Don't Blame the Camera!

For more than 25 years, Stu Estler has been taking photographs for advertising, newspapers and magazines like The Washington Post, Chesapeake Home, Spaces and many others.  Now, Estler has affiliated himself with Workamper University to teach the essential elements of great photography online.   

 Estler says “My clients rely on me to make emotional images which capture the imagination of their viewers.  These courses were developed from all of the knowledge, experience, techniques and a few tricks from my photography career, in order to teach others to do what I do to get the best results from their camera.”   

Digital photography gives a person the ability to instantly see results without the cost of film and processing.  Although digital cameras allow a person to try and try again, most people are still disappointed with their images. The first instinct is to blame the camera.  However, two people with the same camera can stand side-by-side, photographing the same subject, and have an entirely different result.  One person’s photo is dramatic, emotionally-charged while the other photo turns out completely unremarkable.

Stu continues, “The ability to understand the elements of great photography is not inherent or magical.  What makes the difference is learning the skills to take compelling images.” 

No matter what kind of digital camera is being used, applying basic techniques that Stu Estler, the Photo Mentor will teach online through Workamper University, will greatly improve the average Joe or Jane’s satisfaction with their photos.  The essential elements to great photography, Estler says, are “light, composition, design elements, camera techniques and equipment.”  Even when nature doesn’t cooperate, Estler says that there are tips and tricks to get great results. 

Steve Anderson, President of Workamper News, Inc. is thrilled to have Stu Estler on board.  The first of four weekly sessions is scheduled for March 9, 2011. The course is titled the “Creative Eye Webinar Series.”   Anderson notes “The best thing about Estler affiliating with Workamper University, is that our students can take their photography to the next level right from the comfort of their own home…or RV.”

Each class is recorded and accessible online from the Workamper University Webinars site so that each session can be replayed whenever it is convenient for the student.  On March 30^th, a live Question and Answer segment will be held at 7 p.m. CST.

About Workamper News

Workamper News began as a subscription newsletter distributed to a niche market.  The term Workamper, a registered trademark, was coined to describe anyone who combines any kind of work with the RV camping lifestyle.  Designed to put mostly retired or semi-retired RVers and employers together,  campground jobs was the initial focus In 1987, the year that Greg and Debbie Robus formed Workamper News in Heber Springs, Arkansas.   Additional copies were distributed to a variety of commercial campgrounds, government agencies and organizations affiliated with the outdoor industry.  As the Workamper base grew and more jobs meant more pages, the newsletter became a full-fledged magazine. Today, the issues generally contain at least 62 pages of information about job vacancies from coast to coast and some in Canada, as well as features on great Workamping destinations, Workamper and Employer profiles, and general information pertaining to Workamping and Rving.  The introduction of the world wide web enabled Workamper News to expand its services in 1996, and through the years, online subscriptions and optional participation in a variety of forums, webinars, Hotline job advertisements, bookstore, email services and more has created a membership based organization with over 12,000 members. Today, Workamper News is a corporation owned and hands-on managed by Steve and Kathy Jo Anderson with nine employees and numerous independent partners. Having purchased the business in 2005, they continue to expand the opportunities to both Workampers and Employers. Their daughter, Jody Anderson Duquette joined the Company in 2006 after earning a graphic design degree.  Techie-husband Luke Duquette, came on board in 2010.  In February, the business model changed from subscriber based to membership based.
