Individual Instruction/Coaching

One-on-one instruction or coaching in any area of photography

One unique training that The Photo Classroom offers is individual photography instruction/coaching. We can provide you with one-on-one photography training, concentrating on your specific areas of need, experience level, and goals. Just a few of the ways we have helped our students are:

  • Teaching basics of photography and camera controls along the same lines as our Bootcamp class (and includes the same printable materials we use in this class)
  • Instruction on any of the topical classes we offer such as flash, sports, portraiture, architecture, and much much (this can count towards the classes required for our Certification levels)
  • Hands-on in-field shooting experience including real estate photography, product photography, outdoor photography, and more
  • Consulting for a small business or even a team at a corporation with help in areas such as product photography, setting up a studio, video or lighting training.
  • File management and computer assistance related to downloading, backing up, storing, or editing photographs.
  • Personalized image critique where a participant collects a selection of their favorite images and we discuss the technical and aesthetic merits of each one (great for putting together a personal portfolio or determining the best images to submit in a photo contest).
  • A small group class for younger students, a club, company, etc. designed around the goals of the promoter.
  • Small business setup or consulting

Available In-Person or Online (via Zoom)

The rate for Individual Instruction/Coaching is $200 per hour

What are people saying about Individual Instruction/Image Critique:

“I am Managing Partner of a CPA firm.  I wanted to learn digital photography but had little time available to attend classes.  Having one-on-one sessions with Brian Osborne was the answer.  In the two sessions I had with him, I learned more than I could imagine.  Brian is not only a good photographer but a good teacher.  For the first time, it all seemed to make sense.” – Mickey

“The value of one on one instruction is a given; time-efficient and productive if you have the right instructor. Brian’s knowledge, friendliness, and style of teaching made for very fun and valuable lessons; and of course, all your questions will be answered. Whatever your needs are, whether it is a new topic or as a refresher, having Brian’s individual attention will surely elevate your skills and knowledge in a very relaxed setting.” – Dr. Ed Shapiro
