"Hello. I am a professional photographer in Phoenix. I obtained my degree in photography in 2001 where I learned film and digital photography. I love teaching people how to use their cameras. All cameras, whether they are Nikon, canon, or anything else, work in pretty much the same way. Once you have an understanding of how one works, you should be able to pick up any camera and make great pictures. My goal would be to teach you how to understand the basics of how a camera works so that you can understand and use your camera in manual mode in any situation and get the results you want. If you are shooting digital (which most people are) then you will also need a basics lesson in a photo editing software such as Photoshop so that you can make your images look their best and organize your files for easy access. I am able to provide training in this area as well. Once you get into the advanced stages, if you wish to continue learning, I am able to teach you studio lighting and posing as well." less...
