Virtual Digital Photography I
Veronica is knowledgeable and passionate about photography and her outgoing personality is part of making her a good teacher. She presented the technical information in a way that was easy to understand without slipping into professional jargon and terms we might not have understood. Finally, even though the course was online, she's figured out how to make it work well. -
Basic Photography
Kathy Adams Clark did a great job of teaching an online photography class. I wanted to wait until in person classes start again, being incredibly ADHD(really) but not knowing when that will possibly be, I decided to try this. Clark was very thorough in her explanations, and even sent a recording of the class afterwards. I would for sure take another class with her if in person doesn't start up again (She's in TX, I am in CA) -

Fantastic. A wonderful and simple way to learn the 101 on photography. Highly recommend. -

Amazing! I am a very visual learner so I was a bit nervous about a virtual class, but Francisco provided many visuals with EXCELLENT descriptions to help us learn. Within just 5 classes, I went from not knowing anything about photography (aside from auto) to knowing how to take real images on manual settings. I HIGHLY recommend this class, and I will be back to take advanced classes soon. Thank you! -

The course was very helpful in learning the basics of photography. The examples provided really helped understanding what the effects of each setting would do.

It was extremely insightful and I would definitely recommend this to beginners! -

The basics - Camera
I thought the instructor, Gabe, was very knowledgeble about various cameras, but most importantly, was able to explain settings and features on my camera to achieve creative capabilities that I was having trouble with. Unfortunately I probably will miss the second (8/19, 6-9p) of three classes but am hoping to make it up in one of the other sessions(8/27, 2-5p ?). -

Kathy breaks it all down simply, makes it all easy to understand. I feel like I learned WAY more than I had expected to from a "beginner" course! Brought 2 friends with me, and they feel the same way. Kathy has a great speaking voice, so she's very easy to listen to. She is very organized, stays on track and finishes on time as well. We are looking forward to taking more courses with her!! Thank you !! Cheryl Kiser Jones Creek, Tx -
