Attending Hector's 'Get Out of Auto Mode' photography training was an enlightening experience. Hector's patience and extensive knowledge made the 10-hour session fly by. His insightful tips and guidance not only improved the quality of my pictures but also boosted my confidence in my photography skills. I left feeling more comfortable and equipped to explore new techniques. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their photography game. - Melissa

Let me begin by saying that I was signed up for this class against my will. I've had a Canon for a while but was not taking photos (because I didn't know how to use my camera lol) My husband sent me an email with the class info and told me he signed me up because the reviews were really good. I was in Hector's "Get Out Of Auto" class. It was very educational, fun, easy and empowering. He taught us how not only use our cameras but also gave us tips and on how, where and where. He 'made sure that every single person was on the same page and understood how to use their camera, settings etc..(even though there were all different types of cameras). The class is fairly long 7am-5:30pm. But you'll learn so much. He's very professional yet very personal. Very warm personality, friendly and funny. You will not regret taking this class especially if you are a beginner. I had a fantastic time, learned a lot and at the end of the class we all became friends. I would love to take another class by Hector. Can't wait to see what he's got in sore next! ***DON'T FORGET TO PRACTICE WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED!!!!
