All classes are hosted as walking / interactive workshops that feature detailed / personalized instruction aimed at showing you how to use your camera (Point and Shoot or SLR) to capture images in real settings ..how you want them to look, on demand; because nothing is more frustrating than having that perfect travel image right in front of you...and NOT being able to capture it! For those less interested in the technical aspects of photography and who would rather learn about Chicago from a photographer's point of view, we do have less intensive experiences available as well.To us, it does not matter whether a student has a point and shoot or SLR, because photography is about capturing lighting and angles, not about how much you paid for your camera. Through our extensive experience and knowledge of all cameras on the market, we can teach them how to take the types of images they want, on demand, by showing them how to utilize their camera outside of the auto mode and achieve its and their full potential; and we do this by breaking down the technical components...and making them easy to understand and apply. So the next time they want to capture the perfect shot in a perfect..or imperfect setting...they can. « less

Jason was a great teacher who was able to help me grasp not only the basics of my digital point and shoot camera, but also teach me how to compose a great photo. He was extremely patient and informative about the mechanics of how to use the manual settings of your camera and override the presets to take some great... More

Jason Wolf is AWESOME!! First, I have to mention that I'm hearing impaired/hard-of-hearing and Jason was very patient and understanding. He made sure I could read his lip and repeat info anytime. Even if I just forgot what setting, Jason is willing to teach and ready to help! And now about photography, I took the interactive class in the heart... More

My wife bought me this class as a present and to be honest I wasn't that much excited about a 2h group photography class. I already had some good basics on how to use my camera and though that because it was a group beginner class it wouldn't be covering my needs. During the class Jason completely adapted the class...

What a great time. I had my "special camera" for a while now with no clue how to properly use it. I bought this experience with a friend from work. We thought it would be a neat idea walking downtown Chicago learning how to use our cameras instead of sitting in a classroom setting. Little did we know it would... More

I have recently discovered that photo sessions in new cities is the way to go for great value for the money. Not only do you get to learn from professional photographers but you also get a one on one tour guide of the city. Jason certainly did not disappoint. He helped me tremendously with my photography and certainly helped in... More

Had an excellent experience with Jason. My wife did the class and she enjoyed it so much that I did it. Definitely recommended for the people like me who shoot in "Auto" mode all the time because they don’t know how to utilize the zillions of functions on the SLR's- I don’t think I’ll ever use "Auto" again. I was... More

Jason did a wonderful job of taking me through my digital camera's basic functions and showing me how to optimize my shots. I no longer have to shoot on the IA setting. He is also very personable and fun to be with. I had a great time.
