We can help with that too! Learn how to use your camera efficiently from a technical and artistic point of view. You will also learn quick postproduction techniques and design tricks to help your creative endeavors stand out!

INFLUENCER WORKSHOP:

In a world of followers, favorites, and likes, social media strategy has never been more important. The explosion of social media—social networking, blogging, hashtags and other forms of online social dynamics—is introducing a powerful tool for people to communicate and share information. This workshop will introduce social media strategies that will empower you to become an influencer in your generation. Through real world examples, including analysis of your own social networks, students will develop skills for mastering the patterns and usage of services like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others.
