  • Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Chicago)

    Mary Jane T. • May 4, 2025
    The teacher was quite good, considering that one of us students had an older camera and I have an odd one that is not easily tracked to the menus in others. I learned quite a bit about what the controls do, considering that I have never had a *real* camera before. And the Driehaus Museum was a splendid place to wander about in and take pictures afterward. I think more attention should be given to where to meet for this location, though, as there is no seating for a teaching session in the Driehaus Museum, and the "cafe" suggested as a meeting place is an actual restaurant that expects people to order food, and we had to hustle up another place to sit. I would definitely take another class with this instructor, but would perhaps look for one given in a better-planned venue.
  • Digital Photography Live In-the-Field @ Chrystie & Rivington Intersection

    Katherine S. • March 16, 2025
    Wonderful class concentrating on aspects of composition and storytelling through photography
  • Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Chicago)

    Darwin B. • January 13, 2025
    Rob Hale was attentive to our individual needs. His answers were very responsive to the questions raised. I especially appreciated how he worked through some of the quirky camera confusion that arose and stayed with the issue till we got true resolution. As example, who knew my 24-105 RF lens had a third ring allowing exposure compensation to be dialed in while partially depressing the shutter? A classmate with a very similar kit did not have that ring on her lens. The nuances!
  • Digital Photography Live In-the-Field @ Houston Arboretum and Nature Center

    Carolyn G. • October 14, 2024
    Jim Caldwell was a terrific instructor. He gave me several easy to understand tips on using manual camera settings. I was disappointed however with the venue. Houston Arboretum offered NO opportunities to take pictures to try out my new found skills. It was full of nothing but dead fallen trees & weeds. No flowers. No color. Very little wildlife. Houston Botanic Garden is a much better manicured nature environment.
  • Half Day Private Digital Photography for 1-6 People (New York)

    Christopher A. • October 13, 2024
    Alina was thorough in her preparation and the materials that she provided to teach me how to use my Nikon D3300. She was patient and clear in her explanations, and always encouraging as we experimented with different techniques. And she pointed out composition issues with my photos that I didn't notice, raising my awareness of ways to isolate the subject and take better-looking pictures. I'm a beginner in digital photography, and feel much more comfortable talking about and taking photos after my session with Alina.
  • Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Seattle)

    Sara C. • August 27, 2024
    Jeff the teacher was great and did a fabulous job of balancing different participants different skills and cameras. The other participants were lovely.

    Great workshop with the guidance and expertise of Ron ! Ron is very experienced in all aspects of photography… makes it clear and accessible. Learning a new way to approach street photography and depth of field! Thank you

    Ming is a terrific teacher; I got exactly what I wanted from this class and enjoyed every minute.
  • Half Day Private Digital Photography for 1-6 People (New York)

    Mike W. • December 15, 2023
    Alina was great. I really enjoyed the course and can't wait to try some of the things I learned. The school's communication pre and post course were stellar.
  • Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Chicago)

    Jay S. • November 12, 2023
    My experience was good. A. I wish there were some ways we could have kept the knowledge after the course, beyond the couple of papers that were shared, this way one could practice. B. The teacher was fantastic, the content was great, but maybe we covered too many aspects of digital photography. Some people came to learn specific shots and others didn't even know how to use their camera. C. I would love to attend one specifically to A. use my camera only and a differnt class to B. Take specific shots. With an agenda and time objectives clearly defined for me to know what I will come out with. Possibly this can be done in a way that one keeps some of the knowledge in videos or written down.
  • Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Chicago)

    Brian C. • November 11, 2023
    Ron was an excellent instructor, especially for beginners. He helped ensure the content was easy to understand and provided really great recommendations on how to use a camera without overcomplicating things. Really nice person, accommodating, and made sure to answer every question.
  • Digital Photography Live In-the-Field @ American Museum

    Eric N. • October 22, 2023
    Mindy was very encouraging and informative. All in all, the experience was productive, enlightening and enjoyable.
  • Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Los Angeles)

    Mark J. • September 16, 2023
    It was a very good course, but parking in the Echo Park area on the weekends is a nightmare. I suggest perhaps a different location, a weeknight or an early morning time.
  • Digital Photography Live In-the-Field @ Eldridge Street Synagogue

    Frederick M. • August 27, 2023
    I bundled two photo classes back to back. The class(es) itself was great and the instructor was personable, patient and friendly. The synagogue and its environs are perfect and the instructor got to know us well enough that she could adapt the class to what we would shoot in our personal and professional lives. Would recommend. The lead-up to the class was difficult — the coordinator (NOT the instructor) kept changing instructors on us, course times, duration, etc. Communication got confusing via text message, email, phone call at once, with sometimes contradictory info like “Enjoy your class Saturday!” when class was actually scheduled for Sunday. That said, the coordinator was very personable and friendly and I enjoyed talking to him, as delightfully scattered as he came across.
  • Half Day Private Digital Photography for 1-6 People (Houston)

    Anonymous • August 16, 2023
    My teacher gave me lots of very useful information along with a handout detailing camera functions. I do wish he had reviewed his own camera more extensively before we met. Our cameras were the same except mine was a bit of a newer model. He was not able to answer some of my questions about various menu functions of the camera. Other than that it was a very good session.
  • Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Los Angeles)

    Anonymous • July 16, 2023
    Really enjoyed the experience. Learning the controls and navigating the camera was what I wanted to accomplish by taking the course. Adding the next session which allowed me to experiment and apply techniques learned from the previous session was most beneficial to better understand the different aspects of the camera.

  • Master Your Digital Camera Controls (Houston)

    Anonymous • June 18, 2023
    The instructor knew virtually nothing about my Sony despite that fact that I submitted the maker and model weeks in advanced as requested. I was told it was so the instructor could familiarize himself with the students’ cameras prior to the class. As a result, he was unable to answer any questions that were specific to the controls on my camera.
