I worked with Pamela at Calipso one afternoon to learn how to take better outdoor photos of my clients and our natural surroundings with my inexpensive Android smart phone.
She was patient with my inexperience and the limitations of my hardware. Also, Pamela was willing to put up with the conditions (water, weather, wild animals, mosquitoes, etc) in my job (we are a team of paddleboard/kayak tour guides).
In particular, her well organized, start-from-the-basics approach to teaching was what made the session worthwhile for me. Pamela taught color-theory, the importance of lighting, use of filters, distance, angles, shooting positions and even how to manage models in such a way that a non-artistic type like me would understand!
My photo game has greatly improved in one session with Pamela and I highly recommend her services as a photography instructor.

As a student I enjoy the studio and the teaching approach that allows me to learn and channel my creativity. The Art Shack Miami is a welcoming and friendly environment where you can enjoy the learning process. It is a creativity powerhouse in Doral, FL.

Back in 2013 I took two art classes from Maritza Molina. Basic and advanced drawing. Ms Molina is a talented artist and excellent teacher. She has great credentials being a graduate of the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. From her I learned good drawing techniques which I apply to my daily work as an artist. I learned about the concepts of form, contour drawing, spatial relationship, positive and negative space, value, shading, etc. Also the more advanced subjects of foreshortening, perspective, still life and portraits. The material presented in class was reinforced by sensible homework. Ms Molina was always prepared, well organized and on time. She’s a cheerful person and very enthusiastic about art. She was a force in motivating her students. I benefited from taking her class and the knowledge I gained is extensive. She’s one of the best teachers I ever had,
