Micheal reviewed the basics of photography. I have no prior experience with photography. Michael was very detailed and patient. I look forward to future lessons.

8 Photography lessons

Maxi is very good at what she does - photography and computer. She keeps my daughter's attention because she has passion for the subjects at hand. She has a good eye and caught some of my daughter's photos (which were incredible by the way) when I almost disregarded them. Maxi and my daughter get along very well. My daughter is 19 years old and she is learning fast. The hours are never wasted with LeeAnn's eagerness to learn and Maxi's eagerness to teach.

A real plus. As a consequence my photography [antique books], has improved significantly and I expect to enjoy growing increasing gains as I work with the concepts. He drove up here from Delaware which is a good hour's drive. Again no charge and no complaints. He is, without a doubt, a keen, incisive and accomplished teacher. He has an impressive resume. And, lest I forget, let me mention he is easy and enjoyable to talk to.
