Homework

As this is an ongoing class, students can attend any time when they feel that they need pointers or want to join in the photography community. I will ask that each student bring something to share or even a question to ask.

Class Experience

What should you expect from this ongoing class?

-I will be here to offer photography advice, offer project ideas and answer questions about photography and cameras.
-We will go over techniques to better our photography.
-Students will have the opportunity to share their photos and get constructive feedback and enjoy seeing work from other students.
-This is a time for discussion and sharing of photography and inspiration in a free club setting.
- It is structured as a social club for students interested in learning more about photography, getting ideas about their own work, or how to start taking pictures.
-It is be a judgement free zone for young photographers who consider themselves to be beginners or intermediate level to share their work, get input from a teacher and fellow students. 
-I will offer camera specific advice, ways to accomplish your goals with your photos, and discuss everyone's work and goals. I will also offer examples using my own work and photography experience.

*Since this is an ongoing class, students are free to join at any time and attend as many of the classes as they would like. 
For example: Did you take some pictures and you need some advice? Come to photography club! Need a break until you have some work you want to share? Come back in a week! That's ok too!

Any student joining photography club should have a camera that they are working with, some pictures to share, and an interest in photography.

Learning Goals

My goal with this class is to build a young photography community where students can get together to gain insight, experience and have fun learning about photography.

Other Details

Parental Guidance

Since students are asked to bring their own work, I require that all photos be free of violence or explicit content. Please make sure that your learner's computer permissions allow for screen sharing. If you are not comfortable with your learner sharing screen to share their photos, they are welcome to send their photos to me (through Outschool) and I will share my screen for them.

External Resources

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Hello there! 
Who am I?! 
Hi! I'm Tamea! I'm a photographer and I have been a professional photographer for more than 10 years. In that time I am proud to have been published in Billboard Magazine, in Calendars, on clothing and merchandise, and publications around the world. I specialize in travel, live events, and portrait photography and I bring each of these specialities to my classes. I have been teaching and sharing my love of photography for years, and I am glad to be here to share my love of photography with your learner!

Thanks to wonderful teachers I have had in my life, I went from taking pictures and developing them in a dark room for fun, to taking pictures that were published around the world. 

I welcome you to see my work at photobytamea.com. While we will focus on many kinds of photography in class, you can see samples of my own work here. 

In my photography classes, I will use hands on activities and kind critiques to advance learning and confidence in taking pictures. 


When I am not here, I am always with my cameras and take pictures even on my days off. My favorite photo adventures always include my puppy, Chaplin, who loves to tag along. She will be in some of my photo examples in classes. She's a cutie!

General Class Policies:

- Most important! My classroom is a safe and inclusive place! Learners are expected to treat each other with kindness and respect. Bullying will not be tolerated and I reserve the right to remove any student who treats other learners disrespectfully. 
- If a scheduled class does not meet the minimum enrollment, I may contact the parent approximately 24 hours before class time to offer to either transfer their learner to a new day and time. If requested, I may choose to teach the class at the original time.
- Classes will begin on time, even if all learners have not yet arrived. 
- If no learners are present in the classroom, I will wait 10 minutes into the scheduled time before exiting the classroom. This will be considered a Student no show.
- If I am late because of having technical challenges myself, I will offer to stay late to make up the missed time, or transfer learners to a new session.
-Please note: Outschool requires verification of each learner. This means that unless Outschool has verified your learner, I will require learners to turn on their live cameras for a beginning of class check in. If cameras are not working or learners are not comfortable with this, please contact Outschool help for verification before class begins. Learner's may be placed in the waiting room while they are resolving their camera issues. I will not offer transfers or refunds in the event that this policy is not followed. This is for the safety and security of learners on the platform.
