SF, Bay Area Experienced Photographer well-versed in photography, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, and Illustrator offering lessons in any of the above!

Methodology

My teaching method is to figure out where the student is struggling and focus on building the skills necessary to improve those areas. I think every student's learning style is unique, and I adapt my teaching techniques according to each student. I believe in developing a safe and honest learning environment where the student can not only feel confident in confiding in me for any questions or concerns they may have, but also creating a fun atmosphere. I hope to enable my students to become confident in their knowledge and skills, and inspire a passion for learning and creativity.

Background

Hello! I'm currently a Freshman majoring in Communication at the University of Southern California. I've been running my own photography business for the past four years. I'm well-versed in utilizing camera settings, techniques, composition, etc. as well as programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, and Illustrator. I can offer basic photography lessons, or if you'd like to delve into specific topics or areas, I'm well-equipped to do so as well.
