Photography & Photoshop Private Lessons

“After working with Malinda in my 1:1 class I feel more able to take “photographer” quality pictures. After sharing some recent shots with her she easily identified several things for me to correct to help enhance the way my pictures turn out . Her advice on how to use my camera was very informative and really enhanced my latest round of photos taken. Malinda also gave me pointers using Photoshop. One pointer in particular will save me hours of wasted time. The class was worth every penny.” Stephanie R. 1-1 Lesson

Testimonial

I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed the 1st lesson. As soon as I got home, I took your advice and shot a couple of dozen pictures of my German Shepherd!... all of a sudden, things started to gel for me and now I am going around taking shot after shot of everything that strikes my mood. I'm having a blast!... As I told my sister before the 1st class...I want to take photographs..not just pictures". Donna
