Workshops

Workshops at Brooklyn Creative are designed to help you become a better photographer by providing an intensive, hands on experience with an abundance of individual attention.

We’ll show you how to take creative control of your camera—getting you past the automatic setting and into the deeper, more creatively liberating functions—while at the same time providing a solid foundation in the basics of photography.  We'll also be introducing new workshops and courses beginning this fall, like screenprinting, video editing, life drawing and portfolio development.
