California Center for Photography

www.californiacenterforphotography.com - Professional-level photography training located in Orange County California. View our website for upcoming courses!

We welcome both the beginner and advanced photographer for in-person and on-location workshops. The California Center for Photography (previously known as the California Center for Digital Art) is more than a collection of useful equipment, studios, classrooms, and top-flight teachers. We are a student resource for beginners, and a source of inspiration for advanced image/video creators developing

new, or expanding, visual voices. We are a place where students learn to think in visual terms; we ground ourselves in the fundamentals, and revel in those wonderful ‘ah-ha!’ moments when a student grasps concepts that turn into incredible images.

Back-to-school season has started, but we're still not over this past summers camera roll!

As kids across Southern California head back to school, we're flashing back to our favorite week this last summer... California Center for Photography Kids Summer Camp!

Our campers walked away with understanding lighting, camera settings, and telling a visual story! We walked away with great memories and inspiration from these young artists!

Let's be real: taking great photos in camera is only half the battle. If you've upgraded to shooting in RAW it's time to start processing those photos using a digital darkroom.
Adobe Lightroom Classic remains the industry standard for the heavy lifting of processing and organizing thousands of RAW files.

Whether you're brand new to photography or years into your craft, LR Classic remains the one software all photographers should be using.

💻 Non-Destructive Organization: LR Classic's catalog system lets you rate, tag, and organize thousands of photos without ever altering the original RAW files.

💻 Global and Local AI Masking: LR's modern AI masking allows for quick edits of isolated subjects or backgrounds.

💻 True-to-Life Exporting: LR Classic allows for total control of your exports to ensure color and quality matching.

Ready to take the leap and jump into LIGHTROOM? Join us for a full-weekend workshop that covers A to Z.
