What Students & Instructors Say?
Excellent digital photography school for photographers of all levels and experience. David La Neve is an excellent Photography Instructor, and very thorough with his approach to teaching and hands-on lessons. I highly recommend this school to all photographers, from beginners, to amateurs, and advanced levels, to improve their photography skills
, StudentI’ve taken many classes with David & his staff. It’s always very fun & you definitely learn a lot!
, StudentJust finished the Foundation Course with David. I was a novice at best. I am not a big reviewer but felt I needed to comment on this training. This is by far the BEST photography training you will get anywhere. They have exceptionally talented instructors. I have learned so much in such a short time. My photography as gone from Auto mode to full Manual with exceptional images. Images beyond what I imagined I could ever shoot. David is patient and shares all the ins and outs of photography. He is a hands on instructor with lots of creative real life shots. I highly recommend this course to anyone. You will be amazed!! Thank you David for a great experience. Look forward to more classes.
