Ian Feinberg

About

Hello! I am an award winning film, video and still photography professional with over 35 years of experience. My professional career has spanned the television, film/video production and college education fields. I love to share my passion for story telling through the lens, and am known as a patient and conscientious teacher. Students seem to enjoy my hands-on teaching style and find it to be the most effective way to learn their craft.

My fascination with photography and film began as a teen. I enjoy the freedom it provides working in different places and meeting new people. My experiences have provided travel and adventure. I get great satisfaction from sharing my knowledge and experience and feel motivated by students who share my passion. The art of photography did not come naturally to me. I had to learn it the hard way (and still learning). I think this helps make me an effective instructor because I can break down concepts in very practical terms.

    Ian Feinberg has passion for every piece of work he creates, every student he teaches, and the industry in which he thrives - the art of TV and Film Production. There was never a day in which Ian wasn’t ready to enhance another human’s potentials through the art of videography. He’s supportive, kind, and intellectual all wrapped into one amazing human. Years after being under his advisory, his photogenic power still embraces my subconscious when I visualize my own projects and guides my process.

    He was an extremely well-rounded and well respected teacher. Calm, collected, and patient with a bunch of eager students that had no idea what they were really doing. Dozens of us owe our careers to him now

    I had the privilege of being Mr. Finebergs student. He is an inexhaustible source of information when it comes to video production. He is one of those people who has the knowledge to guide you through all the phases of production. He is very talented and his passion is contagious. No matter if these are your first steps in the world of video/photography or already have a solid experience, you can always learn something new from him.

    Frequently asked questions

    It is important to understand that, as in most fields, there are technical and artistic aspects to photography. For example, you can learn how a pencil or word processor technically works, but that does not make you a writer. You need to choose which words to use to craft your story. The same is true with photography and film. A photographer learns how to use the equipment, but he/she also needs to know what pictures to capture to tell a story. I strive to teach both aspects equally.

    I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Journalism degree specializing in radio, TV and film. My career in television and film production spans over 35 years including 20 years at WXIA –TV in Atlanta, 3 years at WTVM in Columbus, GA and 18 years as a freelance  director of photography, camera operator, director and producer. Additionally, I created the Television Production Technology program at Chattahoochee Technical College where I developed the curriculum, built the facility and taught and advised students. My awards include 12 Southeast Regional Emmy, 4 Telly, 1 Addy, 1 Iris, and 3 Broadcast Education Association Best of Competition awards for producing, directing, lighting, editing and photography; Rick Perkins award winner as the Technical College System of Georgia’s Teacher of the Year, DTAE Lighthouse award, 2 CTC leadership awards.


    My typical fee is 35 per hour.
