Private Lessons are tailored to students’ skill level and interests and can focus a variety of topics including (but not limited to): camera operations, photographic processes, equipment, software, composition, lighting, printing, specific genres or techniques, and more.
Mentorship Programs
Mentorships Programs offer photographers personal guidance at the highest level from one of HCP’s Mentors or Advanced Photography Practices instructors. Mentorships are designed for image-makers looking to develop their photographic work, edit and sequence personal projects, improve their marketing and online presence, design or publish a photobook, prepare for an exhibition, or any other professional aspiration.
