Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of camera should I bring to classes?

Any SLR will do. We personally prefer Canon camera. If you are looking for a good starter camera, try the Nikon D50, or the Canon Rebel. We discourage bringing point and shoot cameras to photography lessons.

What do I need to bring to class?

For the photography classes, bring your camera, lense, memory card, etc. For Photoshop classes, please bring a laptop with Photoshop already installed. We prefer versions CS2 or CS3. You can also download a trial version off of Adobe's site for 30 days.

Where are classes located?

Classes will be held at 2704 Mountain Oaks Drive, Norman (see map).

What kind of experience is required for the classes?

No experience is required, unless there is a prerequisite listed on the class descriptions page. We will assume you know nothing about photography.

How can I find out more about the instructors?

The classes are taught by Dustin & Amber Fife. You can view their photography portfolio and bio online by visiting the professional photography portfolio.

Is there any homework?

We prefer not to use the word "homework" because it has a negative connotation. We do, however, give creative assignments. Though these assignments are optional, we strongly recommend doing them since they are designed to help you advance in your photography skills and knowledge. Homework is also another way of sharing and gaining feedback from other students who are in the class.

How can I best prepare for each lesson?

The best way to prepare for your lessons is to read the assigned material before you come to class. We will breifly review the reading assignments, then we will get into more "hands-on" training.

Where do I park?

Feel free to park in our driveway or along the street.
