Jillian offers photography workshops for those who prefer learning by seeing how it’s done and then doing it by taking photos and then getting feedback on photos taken from Jillian & the other workshop participants!
Workshop participants have found Jillian’s teaching style and photography experience to be very helpful in helping them to better understand aspects of photography like the exposure triangle that they had previously struggled with understanding!
Past workshops have included Photography Basics for Local Businesses 3 Day Virtual Workshop hosted in partnership with the City of Charlottesville Office of Economic Development.
