Visual Touch Photography
About
My one-on-one teaching approach using my 40+ years of experience in Photography (20 years as a digital pioneer and a dual career with Kodak and my own photo business), gives me the credibility and confidence to work with all levels of students. My direct 'hands-on' approach using demonstration and immediate assignment allows for quick learning. Having built multiple Studios over the years and providing direct leadership and training to my staff have been beneficial to my students and my business. As a "Digital Pioneer" with Kodak, I was one of the first 'ambassadors' trained in digital technology and responsible for teaching that photo technology to our Dealers and Professional Photographers.
I do have a Linked-in profile (Jerry Esposito) as well as a Visual Touch Facebook site and my digital consulting business website is: www.visualtouchdigital.com
My Visual Touch local website is: www.onsitephotoevents.com

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
An initial telephone interview to discuss my credentials, experience and overall approach to teaching. I also use the interview to ascertain the client's level of experience and what they would like to achieve in their sessions with me.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Many years of experience building and managing multiple Studios and training of our staff. Over 40 years of experience in actual Photography with specialties in Weddin, Portrait, Nature, Landscape, School & Military and of course Events.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My standard pricing is $90 for the first 2 hour session. Thereafter, hourly rate is $50. These rates are for sessions at my Studio. Travel to the client are done on a quote basis to include travel cost.
How did you get started teaching?
When I was with Kodak, part of my job was to educate our Dealers, Professional Photographers and our Tech Sales reps on our digital camera/imaging and printing technology. After my Kodak career, I continued with the teaching as a consulting business with Studios, Companies and Photographers looking to make the 'digital transition' from film.
What types of students have you worked with?
Mostly Intermediate to Professional.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Our team just completed an Event attended by 1,000 people (a high-end black tie Event), every couple attending was presented with a 5x7 themed print from the sponsor. All went off without a hitch!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure you will be getting an experienced person you are comfortable with-hence my use of the initial telephone consultation.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Think seriously about what you want to accomplish in sessions with the teacher. That means you need to think thru your own level or experience and what techniques, technology, creative, confidence, even business skills you want to walk away with.
