Bridget S. says, "We just chose our wedding canvas thanks to a great deal of assistance from Tim. Our wedding was last year and Tim was kind enough to go the extra mile in helping us choose the photo. He uploaded them (again!) and gave us a range of ideas to fit our projected display area. As always, he was more than accommodating and quick to respond to any questions. The canvases are beautiful. They have been wrapped securely and the colors are true to life. They arrived safely on time to our home this past Monday with any issues. We are so pleased with the final product and our newest wedding keepsakes. Thanks for a wonderful experience, Tim!" Read more

My knowledge in all aspects of photography is vast including; lighting, posing, camera settings & capture techniques I have been fullfilled throughout my photography career by sharing not only my passion for this art but teaching and mentoring others that share in this passion. I believe the attribute that sets me apart from many other professional photographers is my passion for the business of photography. I also love the art of photography, however I believe that my images are merely the product that I create to make a living. This philosophy is truly at the root of the success of my photography career. I so enjoy sharing the passion ...

Hey everyone! I have always loved reating beautiful images, mostly with people. But I also love to teach other people this amazing art! Picking up a pro or "prosumer" level camera can be intimidating. All those numbers and lenses and F this and ISO that...it's a lot to process. But I take the worry out of the whole thing. We'll have some fun, build your confidence, and get you on the road to making beautiful images you can be proud of! I'm also an actor, and have photographed every make and model of human being and personality type there is. Which means...we'll get along great! Haha! But seriously, I'm an easy-going, stress free kind of guy. ...

I created a photography class that’s easy to understand, doesn’t overwhelm, but gives just enough info to give you an understanding and the confidence to take your camera off Auto Mode! I started photographing weddings in 1998, but after teaching a wedding couple how to use their DSLR camera before their honeymoon in 2007, I realized teaching is my passion. To date, I've taught over 10,000 students in over 70 cities in 34 states and a few countries! I love the excitement people have after class as they tell me they’re going to practice, practice, practice! I also love when people show me photos they've taken and say they would've never been a...

Your Photography Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do photography classes cost?

Photography classes cost $80 to $300 at a local photography center, museum, or online course provider. A beginner photography course at a university costs $250 to $500+, while the cost for a photography degree program is $10,000 to $30,000 per year on average.

Prices depend on the type of class, skill level, and your location. A basic Introduction to Photography class typically costs less than advanced classes or workshops taught by an experienced photographer.

Why take photography classes, and are they worth it?

A photography class is worth it if you want to master your camera, learn new techniques, and gain the ability to capture moments in exciting, memorable images. You do not need to be an aspiring professional photographer or artist to benefit from a class.

You'll learn to observe the world around you in new ways and develop an eye for details, light, color, shape, and texture. Through expert feedback from the instructor, you'll identify areas where you need improvement and become a better photographer as a result.

What do you learn in a photography class?

A beginner photography class teaches basic camera skills and techniques, including:

  • The exposure triangle—aperture, shutter speed, and ISO—and how each setting affects motion, depth of focus, and noise in your images
  • Light and how it affects your photos
  • Composition techniques, the Rule of Thirds, and leading lines
  • Color, shape, and texture
  • White balance
  • Lenses and filters

More advanced photography classes teach post-processing techniques in Photoshop, Lightroom, or other similar photo editing programs. Post-processing techniques include color correction, retouching, adjusting contrast and sharpness, and more.

Advanced courses may also focus on a specific type of photography, such as landscape photography, portrait photography, or street photography

Do I need my own camera to take a photography class?

Most photography classes require you to bring your own camera. However, if you're interested in exploring photography before investing in your own camera gear, consider taking a class anyway. Whether you take photos with your cellphone or a high-end digital camera, you can benefit from the skills learned in the class.

During the class, you'll learn not just how to take great photos but also about the features you'd like in a more complex camera, as well as the best lenses and filters for the type of photography you're interested in. This knowledge will better prepare you for the expensive purchase.

Can you take photography classes online?

Yes, you can take photography classes online through universities, web course providers like CreativeLive and SkillShare, and a wide variety of websites dedicated specifically to photography. Most sites offer both beginner photography classes and a vast selection of intermediate and advanced classes focused on specific types or aspects of photography.

Where can I take photography classes near me?

Keep these tips in mind when choosing a photography class:

  • Look for a course targeted toward photographers at your skill level. Advanced photographers may want to consider taking a workshop with a specific photographer instead of a class.
  • Decide if you want to take a class that focuses on a specific style or type of photography.
  • Read the instructor's reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Check out the instructor's portfolio, as well as portfolios from previous students.

What questions should I ask photography instructors?

Ask the instructor these questions before enrolling in the class:

  • What skill level is this class designed for?
  • What topics will the class cover?
  • Do I need to bring my own camera?
  • Where will the class meet?
  • Will the class include instructor feedback?
  • Will you share our photos on the school website or social media?

What I loved about working with Kristine is her openness to my goals - she is good at explaining the basics but also tailoring lessons to my interests. She is great with shooting and editing and provides supplementary materials including homework if you like. Definitely worth it.
