It was a great experience. I was lucky enough to have a small group showing so we have a lot more individual time to ask questions and play with our cameras.
100% recommend for beginners who are just learning to use a camera.
-
Instructor was great, I walked away feeling like I really knew how to get started with my camera
-
The class was very good. Mindy taught in a very simple way so we could perfectly understand the basics of manual photo shooting. We are now in manhattan practicing and having really great results.
-
The class was entirely unexpected and delightful.
I've always been more aware of my thoughts than in touch with my feelings. By sharing her insights into the role of intuition in the artistic process, Mindy opened a new world for me.
Thanks so much!
-
I took the beginner class with Mindy, and I cannot recommend it more highly! Mindy was a patient and informative teacher, and helped me understand the basics of what goes into a good photo. Recommend this course to anyone interested in photography who is feeling overwhelmed with their first camera.
-
Learned something about my phone but they should let you know for the class to bring a manual phone. Instructor was very nice and personal
-
-
My husband and I took this class to learn how to use our nice camera before traveling to Japan for our honeymoon. Both of us feel that we cannot recommend this course highly enough! Mindy makes photography seem fun, approachable, and intuitive instead of intimidating and difficult. She broke down the key areas that we needed to understand in order to use our camera in a comprehensive, yet easy to understand, manner. We highly recommend this course for anyone looking to gain familiarity and ease in using their digital cameras!
-
Teacher really took time explaining camera. Kids actually so excited about learning camera the next day they took out the camera and started taking pictures.
-
-
-
Mindy was a fantastic teacher. The class was small, which was a plus for me. She was approachable, knowledgeable, and an experienced photographer in her own right. My friend and I went together. It was a great start for her and a really good refresher course for me. Both of us came from slightly different starting off points, and still found the class to be very helpful.
-
-
-
Great class.
-
Mindy is a great teacher, I feel comfortable shooting on Manual for the first time, after having my SLR for almost 10 years. Great class!
-
I enjoyed the class. The instructor was knowledgeable & personable. I learned the difference between manual & automatic cameras. I plan to take the follow up class.
-
Incredible experience, the time FLEW by! Mindy is a really great teacher, knowledgeable, thoughtful, very understanding and she made this so accesible and easy. She gave us assignments to focus on once the class is complete and I feel so inspired and motivated to get out there and be creative!
-
Mindy was awesome!
-
This is an excellent class. Mindy, the teacher, gives you a hands on, easy-to-learn approach to photography, explaining complex concepts in layman's terms with easily digestible examples. As someone who has never picked up a digital camera before, I wasn't sure how I was going to do, but within the three hours of the class she put my fears aside. I feel ready to go out and take some photos with my new camera. I highly recommend this class!
-
Mindy is an incredible teacher who is truly dedicated to her students. She made the information incredibly accessible and her enthusiasm for the subject is infectious. Having had no experience with my camera, I left the class with a basic understanding of manual mode and felt confident with my knowledge. She provides just enough information without making the class feel "too technical". I cannot recommend this class enough.
-
This was was super helpful, and Mindy was great! She's enthusiastic, patient, quite knowledgeable, and so so helpful. I recommend this class without reservation.
-
-
The trainer is very knowledgeable and great at explaining concepts. She also simplified the concepts, so that they are easy to understand. Highly recommend this course!
-
This class provided the information in a format that was easy to understand and apply.
-
Mike was great! I love how he provided a recap after each topic to ensure that I understood everything. He also touched on some “real life” information for photographers in addition to the curriculum which I appreciate. I felt comfortable asking whatever questions I had in mind.
-
Perfect teaching and teacher - my insights into digital photography increased tremendously and I am inspired to learn more!
-
Very easy to understand. Came out of the class actually knowing how to use my digital camera that had for a few years now. Thank you!
-
-
Mindy was an excellent teacher,
I learned so much and loved it
-
Mindy was very patient in explaining the basics of photography. Because of that I learned a lot within the short amount of time I spent with her. She’s not just a great teacher but also a great person.
-
Mindy is great, her teaching style is simple to follow and i learned to make adjustments in my camera settings less than 2 hrs , now im shooting manual with confidence , highly recommend her class.Thanks
-
Mindy was friendly and helpful. I learned so much!
-
Mindy Veissid is a wonderful photography instructor. With clear, expansive, user-friendly explanations, she patiently and thoughtfully showed me how to shoot the best possible photos with my Canon DSLR camera. In addition to helping me to easily understand the technical requirements of this advanced camera, she also provided practical assistance so that learning became doing. Really good teacher!
