About Pat
My name is Pat Guard and I have been a professional photographer for more than 40 years. I first used a film SLR camera at the age of 6 (it was a Leica with a Zeiss lens) and have been fascinated with cameras ever since! I achieved my CPP with the Professional Photographers of American in 1983. I did my Master's work in Photography at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX.
I have photographed people for images as small as passports and as large as weddings in Europe. I have photographed products from food to skyscrapers for companies as big as Coca Cola and Club Corporation of America. I love everything to do with photography and hope this comes across in the course.
I love helping people feel good about themselves. I love capturing good times in people's lives. I love sharing my knowledge and my love for photography.
I have been in business in my current studio in Kingwood for 23 years. Before that time I worked on the road for the Sheraton Corporation, Coca Cola Corporation and Club Corporation of America. I received my Certified Professional Photographer certification in 1980 from the Professional Photographers of America. I have taught many classes for the PPA and for the Texas Photographers Association and lectured in several location in Louisiana. I did my Masters work in Photography at Sam Houston State in Huntsville, TX.

This 3-Hour course is designed to help you understand the power locked into your DSLR. I will help you discover what all the features and functions actually do and when it is best to use them. After all, camera manufacturers have spent decades getting these features spot on...why waste all that effort by staying in Auto Mode?
If you think photography is fun now, wait until you really understand your camera at the end of this course for beginners. You will see the world entirely differently and get so much more from your photography...guaranteed!
You will learn...
Exposure Triangle - Learn the correlation between ISO, shutter speed and aperture
Camera modes - Auto, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, sports, landscape, close up, portrait
Everyday shooting - What to look for and how to shoot it
Composition - Don't just stand there! Learn how to "see" a photo just about anywhere!
Lenses - You have the ability to add just about any lens to your new camera, you now need to understand what you need and why
Lighting - Probably the single most important aspect of any art form
Flash photography - Understand how the light works and how you can control it
Cleaning and maintenance - With DSLR's comes dust. Learn how it battle it.
By the end of the day you should feel confident enough to switch off of Auto and really start to get the most out of your camera. At the end of this course, you will want to have your camera with you 24/7.
