I just finished taking all 4 courses that ASOP offers. I had pursued quite a bit of photography…read moreeducation before I started these classes, so I was already frustrated with how challenging it was to fill my gaps in knowledge. From the very first Photo 1 class, Andrew positioned the material in ways I'd never heard or read before. All of the curriculum has been shaped to gradually level up a student's potential. By the 24th class, I was bursting with excitement about what I now knew how to do. I can now go out and talk with long-time professional photographers and contribute to the conversation. I've been encouraging Andrew to start publishing articles and a book. Until then, photography enthusiasts in Austin are super fortunate that ASOP is available for all of us.

I just love Andrew! Be prepared, he cannot sit still at all and walks around all class. So, if…read moreyou're looking for a person to sit down right in front of you and just talk about a camera, that's not his style. He is hands on! "Everyone get your cameras out." "Ok, what kind do you rock?" "What kind of photos do you currently enjoy taking?" "What kind of photos do you hope to take one day?" "Let's discuss this." "Now what are we shooting for?" "Is it time? Is it it Light? How much distance is involved?" At first everything is very stright forward, learning the mechanics of the computer in your hands. Because, let's face it, it's a computer. Unless you're that one person in class rocking an old school film camera, which is amazing - please be that person and make the rest of us jelly. He gives homework, well thought out and explained. He sends follow up emails after every class explaining the homework assignements again. And he loves for people to print out their photos so we can all discuss our photos and learn form one another. Also, he seems to know every camera so very well. He can figure out opperating systems super fast. I've had my camera for over a year and still get frustrated trying to find somthing. Hence the reson I stick as much stuff on my Favorites tab as possible. Not Andrew though, he can find anything on anyone's camera in under 30 seconds it seems. Trust me, once you see how many cameras he must work with each and every day, this is impressive. I've only taken level one class, but already paid for level two. Before too long I plan on taking all of his classes. He really challenges me to get outside of my comfort zone, understand my equipment better, and really wants me to succeed. If it weren't for Andrew's classes I would be stuck taking only classes at ACC that do not fit into my schedule. I'm so glad Andrew started this School. Go and take just one class - you won't be disappointed.

Had a great experience getting my headshot done with Kevin!…read more He was quick in responding when I inquired about getting a professional headshot for work. After my initial call, he had sent a form to get my appointment booked for the next weekday. I arrived about 15-20 minutes earlier than my expected appointment and never brought it up, nor did he make me wait. He also offered to wear a mask if I felt more comfortable and offered me a bottled water. I never felt rushed, and he made it clear he could take as many photos as I'd like until I was satisfied. Highly recommend.

I just returned from Kevin's "Fall Photography Fundamentals Workshop" and it is the best class I…read morehave ever taken, and I have taken a lot. He was so prepared to the point he provided the class with binders that included all of the information he was showing on the screen. All we had to do was make a few notes if we wanted which allowed us to pay attention to what he was showing and saying. He is extremely patient and goes out of his way to be sure every student understands what he is saying. I don't care how long you've been photographing, I'm pretty sure you'll learn something new. If you're a beginner this is definitely the class to be in. I cannot recommend his classes enough. They are not overpriced and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

I've taken several of these classes and LOVED each one. If you're starting out in photography or…read moretrying to gain some new tips, these classes offer a platform where you can ask all the questions you've been harboring AND find out new ideas and tricks you never knew. I suggest taking the classroom class first, then going on a photowalk (a must do, you will get amazing photos!) and then taking the Lightroom class. All the instructors really know what they're talking about and it's a casual and small enough class that you can get some good quality time with them. These classes finally make you feel familiar with your camera and confident enough to go shoot on your own. I highly recommend them : ).

Gary was excellent! A skilled photographer and consummate professional, Mr. Carrillo assisted us…read morewith my son's first photography class. Gary showed me that his abilities and patience extend to all age ranges and skill levels. He researched my son's camera prior to the course and was able to answer all questions, as well as preemptively show us how to artistically approach shots from different angles and focal points. My eleven year old emerged out of the session with a better understanding of photography than myself (at least pretty close to it) and an experience which he hasn't stopped talking about yet!

From the owner: I'm an Austin Texas based photographer. I specialize in automobile, motor sport, and aviation…read morephotography. In short, if it has a motor... I've always had a passion for fast cars, planes, really anything that roared or soared. With the opening of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, it gave me the opportunity to indulge that passion. I found a wonderful creative outlet to be able to combine my passion for those incredible objects, along with capturing moments that showcased how I felt about them. My photography is done to help others find the passion in these subjects that drives the pursuit of speed and flight. I'm self taught, and enjoy teaching immensely. Sharing my knowledge with someone who has a similar passion for their work is something I find incredibly rewarding. If you have a project that you think my style would suit, please don't hesitate to contact me just because an engine isn't involved. I have a broad range of photographic interests, and I'd love to find my next great passion starting with your project.

Completely worth the money, and my time! I'm certainly a fan of Texas Photo Workshops, and I've…read moreonly yet taken one of their classes, (the Wildflower Photography class). The class was easy to find, and Leslie got back to me very quickly when I called to activate my Amazon.com, (through LivingSocial) voucher. She also sent me additional information and directions to the class and asked me to email back a confirmation that I had received the information which was great. Held at the very lovely Lakeway, TX Activity Center, we had a small class with Kevin, who is a delightful, thoughtful, and insightful teacher. He brought a lot of his equipment and took us through explanations of equipment, (bought and made) and shooting techniques and software techniques that I found incredibly interesting. He also stopped to patiently answer the many questions our group had, and took his time throughout the entire class to really give us a quality experience. After the class two of us stayed back for a moment and talked with him a little bit which was cool. I'm hooked - I'm thinking about taking some of the other classes that Texas Photo Workshops offers, including one of their many excursion workshops that sound amazing. I'd like to say a big Thank You to both Kevin and Leslie, and everyone at Texas Photo Workshops for providing such a great experience, I'm glad I saw your deal on Amazon, and I'm glad that I took a chance to come in and learn with you!

Don is great -- the best photographer in Austin. I needed some corporate headshots in a hurry…read more Don was able to give me three times that worked for him and we booked the appointment. He texted me the address - we drove to his studio and he was right on time. He took a bunch of shots and my wife and I decided on three of them. Then we picked the best one. He did his photoshop magic and we were done. Copied two versions of the file, one high rez the other for social media. The process couldn't have been easier. Highly recommended.
