About

Photographers Michelle Dismont-Frazzoni and V. Stephen Raynor, individually, have successfully spent their business careers mastering their skills. They have teamed up to share their knowledge acquired over the years by offering informal and hands-on photo workshops.  The venture is called “Camera Talk“. Designed for beginners, amateurs and for the ‘I think I want to go pro’ person. They will cover aspects of both the DSLR camera, and the phone camera. Sessions will focus on composition, lighting, (natural and artificial), and topics such as landscape, outdoor/studio portraiture, and still life. For the existing Photoshop user, workshops covering simple yet practical Photoshop techniques will be offered A question and answer period will be a part of each workshop. Each session is sure to inspire and increase understanding of photography in general and show how to effectively capture the desired subject matter.

Workshops will be held at various venues. Participants can express interest by email in the Contact section. There is no commitment to attend or prepay, however, a notice of intent to attend would be appreciated. The fee will be required before the commencement of the workshop at the venue.

We also offer private group and individual instruction.

NOTE: A tripod or some form of camera stabilisation is advised for those workshops where low light situations exist. It’s not a bad idea to use a tripod in any light. It allows for better composition and setting camera adjustments. DSLR cameras would be an asset but are optional, as phone camera have many of the same abilities and adjustments.

Dates and times will be posted in the Workshop section.
