Heinsight Photography
About
I have over 22 years of experience and a degree in commercial applied photography from Texas A&M Commerce.
I taught public high school photography and video for 10 years and also 2 years to continuing education students at the University of Texas at Arlington.
I enjoy seeing students learn and apply the necessary skills and knowledge of photography or video to accomplish what they want. If they aren't having fun learning then I'm not doing my job well

I also have over 12 years of teaching experience.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I take this on a case by case basis, depending on the students needs.
How did you get started teaching?
I was asked by an owner of a local camera store to furnish instruction to a group of college students that were going to use new camera equipment.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students from 18 to 65. The bulk of my students were 16-19 as a teacher in a public school district.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently traveled to the Santa Fe, NM area for a photo/road trip. I spent 3 days shooting photos of landscapes and documenting the area around and in Santa Fe, NM.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that the teacher isn't just doing it for the money. Teaching is so rewarding money should not be the first reason for doing it. :)
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I would ask that students really try and get as specific as they can in order to get the most out of their lessons. There is no need in teaching a student how to shoot weddings if all they want to do is shoot sports, or vice versa.
