Photographic Composition
PhotoTrainer®, Real Photography for Real People.
In-Person Photography Training in Mountain View, CA
This photography class is booked by avid photographers, with seriously busy lives who struggle determining if their photos are any good…or not. They know what they like when they see it… but not WHY. They are fed-up-to-the-gills with online soothsayers with little to say. Their relationship to their photography has plateaued and is not exciting any more. They want an engaging visual journey with a real human that presents the simple language of image making to help identify strong photos from weak ones and breaks the creative blocks and ends the struggle.

Photo Composition’s New Testament Greats a legendary code, in easy language, to make your photos expressive.

About Tom
Tom Upton is one of the Bay area’s top photographer trainers. He believes third-person bios are beyond lame. So I shitcanned my AI writing bots. 😬
I am committed to enabling students find their own visions through the lens. My from-the-hip teaching style is hands-on, nutty and laser focused on building confidence with today’s bonkers camera technology. I have read all the manuals so you do not have to. Whether you’re looking to dive into photography for the first time or advance your skills, my classes offer a fresh take on a time-worn and burnished craft –a supportive environment for growth you will not forget (like those exhausting online videos you never finish.) There.
