I’ve been talking to several people recently who are deeply disturbed that the colour on their photographs is completely wrong. In the example above, you can see the left photograph has a yellow tinge. The one on the right is the correct colour. This is caused by the different colour that each light source has. You can either fix it by setting your white balance correctly or in post production.

If you’ve had this problem and want to learn how to correct it, you need to sign up for our Manual Settings photography class offered this Friday, January 27th from 7:00 – 9:00. You can find more information and sign up here. As of the time this was posted, there are only two spots available as we limit our class sizes to 12.

We also have room in our SLRs for Dummies class offered this Friday. In this class you will learn how to focus, change between shooting modes, download and change lenses. It is an excellent introductory class if you received a new camera over the holidays or are intimidated by all the bells and whistles on your camera.

All of our classes are taught in Revival Arts Studio by full-time professional photographers, Jason and Darcie Brown, in an engaging, hands-on environment. We will give you practical tips and techniques, show you examples from our own work and do several exercises in class to apply what you are learning.

Many people have asked us if we have more classes scheduled for the rest of the year. The answer is “No”. If you want to learn more, now is the time to sign up as we are expecting baby #3 in March and are being careful about what additional activities we commit to.

Other classes offered are:
Lighting: Adding impact to your images
Manual Settings: Embrace the M word
Take Better Pictures of Children
Photography for Teens

Grads love our photography because it captures their individuality and uniqueness at this transition point in their lives.Graduation is often the last time a person is professionally photographed before his or her wedding. Parents of grads, we realize that professional grad photography is an investment – when you’re already investing a lot in the entire graduation process. However, this is one investment you and your grad will have as a permanent keepsake that will bring back fond memories. We noticed one of our grads had a friend post on her Facebook wall, “You’re so lucky your parents got Revival Arts to photograph you!”
