Private Photography Classes
Learning photography is both fun and challenging. Private photography classes are a great way to accelerate your learning and overcome those challenges. Because there is a lot to learn in order to master photography it's easy to get stuck. Taking a personalized private class helps you work through the exact areas you're having problems with. With private lessons you'll feel more confident, more creative, and will love how much more enjoyment you'll get out of your photography.
All virtual and in-person private photography classes are lead by me, professional photographer Don Orkoskey, the owner of WDO Photography. I have over 15 years experience teaching amazing students just like yourself. You have my promise that after my class you'll feel more certain, decisive and sure of yourself when you pick up your camera.
Private Photography Classes for Kids and Teens
Private photography classes for kids and teens encourage creativity, empathy, and they reinforce STEM learning. Kids and teens are bombarded with information in school. They're often not taught how that knowledge is applied. Photography lessons help them see their schoolwork in action.
Additionally, the focus on STEM at the expense of the arts and humanities means children need extracurriculars to grow in these areas. The arts and humanities help us to develop empathy, emotional maturity, and so much more. Private lessons for your child will give them an advantage in these areas.
I personally teach every class and have my PA clearances to work with children. Additionally I've taught children at a variety of settings including the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, the Andy Warhol Museum, the Homeless Children's Education Fund, and The Westmoreland Museum of American Art. Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to attend private classes.
Take A Class Together
Take a private class together with your children. Photography is a great way to bond with and strengthen your relationship. I've run into several former parent/child students years after our classes ended with their cameras. The bonds you can strengthen in such a class are unbelievable.
Class Content
Teen and kids photography classes are engaging, interactive, and fun. We learn by harnessing the innate creativity inside of all of us. These classes provide practice solving problems. They're centered on creating what we envision through a focus on solutions. The process I follow is based in the most up-to-date educational methodologies. They're also incredibly enjoyable.
