"We Help You Make You Make the World's Most Important Photographs, YOURS" At Richard Stromberg's Chicago Photography Classes we won't try to sell you a "membership", caps or t-shirts with our logo on it. We won't ask you for contributions or charge you to attend a party - for a Shows Opening. We will, teach and work with you, to foster a safe community where you will learn something each time you walk through the door. Basic camera overview, operation, and the principles of correct exposure Often imitated but never equaled, Richard's Free 90 minute workshop was designed to teach people about their cameras and allow someone a picture of what Richard's classes are truly like. Starting at High Noon each Sunday, this energetic 90 minute workshop will keep your attention. A free notebook is provided for you to take notes. As always, The only accent here is on learning. If you have a new Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, need a refresher or have never attended a photography class, This Is The Workshop To Attend. If you are thinking of purchasing a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) or Film (SLR) our camera experts will help you to understand what is important and what's not important in a DSLR camera, or a film SLR Camera - with interchangeable lenses. We know where the best prices are in the country, and if you want to save some money and buy a used camera, we know which ones to stay away from. You will learn basic DSLR camera operation: an overview of your camera controls, use of your camera's exposure meter, a discussion about which lens is the best value. No worries if you have a film camera because those cameras are covered as well. Be sure to bring a camera as well as your camera manual if you have one. If you do not have a camera, don't worry, be happy, a camera will be provided for you to use during the workshop. Compare us with others and decide for yourself. Does Richard's 40 years of teaching experience, make a difference? Don't let high ceilings and large windows at other places fool you, "IT'S WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CLASSROOM THAT COUNTS!" Why are Classes Different at Chicago Photography Classes? Why do you get more for your money here? What is value? Is it all, just about price?.......... Well, not quite! We don't fill our classes with as many people as the room will hold. No ÂÂ"aircraft coachÂÂ" seating here, three abreast, aisle in the middle. It's easy to get lost in a large class, it's just human nature for an arrogant "artsy" teacher to gravitate to the brightest light in the room. It takes teaching experience and attention to detail to be sure everyone in the room "gets it". Our ratio of 1 teacher for every 5 students is the most effective teaching model in Chicago & the Midwest. You are not just another body to help us meet our monthly nut. We pay close attention to each student. If you are having trouble "getting it" we will spend as much time with you as necessary. Our Computer facilities are spacious, four feet of space for each work station, tall ceilings, no cramming of students here! Come on by to tour our facilities -- two computer Labs, 26 Computers, PCs and iMacs. A film darkroom, seven "best in class" archival Epson Printers, a Lighting Studio. Large classrooms, padded arm chairs with wheels. We provide each Photo I student with their own 50 sheet box of archival paper for their prints, with notebooks and handouts, at no additional charge. We have ample Free parking seven days a week. The Photo II & III students have 24 hour, seven day a week access to the facilities. You see, what we have is a community of people focused on learning & teaching Photography. No elitism, no attitude, no rules or restrictions that get in the way of learning, no "membership" fee. After you finish a class with Richard & his Teachers you will have real skills, that you will use on your journey of life long learning.. We don't have rigid hours, we will stay as late as is required after class and we open each day, hours before classes start. Every student gets extra time if they need it. Richard is available to students seven days a week, at the times that are convenient for students. Everyone gets Richard's cell phone number and you may call or text him 24 hours a day. Richard even has someone answering his phone for him while he is teaching a class. Each perspective student is encouraged to attend our free 90 minute workshop offered each weekend, before they start classes. Our first Photo I class is free, no salesman will call. Richard uses his 45 years of photography and teaching experience for the benefit of his students. Which camera to buy? Where to go for the best price? Which are the best lenses? Which are the best used cameras and lenses, and how much should they cost? Forty years teaching, more than 12,000 students; Richard is the founder of the most recognized Photo Programs in Chicago. The teachers here don't try to impress you, they teach you, so you will learn and grow and find your own unique artistic center. Are you getting what you paid for?
