Your digital camera can take wonderful photographs. But to take it to the next level you need to take the camera off the program and automatic settings and think for yourself. The camera will use what it sees to get you a nicely exposed photo but doesn’t know if the background is busy; or if a child you want to photograph is running outside on a cloudy day. By taking control of your camera and understanding and using the manual settings, you can be the brains and create beautiful images just the way you want. This class is for all types of digital cameras> We will cover commonly used shooting functions, and briefly touch on how to use the manual method and why it is important. Knowing your camera will help you create beautiful and artistic images instead of just taking pictures

Michael Barone has been a professional photographer and artist for almost 40 years after receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography from the University of Delaware. Barone approaches each photograph as an expression of artistic excellence. He is not only a commercial photographer but an award-winning artist who believes that the best images come from understanding the subject and seeing what others do not. His work has been shown internationally, had multiple one-man exhibitions, and has also published two books of his work. Over his career, Barone has photographed the human form in all its beauty and sensuality, showing a depth of emotion that brings the subject to life. Commercially, Barone uses his artistic training and the tools of modern photography to create work that meets his exacting artistic standards and satisfies the needs of his clients. He uses not only a camera, but Adobe Photoshop, creative darkroom techniques, and other post-production plug-ins to enhance and create images that transcend the basics. He is now a resident of the Lehigh Valley and besides fine art photography, Michael specializes in commercial, portraits, and product photography.
