LEARN
At Zeff Photo Supply, we believe in the power of photography, and we encourage everyone to take photos of the important (and not-so-important) moments in their lives. But many of us need help. We all want to take better photos, but we need help understanding the new digital technology. We need help figuring out the many different buttons, settings and menus on our cameras. What lenses work best? How about flashes and lighting? And if we can learn how to print our photos, what do we do with them? Do we create photo albums? Scrapbooks? Calendars? Is our work good enough to display?
With so many questions, Zeff Photo Supply recognized the need to create a resource center. That’s why we launched Zeff U, the education initiative here at Zeff Photo Supply. Through seminars, lecture series, workshops, demos and store events, we hope to provide learning opportunities to everyone, at all skill levels.
So whether you just bought your first digital camera, or you’re a seasoned pro, you can still learn something new about photography. We are always adding classes, and registration is ongoing so keep checking back…we’re sure you’ll find a class that’s right for you!
