Have you recently bought a dSLR but find you constantly use it in Auto mode and either don’t know how or are afraid to use the other modes? Are you thinking of purchasing a dSLR but don’t know what to look for? Do you often wonder why the background tends to turn dark when you use your flash? Do you struggle with organizing and editing your photos? I can help.
Each of my private lessons is customized to your individual needs so you will get the answers to the questions that matter the most to you. It’s time to unleash the full potential of your dSLR and the true photographer in you!
Lessons can be done 1-1 or bring a friend and study together. I do recommend a minimum of 2 hours per lesson as I feel this is the minimum amount of time required to make the lesson worthwhile for you. This is even more critical for semi-private lessons as individual needs may vary. If you feel your needs can be covered in a shorter time, please use the form below to send me an email explaining your needs and I will decide if it is something that can be covered in less time. Please keep in mind that photography is not something that can be fully understood in even two hours. It will take time and practice but I can get you on the path to taking better and more satisfying photos.
