelm.
