I can cover just the photo/camera end for you. And, or, can teach you the digital computer skills you need to bring you images to the next level.

I will teach you how to reveal your own photographic "eye". That is, now to use the camera as an extension of your expression, how to take what you see, and put inside a frame.

I teach photography concepts from the art form, and from basic through advanced technical and aesthetic.

You will learn how a camera lens is much much more than just a zoom closer/farther tool for your scene. The lens you choose is vital towards helping you achieve the vision you are bringing to your work. Camera exposure is similar.

I will also teach you how to "see" your scene or subject as "values" of shades of black, white, and the grays between. This ...

Hands on instruction on manual camera settings (ISO, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, etc.). Framing the subject from different angles. And most importantly, how to see light the way your camera sees it.

I have been using my Canon DSLR camera for 4 years now, primarily focusing on shooting architecture and landscapes. I can teach the basics of how to frame a shot using simple rules such as the rule of thirds, and more technical terms such as shutter speed and aperture settings to create proper lighting settings and depth of field.

I have been a professional photographer for the past 8 years, providing portraiture, retail and commercial photography services. Additionally my studio facilitates photography workshops on various subjects as well as providing mentoring services for new and up and coming photographers. I structure my lessons to make sure students learn the skills they are hoping to learn while providing a strong foundation in photography fundamentals, technique, and creativity.

Photography is one of my favorite passions! Feel free to take lessons with me on: the workings of the camera, the history of photography, how to get a great shot! I have designed a curriculum that targets all of the basic-intermediate aspects in photography! Start with me today to start with a 5, 10 or 15+ lesson course!

I am a professional photographer based in Miami, FL. I have been teaching all aspects of photography, from basic skills & techniques to advanced lighting, post-processing (Lightroom & Photoshop), as well as the logistics of the business side of photography for the past 7 years.
