“After four classes with Susan and an additional two tailored to my specific needs, I can confidently say these classes made a monumental difference in how I understand and approach photography. Susan’s thoughtful classes first helped me get to know the camera I am working with, then helped me with a variety of skills – from manipulating aperture and depth of field to how to pose people for group photos. The notes she provides for a budding photographer serve as a resource of everything you are learning, and they have helped me to continue to apply what I’ve learned after the course. While looking at photography classes and speaking to a number of photographers, it was obvious that Susan was the right choice based on her experience and the clear structure of her classes. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone looking to learn DSLR basics and beyond. “
Susan offers two levels of classes; Basic Photography and Beyond Basic Photography, to usher you through the process of learning about your camera, so that you can control the outcome of your photos!
“My goal is to help you have a working knowledge of your camera”
