History

My business started in 2006 and I was mainly helping students apply and successfully get into different photo programs as well as critique their work and help them put together a body of work. Since this time I have taught over 500 people how to use their DSLR camera both in the classroom and through personal instruction. I have continued to work with people wanting feedback on their ideas/concepts, getting ready for a show and/or applying to art programs and taking their ideas and images to a new level.

Specialties

Individual and group photography instruction in learning how to use your camera, better understanding composition or looking at editing photography, learning your DSLR camera and putting together work for a show or exhibit. I also work with people on applying to undergraduate or graduate art programs.

Mateo was great! I took his private 2 hr lesson and learned everything I wanted to know and more. No way I would have learned all of that from YouTube videos. He even spent about 30 mins extra...
