The Mission of Richard Stromberg's Chicago Photography Classes

What is the difference between a community center devoted to photography and a photography school in the community? "Intent!" At Richard Stromberg's Chicago Photography Classes, we teach you how to get it right in the camera in the first place - "Plus". What's the Plus? We don't just develop images we develop people through Photography. And that's our Mission.

The journey from "Photo I" through to "exhibiting" in a show is one of challenge and personal growth. The operation of the camera will be demystified of course. More importantly you will learn to "see," to see light, to see expression, to see the juxtaposition between yourself and others.

On the journey to a group show you will gain perspective of yourself and others. You will be part of a group of people whose concern is for you to do your best, and your concern will be, for them to do their best.

We will provide you with a solid platform and resources that you will be able to use for a "one person show." And on your journey of lifelong learning. Teaching is not our hobby, or part-time job, teaching and growth is what we do, it's who we are.

Learning will occur.
