FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Typically it starts over the phone. My wife or I discuss the process and timing,and we set up an intial appointment.
At the initial lesson we meet in person to discuss their needs and then determine how to best help them advance their skills.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taught at the College level previously, and am a full-time Professional Photographer.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Private lessons are $60/hr. Many people find a 90-minute lesson to be just about the perfect amount of time to make some progress without getting overwhelmed.
How did you get started teaching?
I love sharing my knowledge and experience, and have been doing so since 2008.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with young teens through retirees.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently lead a small group workshop to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. It was a great group of photographers and we had a delightful time.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
It is helpful if you make a list of your questions asa they occur to you. Often times I have people sitting with me in the studio or out walking in the park and they get frustrated because they know they had a question but can't remember it.
Make a physical list on paper or your phone. You'll be glad you did.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Scheduling time to pratice between sessions. When we meet we will go over your questions, identify areas for improvement and discuss new techniques to address the areas that are challenging you.
You need to set aside time shortly after we meet to put what we have discussed into practice. The longer a person waits, the more difficult it is to remember.
