Photography Extravaganza II: October 2, 2010 (7AM - 5PM)

It is a one-day event of photography enjoyment with hands-on, show & tell, and personal sessions.

You will have the opportunities to learn and practice the latest tips with wildlife, landscape, model shoot, and portraiture photography. Get new ideas about how to present your photographs and make a book. And finally get inspired when you get your work reviewed and you listen to a panel of experts.

The first enrollment option is to take advantage of the "Day Pass". It guarantees you a seat at all the sessions, and you don't have to worry about lining up your schedule, as we'll plan it for you.

The other option is to choose individual session(s) and select a time slot.

After you submit your enrollment, you'll receive an email confirming your sessions and an invoice for the paying sessions. Your schedule will be finalized after payment.

NOTE: If your desired session is sold out, first check if it is available under the "Day Pass" enrollment or email Oliver to be wait listed.

Thanks for joining this adventure and supporting the photography kids program at PhotoCentral (all proceeds of Extravaganza II will be donated to the program).
