Personal Photography Lessons

Topics will be tailored to your interests and skill level, and may include:

• Camera and lens usage
• Use of natural light and flash
• Composition, aesthetics and seeing photographically
• Portraits and people photography
• Documenting your life (family, kids, vacations, trips)
• A personal photography project
• Street photography
• Use of Canon DSLR cameras, including the 5DII
• Use of Leica rangefinder cameras, including the M9
• Digital processing and retouching (Lightroom, Photoshop)

Please inquire using the Contact link at the top of this page. When inquiring, please let me know your general skill level and your specific photographic interests and goals. Students must have a camera — any model, any brand. Instruction can be in person (preferably) or via Skype, depending on your location.

Lesson fee options:

• $125 for a one-hour session;
• $200 for a two-hour session; or
• $500 for one six-hour day session.

Instruction will be one-on-one.  Or bring one friend (for a class size of two) and each of you pay 80% of the regular lesson fee. Lesson fees are payable in advance. Lessons in some locations (such as NYC) may add add travel and/or parking expenses.

Please note: although wedding photography may be discussed, this is not a specialized course for wedding photographers (which I may offer at another time).
