Photography Workshop – Pigeon Forge 2026

Enjoy taking photos?! The Photo Class is a series of two interactive classroom sessions centered around learning practical photography skills regardless of what camera you have. Bring any digital camera! For any skill level. Let’s go in-depth and more hands-on than a regular convention presentation. With the theme of “Deeper Than Snapshots”, we’ll explore the 5 distinct times of day in the natural world so we can take full advantage of whatever lighting situation we are shooting under. Students will then be assigned a specific photo assignment which they will have until the second session to fulfil. For conclusion, parents are invited to join us as we review the class submissions, learn what we can from the assignment experience, and leave with practical tips for growing in photography in the future. If you love snapping photos, you won’t want to miss these sessions! God has given us a love for art and beautiful things . . . let’s hone our photography skills for His glory!

Session 1: Maximizing Natural Light In Photography – Have you ever taken time to simply observe what the light was like in the natural world around you? Would you have guessed that there are 5 distinct times of day? And each one offers a host of unique opportunities for the photographer to explore! With the insights discussed in this session, you’ll be equipped with the tools you need to get out and enjoy the outdoors, prepared to make the most of every photo op regardless of the time of day.

Session 2: Tips for Helping Budding Photographers Thrive – After students have photographed the Class Assignment given in the first session, parents are invited to join us for one of the best parts of the whole Class: a live review of the photos everyone has submitted for the assignments! Not only is observing everyone’s creative perspective on the same assignments totally fun, it can be deeply insightful making it a perfect springboard for gathering practical tips for helping budding photographers grow and excel in their photography beyond the classroom.
