Photography Crash Course 1
Pat was an excellent instructor. She answered every question thoroughly and patiently, even the ones that were random and a little off-topic. She explained everything very very clearly. She kept reassuring us that we would get it, and eventually we did. Although the crash course is a whole lot of information, and my head was spinning, I feel like I know have some essentials that I can practice on and at least start to use this fancy camera that I have… -

Mindy was just as awesome as all of the other reviewers stated. I finally learned how to use a camera that I’ve had for six years. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to get started on their digital photography journey. -

My husband and I took this class to learn how to use our nice camera before traveling to Japan for our honeymoon. Both of us feel that we cannot recommend this course highly enough! Mindy makes photography seem fun, approachable, and intuitive instead of intimidating and difficult. She broke down the key areas that we needed to understand in order to use our camera in a comprehensive, yet easy to understand, manner. We highly recommend this course for anyone looking to gain familiarity and ease in using their digital cameras! -
Digital Photography I: Taking Control of Your Camera
Really great format for beginners. Each class breaks down on single component with minimal hw to help reinforce those ideas. After you've learned the basics in the first three classes you graduate to full manual mode and practice/learn how to layer all the components in together to achieve your desired effect. 10/10 recommend! -

Mindy was a fantastic teacher. The class was small, which was a plus for me. She was approachable, knowledgeable, and an experienced photographer in her own right. My friend and I went together.
