Now Offering a Basic Photography Course.

You read that right.

I am now offering a 3 hour crash course on photography. If you own a camera and live in the Greater New Orleans/ Mandeville/ Covington area (or if you want to pay for my travel), this is a great way to take the first steps into being a great photographer.

Those 3 hours will be dedicated to breaking down both the compositional and mathematical aspects of photography. I’ll be teaching you how to use your camera and how to see the world like a photographer.

I teach both landscape and portraits, but we can focus on one if that is what you want.

The course won’t make you ready to be a professional, but you will be a better photographer. My goal is to teach you how to walk so that you can learn how to run on your own.

The class is 3 hours. Cost is $250. For an additional $50, I can get a model to be your subject. I can also teach you basic editing. That would be a separate class and an additional fee.

The image below was taken by my first student. He took this shot all on his own, based on what I had been teaching him for the previous 2 hours. And it’s great! I am genuinely jealous that I didn’t get this shot.

Are you ready to start shooting? E-mail me.
