I’m really really lucky that my husband is a professional photographer and takes my picture for the website and all my social media handles.
I also play around with one of the DSLR cameras we use, and I wish I were more adept at using it.
Why not ask my husband to teach me? Well, he’s tried … There is truth in that a family member should not teach you how to drive, or ski or use a camera!
Fortunately for those who, like me, know a bit but would love to understand a lot more about photography, Best Buy is offering Photography Workshop Tours for intermediates, on July 28, 2018, in the cities of Seattle, San Diego, Houston, Atlanta, Tampa, New York City and Minneapolis.
What is a Photography Workshop Tour?
These are half-day excursions where you’ll get the chance to work with pro photographers and Camera Experience Shop experts to conduct four individual photo shoots.
You’ll get to test and try an array of lenses and accessories to truly unleash what’s possible with photography, learn to think like a pro and walk away with some pretty cool photos.
At the end of the day in addition to lunch you’ll get a bag of camera goodies.
Not only that, if you share your photos on social media with the #BestBuyPhotoWorkshops hashtag, you’ll be entered to win Best Buy gift cards or a dream photography package!
The cost to attend each event is $50, but you’ll easily make this up with the giveaways, lunch, transportation, and the priceless opportunity to work with pros.
What if you’re a beginner?
Then you can start out with a Free In-Store Photography Workshop. These are two hours long and cover photography basics.
Bring your camera, since the Camera Experience Shop Experts will walk you through it’s settings. I could actually use help with this!
Once you’re done, take the next step into the upcoming Photography Workshop Tours on 10/20 and 1/19.
You can sign-up to be notified when these go live for registration in the fall/winter.
Who is offering these workshops?
These great photography workshops are possible thanks to Best Buy’s Camera Experience Shop.
If you’re wondering what this is, It’s essentially like visiting a specialty camera store, right in the middle of your local Best Buy.
You will find expert help in the form of the Camera Experience Shop Experts. These experts go through intensive photography training and are all photo enthusiasts too.
The advantage of attending these workshops is that there’s an expanded assortment of cameras, lenses and accessories that you won’t find in other locations.
Plus you can get hands on with all the cameras and test and try them in the store. What’s not to like?
