What students are saying about the Guided Study eCourse"I'm loving Brit's class, if you are on the fence, jump off and sign up!!! The best part of her class is her honest critique — not someone just saying "cool". She really takes the time and thinks about it and tells you what she sees and feels!!! Thank you, Brit!" — Bronwen Heilman, flamework glass artist / jeweler "This is a GREAT class — if you are at all fearful of your camera, Brit really takes you through all that you need to know and learn to make your artwork look really, really good! I highly recommend it! This is a fabulous and supportive class that becomes a life-force in your creative life!" — Alix Morrison Railton, jeweler "In this class Brit teaches all of the basic photography skills such as focus, lighting, composition, and post-processing, but the real heart of this class is learning to shoot from the heart. She taught me how to see my art more objectively and more lovingly. For the most part, photographs are the first and often only way that the world will see your work. Each and every photo should depict the artist’s passion and professionalism. Brit can show you how this is done." — Beth Gibson Saxena, mosaic and mixed-media artist Read more testimonials > |

Student work
Here are some examples of student images from the Guided Study eCourse. Since each student gets personalized feedback, growth is pretty darn quick!
What you will needDSLR camera (or a "bridge" camera that allows you to control aperture) NB: Yes, it's okay to take this course with a "point & shoot" camera, but you'll have more creative control of your images with a DSLR, or a "bridge" camera that allows you to control aperture. You'll also be able to do more with the images afterwards in terms of post-production.

GUIDED STUDY ECOURSE
The day this 4-week eCourse begins you'll be given access to the Photographing Fine Art & Craft group on Facebook where you will post your homework assignments for feedback and ask questions. I visit the group twice a day Monday through Friday so your questions are answered in a timely manner.
Each Monday you’ll receive an email reminding you to read/watch that week's material. You'll also be given an assignment due the following Monday. Of course, if you just want to follow the class and not post homework, that's also okay.
What makes the Guided Study class worth the money to students is the community and support. The course fee is a lifetime membership to a private group where your learning continues long after the class is over. Inspiration is posted each week to keep you growing and you'll learn from feedback given to all other students (past, present, future). Most importantly, you'll find that friendships form within the group.
You'll also receive all future course updates, if you want them. Beyond that, it's also possible to continue to get feedback on your images after the class is over for just $10/image - the feedback is detailed and personalized to help you get where you want to go. And if you want to retake the class for any reason, you're entitled to a 15% discount. You'll also get a reduced rate on your first mentoring session with me when you upgrade to include mentorship (see below).
