These emails come with the intent of helping you be a better photographer. But if you're tired of hearing from me, unsubscribe.

And if you want more photography stuff to read, there's a place on the interwebs where past emails I wrote are stored. You'll find 'em in the "Newsletter Hub."

Remember, I'd like to know what you want to know about photography. So, if you have any questions, email me at sam@samdamico.com. And for what it's worth. When you send me an email, unless someone's lookin' over my shoulder, I'm the only one that sees it.

Hello, .

Do you ever think about what's involved in making a photograph? 

In short, all of the pictures we make involve seeing something that initiates the impulse to make a picture and then engaging in a process that consists of an intent of composition and camera operation to create visual outcomes that support that compositional intent.

However, depending on the camera we use and how aware of what we do as photographers when making a picture, we may need help describing the thought and operation process we all go through to make pictures regardless of what camera we use.

Frequently, I meet with photographers who want to learn to use the camera on their phones thoughtfully to create intentional compositions. 

And here's the good part, that thought and camera operation process I was talking about can be learned by using the camera on their phone.

In short, they will learn to think like a photographer and operate the camera on their phone effectively to create thoughtful and intentional photographs. 

And suppose they ever decide to get a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or whatever format of camera.

In that case, they'll also be able to apply that thought and camera operation process to that camera. 

So, if you have a camera on your phone, you can learn how to be a better photographer by thinking like a photographer.

However, if you've got a DSLR or mirrorless camera, in that case, the Introduction to Photography class will teach you that thought process and a whole lot more.

More classes are below.

Do you need to learn to use your camera or brush up on some skills and techniques, especially if you want to be ready to take pictures and record those holiday moments?

I've scheduled Introduction to Photography and Getting to Know Your Camera classes.

Since class sizes are limited to five participants, it's a good idea to reserve your spot as soon as possible.

If you need a different schedule, there's always Private Lessons.
