Private Photography Lessons
This unique and personalized approach to learning photography or mixed media is designed for the beginning or intermediate person who wants to expand their understanding of the craft and work more creatively. This tutorial is very popular, especially as a unique gift. The content will be tailored to individual needs and interests. You will progress at your own pace through discussions, demonstrations, and/or critiques. This tutorial style can take you further and faster in the direction that you want to go and be flexible to accommodate both of our schedules. You must finish your 6 hours within a year of registration.
Students usually break the 6 hours into one or two hour sessions giving the student time between sessions to do some homework and reinforce the discussions. You can have a project in mind or if you are a beginner, I already know what you need.
Typical topics include learning your camera for more predictable results, controlling lighting, getting good natural light exposures, and more intermediate topics like: portrait lighting & posing, portfolio development, preparing for an exhibition, shooting your artwork, framing your work, photo Encaustic, mixed media, still life, close ups, product photography, Hand-coloring your photographs, how to promote your work, developing the basic skills necessary to go professional, etc. Each session has a balance of creative and technical aspects.
Private photography lessons are available in-person and online.
The in-person sessions take place at my home studio in Berkeley Heights, NJ and will be booked at our convenience. If I am required to travel to your location, the hourly rate applies to travel time.
The online sessions will be scheduled in accordance with our availability through Zoom. Once registered and a meeting date and time has been agreed upon, you will receive an email with a link to our first session.
Students can see and interact with Nancy, receive personal feedback and instruction, participate in demonstrations, and share their work and ideas. The only thing required to participate in the online sessions is a desktop computer with a camera and microphone, tablet with a camera and microphone, or smart phone. Zoom works with all operating systems.
FEE: $395 for a total of 6 hours. There is a reduced rate for more than one person signing up and attending together. Multiple people must attend together, a nice bonding experience for parents and teens. If you prefer working hourly, the fee is $65/hour for either in-person or online.
