Melika Carr Photography

I offer a variety of different classes! I love photography and being creative, and I'm always teaching and learning. I have over 10 years of experience with photography; I did an independent study for 2 years in highschool, later majoring in photography in college. I've taught one on one classes over the years and I really enjoy connecting with new people and sharing my passion for photography. I have worked in both color and B&W wet darkrooms as well as with digital mediums. My main editing tool is Lightroom. I also have a backdrop kit and backdrops, off camera flashes, and reflectors, umbrellas, and other lighting equipement.

I like to teach beginners and I always start from the film perspective, even if working up to digital, because I believe that that's the best way to learn photography. There is something very logical and straightforward about B&W film photography that makes the transition to digital a lot less overwhelming!

We'll work together based on what YOU want to learn, and I always want my students to feel like they're getting the most out of our classes.

I love meeting new people and teaching them about photography! My style is very much about spontaneous and unstaged shots. I like when photography is more of a cooperative effort and less of me telling people what to do. I use the same technique when teaching the subject.
