Louis Brems was my internship supervisor from January-May 2019, during my senior year while he was head photographer at The Citadel. I came with very little understanding about the ins and outs of photography, but through his direct guidance, I finished my internship with a much better understanding of the ISO/Aperture/Shutter Speed balance, when to use flash, metering lights for portraits, framing a shot, leading lines, and so much more. I also gained a better understanding of editing photography as well. He is a very hands on instructor, not afraid to give constructed criticism, but also very quick to praise a job well done. The information I gained under his mentorship gave me the start I needed, and Ive been able to use the portfolio he helped me develop to begin gaining clients for my own small business.

We will sit and down and discuss exactly what the student wants to learn and where he or she would like to be knowledge-wise at the end of the teaching session. I will then lay out an instructional plan complete with hands-on learning and assignments where I will critique the work and give instruction on to improve as we work through the lessons.
