Some of the best photography classes that I've ever taken. Possibly, the best one in Texas. I took all of the classes that the school has to offer. If you're still on the fence, do it. I cannot recommend them enough. Each session is highly engaging and I always learn something new at the end of it. Andrew, the instructor, teaches us all of the necessary fundamentals that allow us to assemble any shot we want.

If you are a hobby photographer like me and think you know a thing or two about photography, then this school is for you. You will quickly learn that what you know is only a partial picture (sorry for the pun) of what is essential knowledge in expressing yourself and making sure you are able to take every shot with intention and the desired outcome, without leaving things to chance. I cannot recommend Photography 1 enough, even for those who have been shooting for a long time.

This is it! Best class i’ve taken in a long time! Each and every class that I come to I am blown away by the amount of new knowledge i’ve acquired. Homework every class helps you understand the coursework well and there’s a fun atmosphere to look at these assignments and really understand what went well and what could have been done different. After just Photo I you will walk out with a very strong foundation for Photography. Looking forward to Photo II!

Andrew is an amazing teacher. He succinctly explains complex topics and gradually builds your knowledge. Highly recommend both his classes (I and II). He does not just tell you what camera settings to use for each condition but the theory behind each setting.
