About Felicia

Bio

I am a professional photographer in Oakland, CA.

I have an MFA and a BA in photography and work in both digital and film mediums.

In my work, I am equally at home shooting wedding and special event photography as I am with fine art. I shoot many self portraits.

I teach classes and private lessons on many subjects, including all aspects of photography (both film and digital). I am a computer wiz (especially if its Mac based) and I'd be happy to show you everything I know about Macs or...

I have an MFA and a BA in photography and work in both digital and film mediums.

In my work, I am equally at home shooting wedding and special event photography as I am with fine art. I shoot many self portraits.

I teach classes and private lessons on many subjects, including all aspects of photography (both film and digital). I am a computer wiz (especially if its Mac based) and I'd be happy to show you everything I know about Macs or Adobe products. I jumped around a lot in college, so I amassed a large knowledge bank of the sciences also.

I have years of tutoring experience, so I am able to customize a session to fit your needs, whether that is hands on or more lecture based. I can go slow and I can go quickly. The student leads the show!

Photography

I have both a BA and an MFA in photography. I own my own photography business and teach one-on-one photography lessons to select clients. I work in film photography (medium and large format), digital photography (Nikon based), toy camera photography (holga/Diana), darkroom and alternative processes, studio photography (using both strobes and hot lights), portraiture and self portraiture. I often shoot wedding and event photography, as well as product photography and the occasional odd photo gig. I have 7 years of college and over 10 years of experience...there isn't much that I don't have knowledge of, if not expertise!

Public Speaking

I have been doing public speaking, performances, and storytelling since I was a young child. I know many techniques (beyond the standard "picture them in underwear") that can boost confidence and have a considerable effect on public speaking effectiveness. I was the speaker at both my High School and College graduations, as well as at many smaller functions throughout my life. With a little coaching, you'll feel more at ease in front of a crowd also!

Macintosh

I am an Apple Geek! I have been working on Mac computers since 2004. I currently use a MacBook, a MacMini, an iPhone, and an iPad. I have in depth knowledge of most Apple programs and OS. I love using shortcuts, quickkeys, and other Mac-based tricks. If I don't know the answer to a problem, I know how to locate an answer in about 30 seconds.

Botany

Botany was my minor in college. I had the pleasure of taking biology, botany, plant physiology, and other interesting classes. I spent much time in a laboratory with my face in a microscope! College was also when I discovered my green-thumb, spending hours working in our campus greenhouse. I apply my botanical knowledge to my ever-fruiting produce garden and an unreasonable collection of houseplants. I combine my plant interests with my photography career in the form of chlorophyll printing, a photography process exploiting the mechanism of photosynthesis.

Extremely knowledgeable communicator

Felicia is patient, clear and friendly. She explains each element of Lightroom and its relationship to the computer using metaphors that make it more comprehensible. She takes notes and spends time understanding where the issues exist. I would say she can look at the big picture of how each individual user adapts and can develop clear methods for that individual. We achieved a lot in a short period of time. I felt more confident about how to organize and use the system. I highly recommend her as a tutor.

Very helpful!

Felicia helped me fine tune the images I had already edited in Lightroom and we got a lot done in a short amount of time. Felicia is easy to work with and she knows her stuff. I fully recommend her.

Enjoyable instructor

Felicia was fun and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her. We went through all my novice questions and she patiently explained everything to me. We split our time into digital camera basics and what software I need. Can’t wait for our next few sessions.

Fun blog photography

I have a personal non profit fun only photography blog. It's really nice to have a professional photographer and a great teacher like Felicia to help me through all my stupid questions. Felicia is a great teacher, punctual, professional, kind, patience, and fun to work with! She takes her job seriously, and so do I.

Knowledgeable and professional

Felicia listened attentively to what I wanted to learn, and explained the features of Lightroom to me concisely and efficiently. Her knowledge of presentation considerations (size, paper type, etc.) was also very helpful.

Andrew, 1 lesson with Felicia

Very helpful - knows her stuff!

Not only is Felicia herself a great photographer, she can give tips on photography as well as really help with the processing/workflow of photography - I needed help with Lightroom, back up hard drives, making sure everything was going where it was supposed to, etc. Plus she is very nice and smart. Looking forward to our next session!

Amanda, 5 lessons with Felicia

Great tutor!

I met with Felicia for our first tutoring session and found her easy to work with and accommodating. She is very knowledgeable and able to clearly explain how the Mac works in ways that I was able to understand. Thank you!

Esther, 2 lessons with Felicia

Wonderful tutor

Felicia was right on time and started the lesson of photography for my ten year old son. She was patient and kind and he learned a ton. We reached the goal for the evening which was for him to be able to get the photos off the camera and onto one of our computers. I would recommend her for kids as well as adults like myself that need extra support when it comes to computers.
