Lessons via Zoom – Private Online Photography Education
I am offering private photography lessons via Zoom.
One on One Photography Instruction
- Tailored specifically to fit your individual needs
- You pick the topics that you like to learn
- We will go through the information at the pace that is best for you
- You can ask as many questions as you want
- You can pick the day and time of the lesson. I am very flexible
Will there be a recording?
Yes, there will be a recording of our session available to you. This allows you to go over any detail again at your pace. You can either watch it on a custom/private page or download it to your computer.
What is the price?
- 1 hour $100
- 2 hours $150
2 hours is recommended as that time allows us to cover the workflow at an easy to follow pace and leaves time for discussion. You can purchase multiple blocks of time.
Private: 1 Hour Zoom Session
$100.00
2 Hour Zoom Session
$175.00
How does it work?
Please use my contact form and let me know your level of photography experience and topics you would like to learn. Then (or before) you can pay for one or two hours of online education. After payment, we can schedule an appointment. You can also buy lessons as a gift for other people.
We will connect using Zoom. It is free software. During the Zoom session we can talk to each other and I can share my desktop view directly with you. You will be able to see exactly what I am doing in Photoshop or any other program. It is a fun and laid-back way of learning but also offers a lot of information. A video for personal use only (please do not distribute online) will be available afterwards so you can go over each step again.
Please contact me for further information or to book a session!
