California Center for Photography www.californiacenterforphotography.com - Professional-level photography training located in Orange County California. View our website for upcoming courses!

We welcome both the beginner and advanced photographer for in-person and on-location workshops. The California Center for Photography (previously known as the California Center for Digital Art) is more than a collection of useful equipment, studios, classrooms, and top-flight teachers. We are a student resource for beginners, and a source of inspiration for advanced image/video creators developing new, or expanding, visual voices. We are a place where students learn to think in visual terms; we ground ourselves in the fundamentals, and revel in those wonderful ‘ah-ha!’ moments when a student grasps concepts that turn into incredible images.

Anything better than a Sunset in Joshua Tree National Park?

In addition to the stunning views, we’re going to be expanding our camera skills:

🌅 Sunset Dynamic Range: Balancing the bright amber sky with the shadows of iconic Joshua Trees using spot metering and exposure bracketing.
🌕 Moonlit Landscapes: Mastering long exposures under natural moonlight so your shadows stay rich and your desert foreground stays tack-sharp.
📐 Foreground Composition: Using massive boulder formations and desert flora to frame the horizon and build massive depth.
💡 In-Field Troubleshooting: Dialing in focus in near-total darkness without your lens hunting endlessly.

Just hands-on, 1-on-1 instruction under the desert sky with a crew of creators who love photography as much as you!

This workshop is designed for a small group… so reserve your spot today! Link in bio.

YouTube videos can only take you so far...
When you're stuck on camera setting and wondering how to capture that perfect portrait - don't search for more videos instead have an expert by your side guiding you each step of the way!

Our FOUNDATIONS PROGRAM isn't taught behind a screen! You bring your camera for a hands-on learning experience in our Santa Ana studio!

We broke down our FOUNDATIONS PROGRAM into bite-sized, hands-on workshops so you can actually spend time learning each level. From learning all the dials, mastering the exposure triangle, and adding Adobe Lightroom into your workflow... this series covers all the basics!
