IMPORTANT NOTICE: Since I schedule classes through other outlets my availability varies. I've marked availability only to make my profile visible to potential students so, the availability you see is not my actual availability. Since my availability is never fixed and I'd like to avoid disappointing booking experiences, please contact me at 202-559-7981 to check my availability. If we can confirm a meeting time, I'll mark that availability on the Take Lessons site and you can book and confirm our meeting through there.

Thank you for considering me in your search for photography instruction.
It doesn't matter whether you use a film or digital camera. The camera is a tool that you use to create photographs.
During your photography class with me youâÂÂll learn to use your camera and youâÂÂll learn the skills that you need to
use your camera effectively and with confidence.
If youâÂÂre just getting started or a more advanced photographer, I offer a variety of photography courses that are geared toward a wide range of skill levels and interests.
My approach to teaching has been shaped by my photography teachers and by my experience working as a professional photographer. While I learned a lot about the craft of photography from good teachers, I learned to be a photographer by using my camera and mindfully applying what I learned from my teachers during the process of creating a photograph.
I think the best way to learn something is to learn by doing it and I make sure that we have plenty of time to practice what we cover during our time together in class. If youâÂÂre in a multi-week class, youâÂÂll get homework too. Homework aimed at getting you to utilize the lessons we cover in class so you can create photographs that are uniquely your own.
As a participant in my photography classes youâÂÂll get a good understanding of the material being presented in addition to hands on practical experience. What you wonâÂÂt get are my judgments about your work, instead youâÂÂll be encouraged to formulate your own opinions about your work and then IâÂÂll offer you guidance based on your personal goals in photography.
Whether you are using a film SLR, a digital SLR (DSLR ), or another type of camera, IâÂÂll help you to be the best photographer that you can be.
Courses are offered in Washington, DC or online. Private instruction and custom group workshops are also available.

About David
I have a bachelors degree in printmaking and oil painting and spent some time in Florence, Italy studying painting and drawing by studying the High Renaissance masters. Currently I draw and paint in my spare time. I love teaching art as a way to connect with other artist and creative people who like talking about and creating art.
Through introducing or reviewing the fundamental principles in art and applying those to the lessons and exercises I assign for after class hours, you’ll see yourself improve week after week and gain more confidence in your artistic ability. I create a custom syllabus for you to review and work in things you’d like to try, certain mediums or subject matter to make it more appealing to you.
Making art should be fun and restorative! I’m very flexible in meeting your needs and speed at which you want to learn.

About Isabela
I'm an enthusiastic learner even after 19 years of formal education (two Masters, one Bachelor) earned on two continents continued by US military education in various forms, and formally tested student who needed to document skills that were not formally captured on paper (like the foreign languages I know).
I love interacting with people and pass on my knowledge from five visited continents, instill love for learning and continuous curiosity for any subject out there. Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it. Failing once doesn't mean that you'll never win (proof in my athletic years and life ever since); determination, hard work, self-motivation and a good supporting system can bring to reality even the most insignificant dreams that we believe may not come true, and especially those in which we passionately trust.

lieve in breaking down a goal into objectives, assigning tasks to each one of them, and then sticking to achieve them.
I'm a Certified Instructor with the Department of Homeland Security. My hobbies include practicing foreign languages by speaking them, learning about cultures and slangs, etymology, watching foreign movies, traveling internationally, taking photos, reading (a lot), carefully planning with room for error and impulsive decisions (to take the boredom out of things), meeting with life long friends, drawing, painting, and spending time outdoors for inspiration.
I'm elated at the opportunity of brainstorming with you and giving you tools to be an independent learner.

Hi there! My name is Leigh and I take photos and videos for a living! I also teach yoga to kids and adults! Sometimes I get to combine my loves, and take photos and videos during all sorts of yoga classes. I've worked with kids many times, and am currently teaching a music video production class to a group of 3rd-5th graders. I've taught photography and photo editing classes before, at a summer camp that I used to work at in New York State. I would absolutely love to share my love of technical photography and editing with you!

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 Jayla
Welcome :)
When I was young, I was a fairly shy child. When I was introduced to art, it helped me out of my shell and allowed me to blossom into the person I am today. As I grew, I've learned a wide variety ort mediums to help me express my emotions in different ways. Soon becoming advance in, drawing, painting, animation, realism, writing (spoken word, poetry, rap etc), and proficient in digital design and multimedia. By the time I was 13, I had begun my journey of giving back by helping others learn to express themselves through different forms of art. Holding classes at summer camps and various branches of libraries in the DMV Area.
