Learn to photograph family traditions and holiday gatherings as they actually happen, embracing the beautiful, imperfect, and unpredictable moments along the way. Through three behind-the-scenes sessions, three editing videos, and written instruction, you'll explore a documentary approach to photography that focuses on observation, anticipation, and working with available light. Discover how to read a room, ask yourself the right questions before picking up your camera, and stay present while documenting the people and traditions that matter most. This course encourages you to let go of picture-perfect expectations and recognize the moments worth photographing that are already happening right in front of you.
