Happy with your shiny phone's pics quality but lack creativity and advanced control?

The online Digital Photography for Moms class is for you!
This three-hour intensive workshop will tell you all about digital photography and how you can finally put your camera's potential to use.
I'm Ed from Zorz Studios. A professional photographer since 2006, I've been teaching creative photography to middle and high school students for years, as well as to professional photographers via PPA. Then thought, why not bring my knowledge online to my little photo school, Zorzkool?
A number of my mom-clients were asking me if I could teach the basics to them. They were sharing the nuisance of owning an advanced camera that collects more dust than inspiring photos from a family vacation. So I put together all my training materials and expertise and custom-tailored them for moms! And this will go beyond the basics.
