Class(es) can be online, in person at our New England location, or at your location.

An experience created for you, focused on your goals

The individual classes and workshops are specifically designed for each individual or specific small group. The classes can be as simple as reviewing your camera and its features or assisting you to be prepared for your photography trip. You tell SKÖNPHOTO what you want to accomplish, and a program will be designed to meet your needs.

SKÖNPHOTO offers classes online or in person around the world so you can view destinations such as this plant covered pergola shown here in black and white.

Online or in person (globally)

Online classes are normally held on Zoom, so there can be two-way discussions.  These classes focus on your needs and your camera.  Most classes have a technology aspect but are in layman's language, so you can completely understand and practice the instructions/suggestions.  Many people prefer these classes because they are taken in the comfort of their own home, and able to ask questions and then practice at their leisure. All of our classes are cost and time effective.

Individual or small group workshops are typically held in New Hampshire and Vermont because of the diverse and beautiful scenery. Yet, SKÖNPHOTO knows there are gorgeous locations, such as the desert Southwest, Washington and Oregon, Southeast Florida with its incredible wildlife, and underwater photography, the Canadian Rockies, and Alaska. SKÖNPHOTO also offers small group photography workshops in Sweden and Finland, Central and Latin America, and South East Africa, to name a few destinations. All of these trips have limited spaces in order that every participant receives individual attention and is able to maximize their skills.  

SKÖNPHOTO will also come to you or an interested group for onsite photography classes or workshops to practice in your area. Just ask for details!
