“Poor” lighting Professional Lighting Tricks on the Cheap

Let’s face it, photography isn’t the cheapest hobby. Eric levin shows you how to get the most out of your dsLR portraits by modifying exposures, manipulating available light, and implementing shop lights and household lamps to create images you never thought possible. The student that shows the best understanding will be invited to Eric’s studio to see a professional shoot in action.

Eric is owner and operator of Elevin studios in Fort Point, Boston. He began his photography career in 2003 selling art prints on Newbury street to make extra money. Today he runs one of the most popular studios in Boston and has worked with some of the biggest names in the business including Rolling stone, Blackbook, The Boston Bruins, morgan Freeman, and Kanye West.

Under the guidance of a top chef you’ll be tasked with prepping, cooking, and presenting 12-15 dinner guests a sampling of your dishes. Roll up your sleeves, put on your sous chef coat and see if you have what it takes!

join award winning chef and restaurateur Will Gilson from garden at the Cellar for a night of farm-fresh comfort food.

If cooking isn’t your thing, sign up for $25 to be a “Behind the Line” dinner guest and get a sampling of each dish that’s created. sign up at www.bcae.org, class name “BTL dinner guest.”

COURSE CANCEllATiONSWe occasionally have to cancel classes due to low enrollment. In the event we cancel your class, you may either request a credit or a refund in full for that class or transfer into another class, space permitting. If you transfer into a class that’s more expensive than the cancelled one, you’ll be responsible for any difference in tuition or fees. If your new class is less expensive, you may request a credit or a refund of the difference.

TRANSFERSWe permit transfers from one class to another, but only if there is still space available in the new class, if both classes occur during the same term, and if you request the transfer at least five (5) business days before the first session of the class for which you’ve already registered. Transfer requests must be submit-ted in person or by phone to our student services office during normal business hours (see below). You will be responsible for any difference in tuition or materials fees if the new class is more expensive than the one from which you’re transferring; if your new class is less expensive, we’ll apply the difference as a credit towards your future registrations. Transfers are non-refundable, and no transfers are allowed for off-site classes.

WiThdRAWAlSIf you withdraw from a class at least five (5) business days before the first session, you may be eligible for a full credit or refund for the tuition and materials fee you have paid for the class.

Withdrawal requests that are received less than five (5) business days prior to the first session may qualify for a partial credit or refund, subject to additional require-ments. For details, please refer to the full withdrawal and refund policy that appears on our website: www.bcae.org.
