Review by Andrea
"This was a great photography lesson. I was highly impressed with Jon's style and matter. He is friendly and clear. I had been confused about some fundamen
tal settings of my camera, and Jon walked me through all the settings, and gave a big view of how to use my camera creatively. I have some lessons to now try out what I learned and I'll be getting back to him once I test out my new understanding. I think this is going to make photography much more fun and purposeful. I highly recommend Jon no matter where you are on your photography journey. He clearly knows his stuff, A to Z!"

I'm a recent graduate of the Boston Architectural College, and employed by a large architectural firm in Boston. I am currently teaching a Rhino 3-D course at the BAC I tutor in all aspects of architecture including portfolio design, writing, software tutoring, design critiquing, and overall academic guidance.

Lastly, I have numerous resources students can use after tutoring sessions are complete such as reference manuals, tutorials, and websites to visit for additional learn

I am a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in Piano and Film Scoring.
I love many styles which include, Film scores, Pop, New age, Rock, improv, Classical and some Jazz.
I teach basic to intermediate. (Scales, finger exercises, chords, arpeggios, theory, simple songs, posture and breathing, etc.)
Last year, I taught an eight year old girl and three boys. I currently worked at Piano Playtime where I teach twelve Kindergarten to 4th grade group piano lessons. I am fun, easy to get along with, and very patient with kids and adults.
In the past, I scored a local film titled "The Times Were Never So Bad: The Life of Andre Dubus" who's son Andre Dubus III wrote the story "The House of Sand and Fog." In 2003 the novel was adapted into a film starring Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly. The film won first place

About Jonathan S.
CloseAbout Jonathan
I will first explain the creative variables in photography, aperture, shutter speed, focal length and so forth. Then I will show you how your camera allows you to control those creative variables. You learn to boss the camera around and have a great deal of fun. I have taught all ages, along with creating a robust teaching website that you can use for free.

About Laura R.
CloseAbout Laura
Hey! I’m Laura, a natural light wedding & portrait photographer. I’ve been teaching in general for over 10 years, and specifically teaching photography for 2 years. I believe in breaking down the entire process, teaching your how to use your camera first, what aperature and ISO mean, and all of the basics so that you can shoot in manual mode to achieve the look you’re going for in every photo you take!!
Why am I a photographer? Why do I do what I do?... I believe that photos don't just capture the joy in a single moment, they can bring you joy every day. Everyone has their struggles, myself included, so it's important that we take the time to capture the moments in our lives that are filled with pure joy, beauty and excitement! Through photography, my goal is to help my clients establish a legacy of happiness; so that even on a bad day

, they look at that canvas on their wall, and are reminded of those happy feelings that automatically bring a smile to their face. Not only that, but those photos will be left for future generations - to inspire them to live their lives in the same joyous way!
I don't just capture a pretty day, I leave an impact on lives. Hopefully, through my classes, I can give you the tools to do the same for others (and for yourself)!
