Training

South 40 Creative Pro

< Back to Creative Pro

There is so much to photography. Many facets of capturing the moment can be manipulated by the photographer, while others are simply part of the moment you are capturing. To share her love of photography, South 40 owner and professional photographer Ann Thoni offers classes to introduce (for beginners) and enhance (for established photographers) some of the specific aspects of professional photography. Ann has chosen subjects which photographers can control, those skills which demonstrate true photographic aptitude. She also acknowledges that not all students learn best in the same culture, and offers several ways to take classes, each covering the same material and differing only in their environment.

Creative Pro Teaching Types

Hands-on

South 40 Photographer Ann Thoni offers private on-site training or photographers excited to expand their knowledge in photography. Customized classes for both the beginning and seasoned photographer, a private class allows the student to progress through the content efficiently, achieving great results! Classes are held at XXXXX (any more details about location?)

Classroom

There is so much value to learning in groups! When you register for a South 40 group classroom photography workshop, you benefit from the encouragement from your fellow students, teamwork, and balance of self-directive learning with the social interaction in this setting. This arrangement also provides for more detailed questions and collaboration. We will cover the same material as in a private lesson, with only location as the difference, being held in a classroom setting.

Private

If you have a group (minimum XXXX registrants) of fellow photographers who want to take one of our classes, reach out to us for a privately-scheduled class, designed specifically for your party’s experience level. We can reserve the classroom time for your group (can they set this up as a “celebration” atmosphere?) so you and your colleagues can learn the topic together in a semi-private atmosphere!
