Real Photography classes for Real People. 

I get booked by motivated people who do not have the time to sort through dozens of features and functions, yet still want great photos from their beloved cameras.  My from-the-hip teaching style is hands-on, a bit nutty and laser focused on building confidence with today’s bonkers camera technology. My students eyes light up; they get a solid start the right way, after all, there is a right way to do this. 

In case you haven’t noticed…Cameras are getting a LOT better and festooned with fancy features. The interfaces and menus are mind numbing. Yet, cameras still work the same way as they did when they were created in the 1850’s. From film to digital, cameras are better than ever. Sadly, good photography is a casualty in the current “hardware wars” drowning the online camera learning streams. A bunch of shit about technical stimulation, precious little about the craft and benefit of practice.   

Here in Silicon Valley, I have savored decades of tech adventures as a photographer. In my photograsphy classes, I have observed how people learn digital camera technology. Whether you’re looking to jump into photography for the first time or dive deeper into advance your chosen skillset, PhotoTrainer will help you splendidly. Did you know that 30% of our brain is devoted to processing visual images? Even when we sleep; we imagine. 

In my photography classes, I teach photography differently.

First, I provide quality in-person learning.

Second, I curate, for you the most useful functions on your camera for you to practice the art of photography. I have read all the manuals so you do not have to. Jumper cables for your creative battery. 

Third, (and this is the hard part) I will get you started in the flow of practice. Yes, the remaining ingredient is PRACTICE. THAT, my friend, is on you!; Like the carpenter and his wood, the rest, like all good art, is in your hands. Are you ready?  😃
