Yearbook Photography Workshop

Lead by Michael Negrete

It’s more than just Senior Portraits.

Are you a yearbook advisor struggling with photography? Maybe you're tired of dealing with blurry images or dark photos, or you simply feel a bit intimidated by the whole process.

Are you a yearbook student teaching yourself photography on the fly, watching YouTube videos, or just winging it?

Do you find yourself questioning things like which lenses are the best to use or how to edit your images? Are you looking to capture interesting photos with emotional impact and create captivating, award-winning yearbooks that tell a compelling story?

Well, I designed this workshop specifically for you!

We're offering a solution to your yearbook issues and roadblocks. Here is the photography workshop for students who are stuck when they're behind the camera.
This 5-day workshop will support your students who are looking for guidance and further their skills beyond what they thought possible.

Taught by Michael Negrete and his staff, your yearbook students will take hands-on classes at his studio in Claremont.
