Stop Shooting on Auto. Start Making Art. Did you recently invest in a high-quality camera but find yourself stuck on “Auto” mode? This workshop is designed specifically to help beginners break through the technical overwhelm and start capturing the world as they see it.
The day begins at a scenic location near Watkinsville, where Chris will personally help you “decipher” your camera. You won’t just learn what the buttons do; you’ll learn the language of light, the physics of exposure (Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO), and the art of seeing a frame before you ever click the shutter.
Afterwards, you will return to the Sixteen North Main gallery. You’ll learn the basics of digital organization and the “quick-fix” editing techniques that make your photos pop. As an Apple Distinguished Educator, Chris specializes in making complex technology simple, ensuring you leave with the confidence to tackle any subject.
Format: Field-guided shooting session followed by a classroom session at the gallery.
Best for: New camera owners, hobbyists, or anyone who feels “intimidated” by their gear.
Key Skills: Mastering Manual Mode, understanding depth of field, basic composition rules, and “Zero-to-Hero” mobile/desktop editing.
Cost: Starting from $275 for 2 hours
The Complete Creative Cycle. Join Chris for a deep-dive into the two halves of modern photography: the technical capture and the digital darkroom. Based out of his Sixteen North Main studio in Watkinsville, this workshop utilizes the beauty of the nearby Georgia landscape, where the focus will be on the “View Finders” approach to scouting, composition, and light management.
After the shoot, you will return to the gallery for an intensive session of post-processing mastery. Chris will guide you through his professional workflow—from raw organization in Lightroom to advanced tonal control and atmospheric blending in Photoshop. You will learn not just “how” to move the sliders, but the “why” behind every creative decision needed to turn a raw file into a gallery-ready masterpiece.
Format: Morning field session followed by a studio editing intensive.
Best for: Photographers who have the gear but want to bridge the gap between their raw files and the polished look of professional fine art.
Key Skills: Advanced composition, long-exposure techniques, and cinematic editing workflows.
Cost: Starting from $300 for 2 hours
Motion Changes Everything. Whether you want to create stunning travel films, launch a YouTube channel, or produce professional content for your own brand, moving from still photography to video can feel like learning a new language. Join Chris for a one-day intensive designed to demystify the world of cinema as he shares much of what he has learned while producing and filming his tv show.
Morning: The Field Shoot Begin on location, focusing on the “Three Pillars of Cinema”:
Motion & Stability: Learn when to move the camera and when to keep it still to create professional-grade sequences.
The Technical Shift: Master frame rates, shutter angles, and the “Manual Mode” of video.
The Secret of Sound: Why audio is 50% of the viewing experience and how to capture it cleanly in the field.
Afternoon Studio Session: Regroup at the Sixteen North Main gallery, transitioning from field kits to the editing suite. Using the same professional environment where View Finders and other projects are born, you’ll learn the basics of “The Cut.” Chris will guide you through organizing footage, the art of the “B-Roll,” and how to use music and color grading to evoke emotion.
Format: Field production session followed by an editing/storytelling session at the gallery.
Best for: Photographers wanting to add video to their skill set, small business owners, or aspiring content creators.
Key Skills: Cinematic composition, gear selection (mics, gimbals, filters), and “Zero-to-Hero” editing workflows.
Cost: Starting from $950 for an entire day
