** Scheduling for this 1:1 class is flexible. Please contact me if you need a different day and time.**

Many students do well in a group setting, but many others prefer to be the sole learner. When a student is the only learner in a class, the teacher is able to spend more time explaining concepts. Also, learners can work at their own pace. I enjoy teaching one-on-one classes because they feel more laid back and less rushed.

In this one-on-one photography class, we'll work at the learner's pace to cover the following topics:

- Rules of composition
- Exposure triangle
- Manual settings on the DSLR or on manual camera apps for smartphones
- Various genres of photography
- Creative photography (abstract photography will be my main focus)
- Basic editing 

We'll also have weekly exercises and assignments that will be shared during class. 

I like to begin each lesson with a Powerpoint presentation (if applicable), and then the remainder of class is spent discussing the lesson and practicing shooting with our cameras.  
I am always open to questions, and I try my best to answer them to the best of my knowledge. I believe that no question is a bad question, so I like to give my students plenty of opportunities to ask away. I am also open to letting the student request or suggest ideas for future classes. In this class, we'll work together to plan each lesson.

I believe that photography (especially abstract photography) is all about creativity and personal expression. Photographers are artists! No one should tell an artist that their creations are wrong or bad. I try to guide my students in the right direction by asking what they like about their images and what they could do to improve them. I never give harsh criticism! I will, however, critique and advise.

After learning about exposure and settings, this class will focus mainly on creative photography, but we will also spend some time on traditional photography.
