All classes are one-on-one training or small groups of

people who know each other. 

In short

I teach and instruct photography, processing, printing,

file management, studio lighting, location lighting, and 

photography business

classes.

I have a solid professional rep and more importantly, we plan and

develop strategies that meet your objectives. 

Whether it's learning the controls of the camera

or wanting to understand the finer points of

 professional level

lighting.

Class Descriptions

Introductory Photography

Learn the controls on the camera. Learn how to

evaluate light and capture accurate exposures

every time. We'll also start you on your

creative path with introductions to 

composition and processing.

Intermediate Photography

The move the manual photography. There are times when

the camera has no clue as to what you want to

achieve. So, we move to manual settings 

to configure and capture our visions. This

class steps up with more feed back and

delves deeper into composition

and the nature of strong images. 

The Night Shoot

Spend two sessions learning how to photograph

landscapes at night. The first session is how to photograph

for the night, and in the next we get together and

I'll show you how to process and reveal your

creations. Each sessions runs about two hours, but 

we usually hang out until everyone gets a

good shot.
