I attended the beginners class...it was great. I am a novice and did not know anything about all of the workings of my digital camera. I have been given so much information and hands on teaching. I am very grateful and look forward to getting out of auto-mode!
The California Center for Digital Arts is an amazing place especially their photography classes for kids! My child developed a strong interest in photography after attending their program here. The classes are thoughtfully designed and cover everything from basic camera handling to composition, lighting, and creative storytelling. It’s been such a great learning experience. A special shout-out to David, who is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient. He explains concepts in a way that’s easy for kids to understand and always encourages them to explore and express their creativity. If you're looking for a fun, educational, and inspiring place for your child to learn photography, I highly recommend this center
I’ve taken two classes and gone on a photo walk and love the instruction provided. As a brand new photographer, the course made it easy to understand the components that come together to capture the image. And the tips given during photo shoots have been game changing—and always given with lots of patience!
We took a Digital Photography Basics class here and learned so much! David was patient and helpful. The class was well organized and thorough. Everyone brought a different kind of camera but David was able to help each person individually. We'll be back for more classes!
Just completed an amazing class at California Center for Digital Arts! The instructor, David, was present, helpful and funny! I learned a lot from my Basic Camera Class, and feel more confident using my camera. I can’t wait to practice!
