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'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!”

I’m excited to have you discover how your camera works so you can be truly creative with your photography, without limits.
