PCU, short for Precision Camera University, is our education and community outreach program. This PCU Weekend is a two-day, hands-on photography workshop getaway. We're bringing in some of the best instructors from around the country so that you can spend the weekend knee deep in photography!

We have 4 great instructors coming into town, and you will spend 4 hours with each of them. The teaching styles will vary, but each workshop will feature a mixture of seminar and shooting time.

Instructors

About the instructors and their workshops: 

• Sponsored by Fuji: Aaron Anderson

 Aaron Anderson Visuals started back in 2009 with a camera and a speedlight. My goal was to create images that people wanted to stare at, even if they weren't sure why. This seemingly simple goal took me to the Academy of Art in San Francisco, where I spent countless hours in the studio and sitting behind a screen in Photoshop. After school I worked as a retoucher at Sugar Digital. Sugar gave me incredible experience working with clients like Coca-Cola, ESPN the magazine, Tazo, Google and more.  I emerged a different photographer and retoucher, with new skills and a distinct style.
