This 2-session course will introduce students to their DSLR’s priority and full manual modes.

Instructor

Kenrick Fischer


I am a multi-disciplined artisan with a strong connection to light, nature, and conservation.

With my camera in hand, I capture compelling images of nature with the hope of inspiring others to appreciate and protect the wonders around us all. I create videos to encourage outdoor exploration. Having a long career as a professional lighting designer I developed a keen eye for lighting and composition. Carrying over with me the love of storytelling, I strive to bring these passions into each image I create, images that I hope inspire others to explore and see the world around with the sense of wonder I have each time I venture out.
