People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography.

    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.

    Was lucky to have a meteor fly across the sky as I was taking this photo. I've always wondered at the night sky. Even now, anytime I see a meteor or even a satellite it still fills me with excitement. Astrophotography allows me to share that wonder and excitement with others.
