San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 04, 2012

Photography novices and amateurs are invited to learn portrait photography secrets from award-winning San Francisco portrait photographer Michael Soo in a fun and informative day-long workshop, Photography Made Simple, on January 29th or February 4th at The Lookout in Sunnyvale. Michaels simple techniques help participants lift their pictures to a new level. Registration is open now at http://www.soophotography.com/workshop/, and space is limited.

I designed this photography workshop to be accessible to amateurs who want to deepen their skills and people with little or no experience. This photography class can help open up the artistic eye for anyone with a camera, even those with a cell phone camera, says Michael Soo.

The class will focus on utilizing composition to tell a story with photographs. Participants will learn to pose large groups and individuals. Michael will help students understand lighting technique and how to utilize light to create mood, and show the class how to use windows and household items to shape light. The workshop will finish with Photoshop tips and tricks to put the final touch on photographs.

Students will learn how to maximize their digital or film camera, and truly understand the foundation of using a camera, from basic to advanced techniques. Participants are encouraged to bring a camera, preferably an SLR camera, and a notepad or laptop.

The workshop exceeded my expectations. In addition to being very informative, it was also most enjoyable, said one photo workshop participant. From the first minute to the very end I was captivated.

Michael is offering two sessions of Photography Made Simple: Sunday, January 29th or Saturday, February 4th, from 9am to 3pm. The seminars will be held at The Lookout, located at 605 Macara Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085. Breakfast and lunch are included. The sessions are expected to fill quickly, so participants are encouraged to register soon at http://www.soophotography.com/workshop/.
