Photography Classes

The Boulder Junction Public Library is offering free photography classes with local artist and photographer, David Mayeau, on Saturday mornings from 9am to Noon. The classes will be held in the Boulder Junction Community Center. The first class will be held Saturday, January 11 and will focus on purchasing a camera. The next classes will be held on January 25, February 1,8, 15 & 22 and will cover Photography 101. Participation is free, but registration is required, and class size is limited to 30 people. Registration is online only.

The January 11 class will be Purchasing a Camera. Mayeau will discuss the differences and what to look for in a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) or Mirrorless camera. Participants will learn about lenses and what kind of pictures are taken with them.  This class will help participants gain insight and confidence to purchase a camera. Participants should bring a notebook to take notes and a camera phone if needed to capture a photo for later referral. Please note that participants will be required to bring their own camera for the Photography 101 classes.

The Photography 101 Classes will need to be taken in progression. In other words, participants will need to register for all 5 classes. Each participant’s best photo will be entered into the library’s March Art in the Library Exhibit. Required equipment for the classes are a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) or Mirrorless camera and 2 sets of fresh batteries.

Participation is free, but registration is required, and class size is limited to 30 people. To register for the class online, visit the event page at https://www.boulderjunctionlibrary.org/events/ and click on the event listing. For more information, please call the library at 715-385-2050.
