Basic Photography Class

Master the basics. Build your photography future.


✅ Starts: Wednesday, September 10, 2025


✅ Time: 12 PM – 2 PM


✅ Duration: Four consecutive Wednesdays


✅ Location: Holladay Photography Studio – 4060 29th St, Grand Rapids

I’ve been doing photography my whole life, and if there’s one thing I know – you learn better when it’s fun and in person.

We build from the foundation of the exposure triangle. Learning what aperture, ISO, and shutter speed do and how to use them together to create creative images and nail the exposure you need.

You’ll finally feel confident using your camera, learn how and when to use the modes and when to use manual mode, and see light like a photographer. Plus, no waiting for comments or hoping an algorithm shows you the right video – I’m right here to guide you every step of the way.
