Perfect! Michael is an excellent teacher he was able to tailor the lesson to suit my exact learning needs with very clear instruction. He ensures that foundational concepts of photography are understood along with each topic. I was able to learn a lot about composition, the exact points to focus on such as depth, texture, color, and subject matter that make a good photo an excellent photo.

Looking forward to my next lesson!

One of a kind . He’s hands on approach to teaching really helped. The fact that there is a fully equipped studio at the student disposal helps a lot. I feel I can continue my photography education here for years to come. They also offer group classes with live models. Posing, lighting, basics to advance this place rocks.
