Tom was an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable in his craft, and was very patient in answering all my question’s. For me this was money well spent. Thanks Tom… Your Kung-Fu is strong.

Private PhotoTraining
$325.00
You may have bought a very nice camera and still want to know how to really use it. Perhaps you now have time to pursue photography that you enjoyed earlier in life. You may be getting ready to go on a big trip and have persistent questions about your digital camera. You prefer in person learning for the immediacy and quality. With my experience as a commercial photographer, I offer individual PhotoTraining to awaken the inner photographer. In this personal one-on-one session I show you why manual mode gets all of the BUZZ online; and how finally understanding it will make you a better photographer, no matter what camera mode you wish to use. This training cures overwhelm by making complex digital cameras and photography simple.
If you are a person-to-person learner, Individual PhotoTraining is for you. 2.5 hours $325.

Fantastic workshop from an expert who really knows his stuff and conveys his knowledge well. Would recommend his classes. I’ll be getting more in the future.
My husband and I had a private lesson with Tom. We are beginners and he has jumpstarted our learning with the Fuji XT3. He is a terrific teacher. He simplifies and distills the essentials to get started. There is a lot of humor, history of photography, and personal experiences during the lesson. There were many moments during the lesson when concepts we had struggled with just clicked! We are hoping to come back after more practice for advanced lessons.
I enjoyed the class very much. I am somewhat versed in photography and Tom spoke to my level of knowledge. He taught me a lot about my camera as well as how to use it. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to take their photography to the next level using the manual mode
Thank you, Tom, for helping me jump start my career in photography! I signed up for Tom’s mentorship program when I was toying with the idea of becoming a professional photographer. Tom was able to demystify camera settings, lighting, and Lightroom to me quickly and succinctly while keeping everything light and entertaining!
I now run a photography business of my dreams and will forever be grateful to Tom who helped me begin this amazing journey on the right foot.
Tom is definitely your guy if you want to learn about photography, lighting, and post-processing while sharing some good laughs!
