This is the joy of photography. Paul knows the tricks of photography, he has the knowledge, yet I love how he still radiates such joy about the subject. He's also generous minded. His rate per hour is in line with many, less experienced photography tutors. He had to drive an hour to meet with me, and he didn't hesitate to do this. Everything is a matter of timing, and it is cheery that I was ready to meet Paul as my photography tutor.

The session covered two very different areas of photography (capturing city scapes and concert photography). It was clear Marshall had a lot of experience with both of these types of photography and in showing me the basics, taught me a few good tricks of the trade and tips along the way. Marshall was a really nice, friendly person and genuinely, very talented. His enthusiasm for photography was infectious!

Duane was just the ticket that an amateur photographer enthusiast like myself needed to get familiarized with my new advanced camera (Nikon D610) and provide the photography knowledge and techniques I was looking for. He is professional, likable, and very knowledgeable of photography concepts and technological aspects of photography. Duane is a professional photographer who can teach at any level. He also adds a lot of practical experience to his teaching techniques.
