Taking a different approach, we thought small private classes would be a way for those that want the attention of the instructor on demand, rather than a large classroom setting. With that in mind we are offering instruction for up to three people in a class. If you want your own private class you can do that as well.
The classes are tailored for you. After a conversation with the instructor, he will gauge your level of knowledge and instruct accordingly. Adding to your knowledge base is the goal, but not to overwhelm you with information you can’t implement.
Classes are usually one hour in length so that the information by the instructor can be absorbed and used. One class may be all you need on a subject, but you can come back and get more instruction if questions arise or you feel ready for the next level. Call 345-7041 to make your appointment.

Nothing replaces a good photograph properly exposed and nicely lit. But reality can creep in and just one little thing can ruin a photograph, a branch, a person in the background. This is where photoshop can save the day. The instructor will assess your knowledge of the program and then augment it. When learning photoshop, it is always advised to be project oriented, meaning; have a project you want to do, and by doing it with the instructor, you will learn the tools to make it happen. Once the tools are learned, they can be applied to many different projects.
