Chicago Photography Workshops
Chicago Photography Workshops – Walking Tour
Chicago Photography Workshops are private one on one classes for you. My clients will learn the newest techniques to get amazing pictures of Chicago. We will work with each customer one-on-one to teach you the steps needed. Yes, we will do this with your camera, so the pictures taken are all yours. Our professional photography instructor, Kevin OConnell, has been a photographer for over 40 years and versed in both film and digital cameras. These classes are designed to be fun and informative as well as educational. This class should push you months ahead of reading books with just the two hour class.
