One on One Training is available in studio or via WebEx
Photography has always been technical, but these days modern cameras are digital, and therefore rely more heavily on computers, both those built into our cameras and those on our desks. This can be overwhelming when you are getting started, but there is a way to cut through the jargon and complexity to help you get better photographs. With years of experience training people on cameras and software tools I can help you get going, whether you are beginning or more experienced. We all have gaps. I'm always working on mine!
My unique training style is designed to fill those gaps, not try to cover everything. The most important goal of training is to move forward, not amass knowledge.
I have twenty-five years of experience using and training people on Macs, Windows, Unix, and other Computer systems. I have used Film and Digital cameras, Olympus, Nikon, Canon, and currently Phase One, Sony, and Cambo Medium Format. I have paid teachers for many years myself as a Musician and Photographer. It's the fastest way to jump-start your success. By the way, success doesn't have to be financial. It may be just the enjoyment of taking better photographs, and having work you can hang on the wall.
The Studio location is in Dallas TX where we have professional lighting gear to use for any hands-on.
This is a great opportunity to save a lot of time along the learning curve of Photography in the areas listed below.
(Note that each Training Session includes a free 15 minute photo critique.)

Training can be done at my home Gallery in the North Dallas TX area, at a local studio, or online using WebEx screen sharing.
