Digital Photography Classes

SmarterPics teaches digital photography classes in the Portland, Oregon and South Puget Sound regions. We lead photographic field trips and tutor students on their digital photography skills.

Great digital photography is only possible when you understand both the technology and the artistry to bring out the very best of the digital photos you take. Through our small, personal, hands-on, digital photography classes and tours, you will learn to master the technology of digital cameras and the aesthetics of good digital photography. SmarterPics will help you overcome the frustrations and produce the photos you have always wanted. Whether you have a sophisticated DSLR system or a simple point and shoot, there is a lot to learn to take great digital photos.

SmarterPics offers a wide range of courses that starts with the beginner and intermediate course so that you can master the basics. For the advanced digital photographer, we offer advanced and specialized classes as well as field trips.  Whether you have an entry level automatic point and shoot digital camera or a sophisticated digital single lens reflex (DSLR) system, SmarterPics will help you quickly take your photography from frustrating snapshots to great photos.
