You Have Found The Perfect Place!

As a photography instructor at Virginia MOCA and the owner of a photography business since 2009, I have the skills and practical experience to help you grow as a photographer and reach that next level of awesome! So you want to be a better photographer? I offer one-on-one lessons to give you individualized attention covering all the topics that you need to know.

Photography Mentoring: Camera 101

During each session you can look forward to an hour of personalized, one-on-one mentoring tailored to YOUR learning style.

In the first lesson will cover the basics of camera settings and get you out of shooting in Automatic Mode.
I will answer any questions you have, as well as go over manual settings (such as ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture), the Exposure Triangle, and why they are crucial to creating the images you envision.

After the first class you will have all the tools necessary to shoot in Manual mode!

During the second lesson, we will review what was covered in the first lesson and go more in-depth by covering composition, lighting, what makes a technically correct image, etc.

I recommend sessions being scheduled 1 week apart to give you time to put into practice the things covered during your session.
