I love controlling every aspect of lighting, I also do natural lights and outdoor photography as well. If you want to get down to business I'm your guy.

I have my BFA in Professional Photography, and have been doing workshops and individual lessons (in various areas) for about five years. I recently moved back to the Inland Empire and am working on getting my workshops up and running over the summer, so I'm just taking smaller requests (like this) until then. I do offer group discounts, so if you and a few of your friends want to learn the ins and outs of photography, consider doing a group workshop! If you'd like to see some of what I do, you can view my website at www.HilaryPetersPhotography.com. I come from a family of educators, so I'm genetically predisposed to enjoy helping people learn...

I’m passionate about Photography there isn’t a day that goes by that a camera is not in my hand. I love the happy people I meet and the feeling of satisfaction when I see their face after they’ve seen my work. I have a way with people of putting them at ease right away which allows me to capture their essence - that spark they have inside. I love the creative side of things as well that allows me to put my oun unique style to every photo. I enjoy the happy faces and the memories we create to last a life time & for generations to come. I love telling their story through my lens. It brings me so much joy to be part of their happiest moments....

Your Photography Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do photography classes cost?

Photography classes cost $80 to $300 at a local photography center, museum, or online course provider. A beginner photography course at a university costs $250 to $500+, while the cost for a photography degree program is $10,000 to $30,000 per year on average.

Prices depend on the type of class, skill level, and your location. A basic Introduction to Photography class typically costs less than advanced classes or workshops taught by an experienced photographer.

Why take photography classes, and are they worth it?

A photography class is worth it if you want to master your camera, learn new techniques, and gain the ability to capture moments in exciting, memorable images. You do not need to be an aspiring professional photographer or artist to benefit from a class.

You'll learn to observe the world around you in new ways and develop an eye for details, light, color, shape, and texture. Through expert feedback from the instructor, you'll identify areas where you need improvement and become a better photographer as a result.

What do you learn in a photography class?

A beginner photography class teaches basic camera skills and techniques, including:

  • The exposure triangle—aperture, shutter speed, and ISO—and how each setting affects motion, depth of focus, and noise in your images
  • Light and how it affects your photos
  • Composition techniques, the Rule of Thirds, and leading lines
  • Color, shape, and texture
  • White balance
  • Lenses and filters

More advanced photography classes teach post-processing techniques in Photoshop, Lightroom, or other similar photo editing programs. Post-processing techniques include color correction, retouching, adjusting contrast and sharpness, and more.

Advanced courses may also focus on a specific type of photography, such as landscape photography, portrait photography, or street photography

Do I need my own camera to take a photography class?

Most photography classes require you to bring your own camera. However, if you're interested in exploring photography before investing in your own camera gear, consider taking a class anyway. Whether you take photos with your cellphone or a high-end digital camera, you can benefit from the skills learned in the class.

During the class, you'll learn not just how to take great photos but also about the features you'd like in a more complex camera, as well as the best lenses and filters for the type of photography you're interested in. This knowledge will better prepare you for the expensive purchase.

Can you take photography classes online?

Yes, you can take photography classes online through universities, web course providers like CreativeLive and SkillShare, and a wide variety of websites dedicated specifically to photography. Most sites offer both beginner photography classes and a vast selection of intermediate and advanced classes focused on specific types or aspects of photography.

Where can I take photography classes near me?

Keep these tips in mind when choosing a photography class:

  • Look for a course targeted toward photographers at your skill level. Advanced photographers may want to consider taking a workshop with a specific photographer instead of a class.
  • Decide if you want to take a class that focuses on a specific style or type of photography.
  • Read the instructor's reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Check out the instructor's portfolio, as well as portfolios from previous students.

What questions should I ask photography instructors?

Ask the instructor these questions before enrolling in the class:

  • What skill level is this class designed for?
  • What topics will the class cover?
  • Do I need to bring my own camera?
  • Where will the class meet?
  • Will the class include instructor feedback?
  • Will you share our photos on the school website or social media?

Michael has taken some of the best pictures and videos of me and my bands over the years. He's one of best, both as a photographer and videographer. He also did a lot to further my career/hobby as a videographer by teaching me lighting, camera angles, depth of field tricks, etc.

“While it was frustrating to teach my 15 year old daughter to drive at first, I decided to hire BIA LLC to give her the proper techniques. BIA LLC has the ease and flexibility for appointments and the instructors are all with law enforcers background that gave me a peace of mind for security. Between the practice that we had coached and the 10 hours with Dylan, my daughter passed her road test with 100% score at the DMV. I would recommend BIA LLC to anyone.”
