If you’re looking for private, One on One photography instruction, then you’ve come to the right place.
I provide hands-on, in-the-field (or at-the-kitchen-table) lessons in a variety of locations and settings. Pricing varies based on the location of the instruction, but if you’re willing to come to Newport Beach, California, the fee is currently $99 for a 2-hour session.
For those of you looking for longer term, intensive private or small group instruction, including international travel with me as your private photographic guide, please contact me for more details and custom pricing. You can e-mail me with all the details of the trip you’d like me to be a part of, and with complete information I can customize pricing. This is a great way to learn a lot about photography in a short period of time.
