About

Without leaving the comfort of your home, you can get 2 hours of training from Paris-trained architectural photographer and Washington Photo Safari Director E. David Luria, who has directed the instruction of 38,000 amateur clients since 1999. You can set the 2-hour instruction period at a day and time convenient to your schedule.

No need to Zoom, you can do this in your "jammies!" Working with you just on your phone, David will explain to you exactly what those confusing F stops are all about on the “A” or “Av” Aperture Priority setting of your camera, while you take pictures of objects in your home at different apertures. Then he will guide you through the “S” or “Tv” Shutter Priority settings as you take pictures of moving people or pets in your home or back yard at different shutter speeds.

Next he will show you the effects of raising and lowering the ISO sensitivity settings, and adjusting the white balance settings to get different color casts to your photos, even showing you how to manipulate the Kelvin Scale of color temperatures, all features that you have paid for in your camera but are not using!

If you make it this far, he will then have you work on that scary “M” or Manual Mode, where you have disabled the camera meter and you have to do all the adjustments yourself. Having taught photography for 21 years, David knows the menus of most cameras.

OR, you may be the type of photographer who is very comfortable with the technology of the camera but feel you need in help in photographic composition. We have you covered! During the session you can also send him photos you have just taken, or photos you have taken in the past, so that they can be reviewed and improved. And at the end of the session, David will email you written tips to reinforce what you learned.
