Learned so much, from beginning to operate a DSLR to composition and lighting/metering to portraiture. And the best thing is he encourages individuality and makes your kind of photography better rather than trying to make you adhere to “rules.” PLUS, he’s ALWAYS willing to help out past students.

Took two Classes from Micheal. The first was really the basics and the second was finally exploring what the camera really did!!!
Michael teaches how to develop your personal style in a no pressure space. Super knowledgeable, vast amounts of experience, and most importantly, willing to teach!!
Definitely recommend taking ALL his classes, jump in and don’t stop at one.

The classes were well organized and very helpful. Michael van Gelders enthusiasm for photography led to my personal passion for capturing the world around me through the cameras lens. He has been a great instructor and mentor and it has been a pleasure to learn from him.
