People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

    lacking in participants. The teacher/lecturer knew her stuff which was pleasing. But but lacked in a little bit of confidence. I would give her ?A? for effort.

    I'm sorry more people didn't join in but a class with Julia is always worth the price. I like the way she formats the class with 3 or 4 assignments over the 2 hour time frame.

    It was a lot of fun! Our instructor, Julia, gave us assignments that were specific enough to follow, but left a lot of freedom to interpret creatively. Plus, the setting, in downtown, historic Savannah, was a beautiful place to take pictures. The people, the atmosphere, and the setting really helped with the pictures that I managed to take. I?d recommend the class to anyone interested in learning about photography.

    I very much enjoyed the event. Our instructor, Julia, was very helpful in looking at my photos and giving suggestions on what worked and what I needed to improv upon. I learned a lot from her assignments and enjoyed meeting other people in the class, with similar cameras and interests in photography. I would recommend any similar event of the Savannah Photography Group to anyone interested in learning more about photography and improving their photographic skills.

    This is my second class with Julia. I have nothing but praise for her skill teaching student's with very different experience levels. She is smart, kind, and willing to share her photographic expertise. The course covered what light to shoot in and ways to modify that light, posing, and taking candids of the class and of the people enjoying Forsythe Park. I consider it a bargain at $43.00.

    I passed this barn nearly every week but it was always around noon miserable lighting every time. I finally went there at 3:30 on a sunny day ( winter) and the light on the metal barn was much to my satisfaction. Shot with a Nikon Z7 and a Nikkor 14-30 at 30mm. I used to do this photography with a 4x5 but this image is sharper still.

I came across him, along with a couple of his friends, hanging out on the rail of the fishing deck at the park entrance.This was taken later in the day, roughly 7:00pm in October, which gives it the pretty orange glow.I used a Nikon P950 camera.

    High tide was around 2am which meant there would still be plenty of water on the beach in the hour before sunrise. Weather forecast was promising with sun and cloud forecast so I was set for an early start. Up at 5-40am and was in position on the beach just before 5 am. As often happens my best pictures were taken within the first 20 minutes when the light was at its best.
