Sergio provided a great lesson on composition, in practice, today. Sergio taught me so much by having me set the composition and the tripod positions and floral arrangements. He does not only know so much about photography, he also has an incredible method for teaching photography to others. He meets students where they are at, meaning to him every student is an individual at a particular level, but also a personality that learns in their own way. He works with each student according to their learning style and he does so with grace and generosity.

Sergio was a pleasure. I felt his 3 part class was very well crafted, answered all my questions, and gave me necessary perspective and skills. Highly recommend.

Sergio is passionate about teaching and sharing knowledge. He makes sure that you're comfortable and understand your camera settings and taking pictures. I'm looking forward to my next class. Did I mention that he also supports a charity in Africa. Book a class and see for yourself, he's great.

I was overwhelmed even at the thought of starting Lightroom lessons. I had heard that the program was complex and required a long learning curve. Sergio's lessons were organized and thorough. His explanations were clear, and the organizational hand out was very helpful. Sergio adapted some portions of the lessons to accommodate my particular objectives. He was extremely patient with my questions and whenever I needed to have some demonstrations repeated.

We hired Sergio to shoot our daughter's communion. He was on time, and professional, and made the whole family feel at ease. He took his time and made sure we got all combinations of family members.We received the proofs on a timely basis. And once we decided on the proofs we wanted, the final printed images were delivered as promised.

Who knew I could take such incredible pictures with the iPhone? It takes a certain technique though, and that's what Sergio teaches you

I have had multiple private lessons with Sergio. He is equally talented as a photographer and as an educator. Some people are very skilled at their craft but are not able to convey the information appropriately for a lay person to learn. This is not so with Sergio. He is completely accessible and personable and will tailor his lessons to suit your needs. I have seen my ability and confidence radically improve under his tutelage and when I am attempting a shot I can hear his voice guiding me! In addition, his studio is lovely land peaceful and all proceeds from his reasonably priced lessons are donated to a very worthy cause. I had wanted to improve my skills with digital photography and Light Room for a long time - I wish I had found Sergio sooner. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
