Photography Lessons in the Philadelphia Area
Ten Years of Professional Experience.
A Decade of Fine Art Storytelling.
Now, It’s Your Turn.
Photography isn’t just about clicking a button — it’s about seeing light, shaping emotion, and telling a story that feels alive. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to refine your artistic voice, my photography lessons are designed to help you create intentional, meaningful images with confidence.
These are hands-on, real-world photography lessons rooted in fine art — not trends, shortcuts, or presets.
Fine Art Photography Classes & Mentoring
Ready to elevate your photography and finally understand why an image works?
My photography classes and private mentoring sessions are built to help you move beyond “pretty” and into purposeful, professional-level work — from shooting to editing to presentation.
What You’ll Learn
How to master composition and use it to tell a story
How to find and shape light in any environment — beach, field, home, or city
How to see creatively and use angles that bring life and emotion into your images
How to hand-edit with intention to transform an image from ordinary to extraordinary
This is about learning to see differently, not just copy a look.
A Hands-On, Supportive Learning Experience
I don’t believe in vague advice or overwhelming theory. Every session is practical, encouraging, and tailored to you.
You’ll walk away knowing:
What to look for before you even lift your camera
How to shoot with confidence and clarity
How to edit with consistency and purpose
How to develop your own recognizable style
From “meh” to WOW — without the guesswork.
