Art of Photography - Mentoring

I'd love for you to join me for a unique learning experience where we can explore different environments together! We can dive into the theory and knowledge first, whether it's a couple of hours spent at the Park City Library, your home, my home, or any convenient spot. Then, we can take it outdoors for a hands-on adventure to put everything we've learned into practice. It’s a fun mix of instruction and real-world application—I hope you'll join me! I will be your chauffeur and teacher.
