Overview
About our private photography lessons
Are you tired of sifting through conflicting advice from online sources while trying to learn photography? Books can be a great resource, but they can’t offer the personalized guidance and support that you might need. At Exposure Therapy, we offer private, one-on-one photography courses that are customized to your unique learning style and needs.
Whether you want to focus on specific techniques or just want to get some hands-on practice, your experienced instructor will be there to support you every step of the way. We can even customize a course just for you, or you can choose from one of our existing group photography lesson plans.
Ready to take your photography skills to the next level? Sign up for a private course with Exposure Therapy and get the personalized attention and support you need to succeed.
