Alisha A. says, "Rick was very conscious of my photography needs. I am a watercolor artist, and my needs were not typical for photography. He had a lot of patience. I had a camera for a long time and never knew how to use it. Luckily, he had one similar to my old one. He provided me with work cheat sheets to help me remember. Rick was great to work around my schedule and meet me. Rick provided great locations to practice. Very encouraging during the learning process. I felt like a true beginner. I still need to get out and shoot more photography. Thanks, Rick for all your help!" Read more

She is very knowledgeable on photography, both theoretical subject and hands on practice. One of the great features of her teaching style is that she critiques your work regularly.

I am an experienced Dallas Area Photographer who loves to shoot life as it comes. Having a passion for recording history and the need to capture expression, I use emotion, and the moment to visually tell timeless and memorable stories. As an artist and photographer, my goal is to utilize lighting and individual expression to create interesting images. Not only am I an experienced photographer and artist, I'm also a graphic designer and image retoucher. I enjoy each as both grant flexibility and freedom to work with people seeking to immortalize themselves through imagery or seek to better themselves through imagery....

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?

Sydney has a patience essential in a teacher and I find our sessions together inspiring, motivating and relaxed. I also appreciate the consistent and reliable way she communicates with me. She arrives early for our sessions, honors my time by finishing on time, sets expectations, has a teaching plan, is honest and has values and integrity that I value. I highly recommend her. As a retired professional I encourage her to always take her knowledge and experience to the next level. She has a lot to offer and staying current is important.
