"The one-on-one consultations were invaluable, since everything we discussed was tailored to my specific needs. This is just what I have been looking for, but haven’t found until now!" - Christy, Costa Mesa, CA
"I think taking this class was one of the best decisions I've made for my business period. I mean it. I was approaching the whole issue of my website and web presence from a perfectionistic artists perspective. The class gave me an entirely new perspective and direction to my marketing strategy (not just web based)." - Shane K, Lake Arrowhead, CA

Our Classes

Photography Classes

Before you can take consistently great photographs for your clients, you need to understand both your camera and lighting. We will cover everything from beginning to advanced camera settings, as well as, knowing when and how to use them correctly. We will also be offering lighting classes as well.

Photoshop & Lightroom Classes

An organized workflow is key for photographer efficiency. We offer classes on importing images into Lightroom for color correction and enhanced effects along with classes for all levels in Photoshop CS6; from learning what's new in CS6 to Effective Portrait Retouching. It's time to take your photo enhancement skills to the next level.

Web Promotion Classes

Studies show that over 80% of businesses that have a website do not know how to promote their businesses on the internet. Out of those 20% that do know how to promote online only 12% actually follow through with the work that is required to utilize the internet to the best of their ability to promote their products and services.

Sales & Marketing Classes

Although the goal of any business is to strive and create a stream of income, many photographers and artists alike are not comfortable with sales and the actual transaction of money from your client to you. We will give you an overview about the art of sales and tools you can use to increase your sales.
