About Our Instructors:
Our instructors all have years of experience as professional photographers. Non of our instructors are required to teach any course or workshop, they teach because they enjoy sharing their photographic knowledge and skills. When we add a new instructor he/she not only has to be experienced in the type of photographer or computer software he/she will be teaching; he/she must attend the courses and workshops as a student first, then teach as a student instructor with an experienced instructor until we are confident he/she has the ability to teach the courses or workshops effectively. Our instructors know the material they teach and do not simply read notes or a book to students. Each instructor will give examples based on years of real world photographic experience.
What Our Courses and Workshop are Like:
Courses are multiple days and workshops are one day or a half day. We use lectures, sample photos both good and bad, and "hands-on" practice in our photography courses and workshops. Our multiple day courses will often have homework assignments that will include taking pictures, although homework is optional students are encouraged to complete the assignments. Students who complete the homework generally learn more from our courses than the other students. Our courses have several sample photos taken by instructors and students. Most of our one day workshops use sample images created during workshops by both instructors and students as well as photos created during actual photography jobs. Our instructors will generally guide courses toward the types of photography students like most by giving specifics about those photographic topics. In other words, our instructors explain ever topic in generic terms first, then give specific examples of topics as they apply to specific types of photography. If no one in a course likes sports photography but some students like portraits, other students like landscape photography and most students like wildlife photography, our instructors will not use sports photography examples when explaining a topic. Our instructors all have a sense of humor, know they are not perfect and will laugh at their own mistakes (we also enjoy students who pick on our mistakes and the bad photos we use as examples of what not to do).
If you have any questions regarding our courses and workshops please feel free to contact us. Email usually works best for course and workshop questions. Please allow a few days for us to reply as only instructors will answer questions about courses and workshops and they are our best and busiest photographers.
