Dedicated TO TEACHING THE CRAFT and ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY

PhotoArts Marin was created in 2007. Over this past 17 years I have taught approximately 1,800 students how to operate their camera, the craft, and art of photography and Photoshop in small groups or in private classes. I made the transition from teaching groups to private classes when it became very clear that this individual attention was much more successful. (Please see student reveiws)

 PhotoArts California was created early in 2018 when I began teaching private classes online (Zoom, Face Time Webex) to students from Florida to Hawaii and this has proven to be effective and convenient.

Every student receives a comprehensive guide for their camera and printed materials - via PDF - for every class.

Private classes teach the student how to build a solid foundation in understanding - using the camera, the craft and art and why i is important to, initially, ignore 90% of what their camera can do. They also learn how to organize and store their photos, create slide shows, what file formats to use and how to prep an image for printing, Today’s cameras are complex and Photoshop can be confusing yet  all of it can be easily understood and managed with the proper instruction. With Practice, Persistence and Patience every student will be given the tools to succeed.

I can say with absolute confidence that these classes will be successful if the student takes personal initiative to apply what is taught.  Because questions always come up, ongoing support is available to every student for their camera and what is covered in their classes.
