Photography Series with Phil Sunkel

Spend four Thursday mornings (and one evening) photographing some of the most beautiful corners of Vero Beach's barrier island. This course is built around getting out and shooting in real conditions, with guidance and good company along the way. We will start in the quiet light of the Jungle Trail, move to the water at Round Island, work the storefronts and sidewalks of Ocean Drive, and finish under the stars for a night photography session back on the Jungle Trail.

The course is open to everyone, from beginners picking up a camera for the first time to working professionals. Whether you want to learn photography, sharpen the skills you already have, or simply enjoy the company of others who love to shoot, this is the course for you. Each session runs approximately one and a half hours and is built around hands-on shooting, with time for questions, feedback, and conversation.
