Why I Love Teaching Photography and What to Expect from My Photography Courses

Photography has been a profound part of my life for the last 16 years, shaping my perspective, fueling my creativity, and allowing me to tell meaningful stories through my lens. But beyond capturing beautiful moments, one of the most fulfilling aspects of my journey has been teaching photography—helping others unlock their creative potential and build confidence behind the camera.

Why I Love Teaching Photography

1. Watching Others Grow and Find Their Style

One of the most rewarding experiences as a photography educator is witnessing my students’ progress. Seeing someone go from unsure about their camera settings to confidently creating stunning images is incredible. Every student brings a unique vision, and helping them develop their own artistic style is a joy.

2. Building a Supportive Photography Community

Photography can sometimes feel like a solo journey, but I believe in the power of a creative community. Through my courses, I aim to foster an environment where students feel comfortable sharing their work, asking questions, and learning from one another. A strong support system is key to growing as a photographer.

3. Helping Others Avoid Common Mistakes

When I first started, I made plenty of mistakes—technical errors, pricing missteps, branding struggles. Through years of experience, I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t, and I love passing on those lessons so my students can achieve success faster and with fewer frustrations.

4. The Joy of Seeing a Student’s ‘Lightbulb Moment’

Nothing compares to the excitement of watching a student have that “aha!” moment—whether it’s mastering manual mode, nailing composition, or finally achieving the perfect lighting. Those moments remind me why I do what I do.
