Photography Courses

Course approval comes with EFA approval for a camera and necessary accessories for the course.

My desire is to get my students the best camera package I can within EFA guidelines. After teaching the course in the past and dealing with constant issues with students having trouble getting cameras approved or receiving the wrong gear from other vendors, I decided to start offering my course with the camera package included. This eliminates the middle man to help ensure cameras arrive as quickly as possible in time for the course, that students receive the best possible gear for the price, and that they are receiving what they actually need.

    • Canon Rebel T7

    • 18-55mm lens

    • 32MB SD card

    • SD card reader

    • Camera bag

    • Lens cloth/cleaner

    • UV protective lens filter

    • Standing tripod

6-week course meets weekly. New courses begin in January, March, June, and October.

This course meets once per week for six weeks in Conway. The first part of each lesson is instruction, followed by time to practice the concepts learned afterward. The location changes each time to allow students experiences shooting in various places.

In addition, with registration in in-person course you will also receive access to the online course. It includes all the lesson videos and access to the class Padlet, a forum to share photos and receive feedback and assessment.

This course includes an approved camera within EFA guidelines. A Canon DSLR camera and kit lens with all accessories required for the course will be provided.

  • The timeline for EFA approval varies. Once EFA approves the camera, it typically takes about a week for the product to arrive. It does require a signature to be delivered.

  • Being a reseller through EFA can be challenging due to the long wait times for approval and fulfillment. When payment comes through, I have to contact my sales rep to get the product quoted and fulfilled, and the price I'm quoted can vary from one time to the next. There are many variables, but I always make sure I am pricing items fairly. Fulfilling products through EFA does take quite a bit of time on my end, so I do offer enough margin to make a small profit to compensate for my time. But my goal is always to get my students the best camera package I can. At times this allows me to get an extra lens or another extra item with the package, but it all depends on what my reps are able to get for me at time of approval.
