If You’re Going to do Something,

Do It Well!!

Digital Photography Training

Photography has been an important part of my life for the past 5 years. I am pretty well self-taught in almost everything associated with the Art of Photography. Allow me to share with you the information I have gathered and used. We can do one-on-one or group training. Since we are still dealing with the Pandemic, face-to-face training will not occur until we return back to normal life, however we can do Zoom meetings if you can’t wait to get started.

We will cover all of the aspects of photography that will take you away from a point and shoot or camera phone into the Art of Photography where you determine the outcome, not your camera or phone. If you are looking to take great smartphone photos this training will be meaningless. However, lets learn about the exposure triangle, aperture settings, depth of field, focus methods, and more, where your skill will determine the outcome.

I offer 2 levels of photography training, with the Novice level starting at ground zero. If you already have a base of knowledge, we can design a training to pick up where you previously left off.

The digital editing course will help you to turn a great photo into a stunning photo with some minor tweeks.
