Our exclusive Photography Mentoring / Tutoring Program
...TEACHES YOU HOW TO MAKE PHOTOGRAPHS instead of just 'TAKING PICTURES'

Our individualized lessons in "Photography 101" are a wonderful gift to yourself or to someone you know.

There is no substitution for the value of knowledge, and there is no better way to gain that knowledge effectively than having private, customized, individualized lessons with a working professional that also knows how to teach people and work with them at their pace.

Our full course costs less, a lot less, than just many simple photo accessories and will pay for itself time and again with your advanced skills and new understanding of photgraphy.

We have a variety of approaches, and offer flexible scheduling.  Here's a good summary from a recent student:

"I came in the door to your studio knowing not much more about photography than how to press the 'button' to take a picture.  At the end of my second four-hour session you had taught me to understand the camera; all its settings; the differences and advantages of them; technical topics like depth-of-field; shutter speed; focal lengths of lenses; and so on.  When I left I felt I was able to actually 'MAKE PHOTOGRAPHS' and not just 'TAKE PICTURES'.  Thank you, this was the best investment I could have made in myself as I embark on the photography hobby and maybe someday even as a career ." 



We structure programs at the beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels based on what each student already knows and what they want to learn.
