Richard Stromberg's Photography Classes kick off a new seven-week session beginning Sunday, January 1st. If you're serious about learning photography, this just might be the place for you. Start with our free, 90-minute workshop held on select Saturdays and each Sunday starting at High Noon.

We offer classes weekdays, weeknights and weekends. BASIC CAMERA OVERVIEW & FOUR FACTORS OF CORRECT EXPOSURE! Imitated but never equaled, Richard's Free 90 minute workshop was designed to teach people about their cameras and allow someone a picture of what Richard's classes are truly like. Starting at High Noon each Sunday, this energetic 90 minute workshop will keep your attention. A free notebook is provided for you to take notes. As always, the only accent here is on learning. If you have a new Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, need a refresher or have never attended a photography class, This Is The Workshop To Attend. If you are thinking of purchasing a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) or Film (SLR) our camera experts will help you to understand what is important and what's not important in a DSLR camera, or a film SLR Camera - with interchangeable lenses. We know where the best prices are in the country, and if you want to save some money and buy a used camera, we know which ones to stay away from. You will learn basic DSLR camera operation: an overview of your camera controls, use of your camera's exposure meter, a discussion about which lens is the best value. No worries if you have a film camera because those cameras are covered as well. Be sure to bring a camera as well as your camera manual if you have one. If you do not have a camera, don't worry, be happy, a camera will be provided for you to use during the workshop. Compare us with others and decide for yourself. Does Richard's 40 years of teaching experience, make a difference? At Richard Stromberg's Chicago Photography Classes our only Accent is on Learning. We won't try to sell you caps or t-shirts with our logo on it. We won't ask you for contributions or charge you to attend a party - for a Shows Opening. We Will, teach and work with you, to foster a safe community where you will learn something each time you walk through the door. Richard **** 7/1/10 As Always - Laughter Will Be Heard & Learning Will Occur ;-) WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR SUMMER! ;-) Richard Stromberg's Photography Classes kick off a new seven-week session beginning the week of Sunday, July 18th. Take a look at ****. If you're serious about learning photography, this just might be the place for you. Start with our free, 90-minute workshop starting at High Noon on select Saturdays and each Sunday. Use our free camera-buying service and learn how to make the best camera purchase for your needs. Then join us for our seven-week classes, offered in Chicago, Oak Park and Park Ridge. We offer classes weekdays, weeknights and weekends. WHY ARE CLASSES DIFFERENT AT CHICAGO PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES? Why do you get more for your money here? What is value? Is it all, just about price?.......... Well, NOT QUITE! We don't follow the "health club" business model. You know the one. They take your money up front, and if you don't stick with it, that's your problem. With Photo I, our first class is Free. Always. And if you don't like the experience, No Salesperson Will Call. We don't fill our classrooms with as many people as the room will hold. No "coach" seating here, (three abreast, aisle in the middle). No slide shows either, the only person that ever learned anything from a slide show is the person that produced the slide show. It's too easy to get lost in a large class. It's just human nature for an "artsy" teacher to gravitate to the brightest light in the room. It takes teaching experience and attention to detail to be sure everyone in the room "gets it." For more than 30 years, our ratio of 1 teacher for every 5 students in our Labs, has been the most effective teaching model in Chicago and the Midwest. You are not just another body to help us meet our monthly nut. We pay close attention to each student, and if you're having trouble "getting it," we'll spend as much time with you as necessary. Our computer facilities are spacious, four feet of space for each work station, no cramming! Stop by to tour our facilities: two computer labs, with 26 computers (PCs and iMacs); a film darkroom; seven "best in class" archival Epson Printers, a Lighting Studio; large classrooms, with padded arm chairs on wheels; and our "WithInSight Gallery" where we have student shows twice a year. We provide all Photo I students with their own 50-sheet box of archival paper for their prints, with notebooks and handouts, at no additional charge. We have ample Free parking seven days a week. The Photo II & III students have 24-hour, seven-days-a-week access to our facilities. You see, this is a community of people focused on learning and teaching Photography. No elitism, no attitude, no rules or restrictions that get in the way of learning. No "membership" fee. Our students & staff have no restrictions on which paper surface they use, Matt, Glossy or even Fine Art. Finishing classes with Richard & his teachers will give you real skills to use on your journey of lifelong learning. Attend classes once a week with Richard and his colleagues, along with a weekly lab session, and in nine months you'll be ready to participate in one of our group shows. Our " WithInSight Gallery" is not for others, our Gallery is for showcasing and selling our students work and the work of the Teachers and Photographers in our community. We don't have rigid hours. We stay as late as we need to after class and we open each day hours before the classes begin. Every student gets extra time if they need it. Richard is available to students seven days a week, at times that are convenient for you. Everyone gets Richard's cell phone number and you may call or text him 24 hours a day. Richard even has someone answering his phone when he's teaching. All prospective students are encouraged to attend our free 90-minute workshop, offered each weekend, before they sign up for classes. Our first Photo I class is free, regardless. No salesperson will call. Throughout all of our Programs Richard, (our vintage teacher) uses his 45 years of photography & teaching experience for the benefit of his students. Which camera to buy? Where is the best price? Which are the best lenses? Which are the best-used cameras and lenses, and how much should they cost? Are you getting all of the classes you paid for? In four decades, Richard has established the most recognized photo programs in Chicago, attracting more than 20,000 students. So Richard and his fellow teachers won't try to impress you. They're here to teach you, to help you learn and grow and find your own unique artistic center. At Richard Stromberg's Chicago Photography classes where "good enough" is NOT. We help you make the world's most important photographs. Yours. Our guarantee: Laughter will be Heard & Learning will Occur ;-)
