One on One Photo Class - $100
I have been asked by several of my students during the last 12 months if I offered one on one photography training class. I decided to do so. The class will consist of three hours of hands on training with you and me.
I will go over with you the basics on the operation of your camera and I will help you set up the camera to maximize its performance. Then, we will focus on how to take better pictures. Included in the training is basic theory and lighting techniques. I will share with you as much as I can in the three hours that we spend together.
I can to help you take a better photograph and become a better photographer. I love taking portraits of people and will open up a treasure trove to you on some of my techniques and ideas in order to take a great photograph.
The class will be taught in Prescott Valley, AZ. Call me for more details and to set an appointment. In addition, I will accept cash if you call me first to confirm your intentions to attend the class.
PS: Advanced payment is required prior to signing up for a class. There has been issues with Meetup not doing so and it has created some confusion. After registering for this or any class on this page and you were not charged please call me. NOTE: I have been having trouble with emails or notice from Meetup of a new student student enrollment. Please call me to confirm you registration
