Kenmore, WA Photography Lessons

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.

My name is Dan and I have enjoyed "taking pictures" since I was in high school. I presently shoot digital and enjoy working - playing! - in Photoshop and Lightroom. Learn to shoot images like these:

Take your photos from amateur to pro with the secrets on improving composition, exposure (including aperture, shutter speed and ISO), choosing the right lens for the subject, lighting (including speedlight flashes, strobes and natural light), the importance of post processing, Photoshop and photo organization and more!

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've been teaching photography for 2 years and my students have gone to photograph beautiful imagery. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to understand the fundamentals of the camera and as time goes on you'll be able to create your very own beautiful images. I specialize in People and Fine Art. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I'm Sandra. I've worked with thousands of photographers and designers – from beginners to the best in the business in print, online and video formats. I've helped them find their unique route to achieve their potential. I'm quick, honest, easy to understand; I inspire you, show you steps and help grow. I can help with technical issues but my focus is on helping you see more. In teaching college classes, my main student comment is, "I will never look at anything the same way again."

I started as a professional photographer when I was 16. Since then so many things changed, we move from film to digital, now our darkroom is digital, we have amazing cameras on our cellphones. We can work together on photography concepts which will help you to became a great photographer. You'll understand how to get the most of the equipment you already have. How to invest on things you'll really need, saving you a lot of time and money. Understand how lenses and lighting are the most important tools for a photographer. And of course you'll learn the whole digital workflow, so you can work faster and better, having effective backups plans.

Welcome to the world of Photography! Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to gain an understanding of the basics. Basics such as the exposure triangle, how to compose and pick your shots, different uses for the tools found in Photoshop and Lightroom (post processing), how to effectively use lighting, and much more. As time goes on you'll be able to retouch and stylize your photos, to give them that professional look you have been wanting. All you need to get started is a camera and your eye. I look forward to seeing you and as always stay creative!
