In today's world, our schedules are often so crammed that finding the time to take a workshop, even for one weekend, is difficult. Also, in a workshop the instructor must conduct the program to meet the needs that are common to all of the students and providing indivdual attention to specific needs is difficult at best.
With individual instruction, I can completely focus on your needs without worrying about whether I am neglecting others who are in a workshop and who may have needs that are different from yours.
If you are looking for a way to improve your photography, learn a particular technique or skill, or develop your creative vision, I can help.
Some of the areas where I can help:
- What kind of camera should I buy?
- I just got a new camera. How can I get the most out of it?
- Could you look at some of your images and tell me how I can improve?
- I'm taking a big trip and I want to learn how to get great photos.
- I'm new to digital photography and I need help with image processing software.
- I would like to make good prints of my images.
- Can I accompany you when you are out photographing so I can learn how you work?
I can work with you in all of these areas and more. I'll start by meeting with you for an initial consultation at no charge, so I can get an understanding of where you are with your photography and where you want to go with it.
Whether you just want to take better photos of your friends and family or you have ambitions to be a fine art photographer I will develop a plan of instruction tailored to your specific needs.
Then we will work together to implement the plan on a schedule that will fit into your busy life.
Rates for indivual instruction:
Basic rate: $40/hour, $125/half day(4 hours)
Two hour portfolio review and/or development of individual plan: $75
