With over 30 years of experience in photojournalism, 21 of those were with 5 different newspapers and having my MFA degree from one of the top-rated schools for photojournalism in the country, Ohio University, I am able to instruct students from amateurs all the way up to other professional photographers in skills of formal composition, lighting and photojournalism. Heck, even two of my professors from where I received my master's degree consulted with me on shooting weddings! Score! I was also approached to teach for two colleges in the Bay area, but preferred the life of working in the field. I have heaps of things I could teach that photo enthusiast who's been told by their family and friends that they've got a knack for the photographic arts and should learn more about the field! I also have a ton of things to pass onto more advanced students. Courses would be one-on-one with me and would be photo-intense with conceptualizing a photo shoot, to the actual shoot and following through with the post-processing editing. All one-on-one, it'd be a true learning experience and you'd walk away from the session with part of a new portfolio!

Info:
Courses are one-on-one with me, Stephanie, a master at photography. I've been a photographer for more that 30 years and I know how to explain things in multiple ways. I was approached to teach at Las Positas College and Ohlone College in both college's photography departments.
Courses are specifically and meticulously designed just for the photography student, ranging in ages from childhood to adults, amateurs to budding pros. It's preferred that my students have their own working DSLR camera body with interchangeable lenses for the upmost experience.
