This place was amazing! I took the free class and will also be taking more classes! I had no confidence in my pictures and after 1 class, I learned enough in 30 minutes for my pictures to be way better going forward! He explains it in a way that’s easy to learn! I plan to use the space they have also! There is no where else in temple like this place for photographers! If you take your craft serious, give this place a try!
