Exposure
I LOVED that Russ did not just talk...he made the class interactive and MADE us interact in a very non-threatening way! It was obvious he knows what he's talking about and gave us wonderful tips to improve our photographs...not just "pictures". It was great...and made us THINK about what we were doing. The venue was very comfortable and conducive to learning. I would highly recommend him! -

Introduction to Photography Class
I was incredibly surprised by how much information I walked away with after only 90 minutes. You could tell that Nick really cared about the class & was adamant about us taking something away from it. His passion for photography was apparent which made the class very enjoyable. There were multiple times my friend & I looked at each-other and laughed because something we had been trying to learn on our own finally clicked. I'm definitely debating taking the full 7-week session & have told all my friends they should check it out. -
Introduction to Photography Class
Nick Sinnott is a wonderful teacher and anyone that takes even the trail course will benefit (if they're a beginner). The facilities are nice and are conducive to learning. I highly recommend doing the trial if you want to find a good photography class. My husband and I both have signed up for the course.
