Mike MacDonald is an internationally published, professional photographic artist, specializing in the rich nature, wildlife, and landscapes of the Chicago area. His work has been published extensively in Chicago Wilderness Magazine and his photographs and how-to articles have been featured nationally in Petersen's Photographic Magazine and in Outdoor Photographer. Mike is also the creator of the GET FOCUSED! Hyperfocal Distance Calculator: a depth of field reference card that helps the landscape photographer get everything in focus.

All of the beginning classes are perfectly suited to learning photography, no matter what your favorite subject matter may be. Obviously, as a nature photographer, Mike concentrates his efforts on natural lighting situations, which applies to just about everything: children playing, travel photography, special event photography, sports, closeups of flowers, architecture, cityscapes, landscapes, wildlife, you name it.

Mike's approach to teaching photography is to offer training that goes beyond the mere fundamentals: to help you discover and develop your creative eye as a photographer and superimpose your personal style onto the image.

However, Mike realizes that there beginning photographers who are only just starting to learn photography. That's why we offer a series of beginning photography classes on such topics as how to use your digital camera and learning exposure, photographic composition, and other basic photography techniques and skills. These hands-on photography workshops allow the student to learn the fundamentals and techniques, and put them into action.

What's more, these beginning photography courses are designed to address the big issues. Instead of taking years of classes and struggling with the same problems over and over again, Mike's hands-on photography workshops concentrate on and resolve the most important and confusing topics. This will then free you up to focus on what's most fun: being creative!
