Alina was thorough in her preparation and the materials that she provided to teach me how to use my Nikon D3300. She was patient and clear in her explanations, and always encouraging as we experimented with different techniques. And she pointed out composition issues with my photos that I didn’t notice, raising my awareness of ways to isolate the subject and take better-looking pictures. I’m a beginner in digital photography, and feel much more comfortable talking about and taking photos after my session with Alina.

First my thought was having a class in the park was different, but I adjusted and had fun and enjoyed myself!

Great course

I really enjoyed my session with Alina and the weather didn’t deter her enthusiasm for photography. I really enjoyed how she came prepared to discuss the topics I expressed interest in and also brought her own intuition on where to jump from my interests. The length of the time of the class was a little daunting but Alina’s warmth and expertise made the time fly by and allowed us to take things slowly and let them unfurl at a natural pace.
I would recommend the class to a friend and I felt that I learned something new and practical to take forward as a photographer

Alina- It was a pleasure to meet you as well, and I sincerely appreciate all of the information you shared during the course of the class- and of course for all of the information you’ve followed up with here.
I am greatly looking forward to implementing the knowledge and wisdom you’ve shared here during the course of my photography journey, and I truly think it will go a long way towards helping me hit the ground running and to really enjoy experimenting/shooting.
You are a fantastic teacher, and the care that you have for the craft of photography absolutely shines through, and makes the experience of taking a class with you that much more fulfilling and enjoyable.
