Bought a great camera but still shooting on auto? Feel like your photos don’t match what you see? In a single session, I’ll have you confidently using the most important settings on your camera and understanding how to make your shots look exactly the way you want.
Most photography classes overwhelm you with technical jargon and settings to memorize. My lessons are different — I guide you through hands-on exercises where you see the results in real time and understand why your camera does what it does. What you memorize, you can forget. What you discover, you can't undiscover.
"I was very impressed with JP's ability to quickly assess my photography knowledge and then introduce missing concepts to take me to the next level. I was a little skeptical that I would get much out of a one hour private lesson, but I realized only a few minutes in that I had a lot to learn and that spending time with JP was the best way to learn it!" -Adam D., Yelp
“I've been taking photography classes from several instructors over the past 5 years. JP is BY FAR the best instructor I've found. His promise to teach intuitive use of aperture and shutter speed was fulfilled. Exactly the approach I've been searching for!” -Dee S., Yelp
"After just one hour with JP, I not only learned how to use many of my camera's functions, but I understood how cameras worked and where these functions came from. A week later I was in Paris taking beautiful pictures, playing with the 'City of Lights' in a way I never would have imagined I could." -Ryan S., Yelp
