The Museum School at the Cape Cod Museum of Art presents:

Master Your Camera Settings & Discover Creativity with Heather Pillar 

(4) Wednesdays, October 16 – November 6, from 3:00 – 5:00 pm.

Member $150 / Non-Member $165

Have a camera with manual settings sitting in your closet?  Unlock its potential and your creativity with this interactive, educational course! We start in the classroom to learn the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, and ISO for each situation. Then we will go on mini-field trips to practice photographing creatively with manual settings. We learn best by doing! Please bring your camera with manual settings to class each time (and your camera manual too - if you can find it).

Heather Pillar, photographer and teacher, has lived, taught and photographed in seven countries over four continents during the past 25 years.  Her personal and collaborative photographic projects reveal her ongoing interest in women, girls' education, and aging.

In 1995, Heather collaborated with Morrie Schwartz during the last six months as he battled ALS. Her first monograph, Memento Morrie:  Images of Love and Loss (Daylight Books, 2024) illustrates Morrie's philosophies through photographs of him interacting with family, friends, and caregivers and building community. Over a quarter-century later, Morrie's wisdom resonates with people around the world due to the best-selling memoir: Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. Morrie taught people, including Heather - how to live fulfilling lives with love. “It is by facing fears of death that we learn how to live.”

Heather's photographs have been exhibited internationally as well as published in numerous newspapers and magazines such as People Magazine and The Boston Globe;  books include The Wisdom of Morrie, Tuesdays with Morrie and Morrie:  In His Own Words. Her work has also appeared on television (CBS Sunday Morning, Today Show) and online – NPR, Next Avenue (AARP) and on PBS’s Inside E Street.
