Bring the camera you have, even a phone, and level up from there.

Introduction To Film

A film class usually covers the art and business of making movies. You'll likely learn about film history, different genres, how to analyze films, and maybe even some hands-on filmmaking techniques like screenwriting, directing, cinematography, and editing. It's a great way to dive into how movies are created and understood.

Self-paced courses

Show Up and Express Yourself Naturally

Other

This course is for anyone who wants to communicate naturally and with ease. Whether you're reserved and want to find your voice, communicate more effectively in personal relationships, grow in your career, or feel more at ease speaking or performing online, on camera, or in front of a live audience, this course will help you discover your unique voice and express it with clarity and confidence. In a supportive and encouraging environment, I work with each participant at their own pace, guiding them through the process of uncovering and strengthening their authentic self-expression. Along the way, you'll build the confidence to communicate more openly while also developing the equally important skill of being a present, attentive, and supportive listener for the others. The result is more meaningful communication, deeper connections, and the confidence to show up as yourself in any situation.

The Art of Seeing: Learn through Master Photographers

The Art of Seeing: Learn through Master Photographers

Other

In this interactive class, we'll explore photographs by some of our greatest photographers, old school and contemporary, and discover what makes their images so compelling. Through guided discussion, you'll learn to recognize light, composition, color, emotion, timing, and storytelling, while developing a deeper appreciation for how photographs communicate. This isn't a lecture or a technical photography class. It's an opportunity to slow down, look carefully, and discover how master photographers see the world. By the end of the session, you'll have a new framework for looking at photographs—and, ultimately, for seeing the world around you.

Photography & Film — frequently asked questions

Do I need an expensive camera to take a photography class?
No. Many classes work with whatever you own, including a smartphone, and focus on composition, light, and technique — skills that carry over to any camera you upgrade to later.
Do photography and film classes cover editing?
Many do. Look for classes on photo retouching, video editing, and post-production — the class page lists which software is used so you can follow along on your own machine.
Are these classes suitable for beginners?
Yes. You'll find beginner sessions that demystify manual mode, framing, and basic editing, alongside advanced classes on cinematography and animation for those ready to go deeper.
