I am very thankful to have found JP and his 3 hour beginner photo class on Groupon. I just started…read moregetting into photography last year with my Nikon D5300. I mainly shot photos in automatic mode while attempting to study the other modes, via YouTube videos and reading blogs. My last straw was after I took a trip to Antelope Canyon (look it up....it's a photographer's playground) and did not get the pictures I wanted. The beginning of the class was a little hectic since our class was over 20 people on a Saturday afternoon. JP and Jules helped set up everyone's cameras. I liked his teaching style, despite being the type of person who likes to memorize and take notes. Don't worry; he gives out a summary hand out at the end of the class. He had the class learn through a few exercises. We covered exposure compensation, aperture and shutter speed. The pace of the course was perfect and JP made sure everyone understood everything fully. I was amazed at how much I learned (and retained) in the 3 hours. At the end of the class, he offers an in-person discount for all of his other classes. I would highly recommend checking out this class; definitely worth the value! Thanks JP!
