I have been teaching photography to high school students for 12 years. I feel like I have perfected how to teach photography to beginners in all aspects. I find that the best method of teaching is to be engaging and to create easy to follow tutorials with simple instructions. I hope that you find what you have been looking for to help you start on your adventure with photography. Please leave comments and suggestions about what you want to learn and I will do my best to teach.
