Overview

The lack of adequate training available in inkjet & digital technologies is overwhelming. Many individuals training large groups do not have the patience or desire to address students of varying abilities. Booksmart Studio's owner has years of experience teaching at the college level and has focused the workshop series with the same curriculum needs one may expect in a college photography program.
 
Booksmart Studio's workshops are focused for all skill levels with the various workshops offered. The digital darkroom allows photographers to explore more possibilities than the darkroom was capable of producing. Why wouldn't you want to learn how to control this tool? Hands-on experience is the foundation to Booksmart Studio's workshop series, as you will apply the skills discussed within our facilities. Booksmart Studio's workshops have been designed to create an environment in which each participant plays a vital role in the creativity of the workshop through critiques and discussion.