-
-
-
Mindy was truly amazing! I learned so much in the 3-hour beginners class, and left feeling so much more knowledgeable in how to use my camera.
She was extremely detailed in explaining everything, but also keeping in mind that I have no experience with the camera when teaching which is a PLUS! I definitely would recommend this class to someone who is trying to learn the camera for the first time.
Thanks, Mindy!
-
-
The class was absolutely fantastic as the instructor was extremely thorough and use whatever was effective in getting the point through to the participants. It certainly outshine my entire online learning experiences as she was able to answer the little details that comes up during a live class that cannot be addressed immediately in an online situation and thus at times is never addressed. She illuminated for me many of the subtle nuances that I have grappled with for sometime with respect to working in manual mode and I was completely blown away with my ability after a single session that it all came together with me being able to capture images in manual mode. Big up to the instructor on a successful mission. So, to all the newbies are oldies out there who like myself have been stuck in automatic mode and still not getting the desired results, I would highly recommend this instructor to rekindle or begin your journey in overcoming the hurdle to transmission to MANUAL and discover the self-empowering ecstasy that awaits.
-
I had taken two photography classes in high school, but I wanted to brush up on the basics before my honeymoon - a safari in Africa. My wife needed the full intro. This classes helped us both enormously. Mindy was careful to go through everything such that it was clear to a beginner, but I didn't feel that my time was being wasted at all. I was surprised at how much was packed into the three hours given how deeply we went into each topic. I definitely well prepared for the trip.
-
Very informative class with a great teacher . She adjusted to our individual needs and answered all questions. Highly recommendable . Thank you !
-
The class was great! We covered a lot of ground but without feeling overwhelmed! Things were broken down in an easy to understand manner. Now I just need to take what I learned and practice !
-
Great class for beginners! Mindy was kind, patient, encouraging and explained the basics in a way that was easy to understand.
-
Very good overview on the use of the camera. I received alot of information in a relatively short time. Truly outstanding value for the money.
-
Loved the class! Very interesting and Mindy made it easy to learn. Her exercises really helped me understand how to work the camera better and made me want to start taking photos right after.
-
Mindy was great and super insightful. She explained the camera functions through analogies to better understand the techniques. Will def be signing up for other courses with her and the team.
-
Very well presented and understandable. During the three hours I learned so much. Definitely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in photography.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Mindy is a great teacher. This class gave me more confidence in night photography.
-
Mindy is great learned so much from her, very useful class. Definitely recommend to all future photographers to take this introductory course.
-
-
Mindy started the class on time. Her method of teaching is exactly as she describes it- intuitive. Within minutes, the class was able to capture night time shots that we would have never been able to take without Mindy's guidance. She quickly dismisses the idea of needing a tripod for night time photography. I even got to learn how to take beautiful photo art/photo writing pictures.
Highly recommended class.
Thank You Mindy!

-
Mindy was great!
-
It was an excellent class
-
-
Class was great for beginners wanting to learn how to use all features of their camera. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn some practical ways to use their camera to take better photos.
-
-
This was such a wonderful introduction to the basics of photography. I had never taken a photography class before, but this class was broken down in such a way that I felt much more confident with my new camera after only 3 hours. I am looking forward to applying what I've learned and hopefully coming back for another class in the future!
-
-
-
Class was a great crash course in camera basics, taught in very simple terms. Definitely a must for beginners like me.
-
-
I loved it. Mindy is a great teacher and explains everything in a way that is so easy to understand. I am definitely taking more of her classes.
-
-
Exactly what I wanted- Foundational instruction on digital photography.
-
Mindy was an excellent teacher, thoughtful, provocative and clearly understood what it was people wanted to learn.
-
-
This was such a fantastic class. I was blown away. Mindy is a fantastic teacher. She breaks down the material so you can immediately put this information into practice. I would absolutely recommend this class.
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
Mindy is so amazing. She is very enthusiastic to teach, very detailing and she gave everyone full attention.
She really makes the interrelationship between ISO, Aperture, and F-stop easier to understand.
I would definitely recommend this class to all the beginner and intermediate level photographers
-
-
-
Great class for beginners, absolutely recommed it! Mindy is awesome.
-
-
Class given by mindy was great, easy to understand and gave us each personalized attention.
-
Super class!
Went way beyond my expectations and I can hardly wait to implement what I learned.
I will definitely sign up for more classes with Mindy.
She’s awesome!
-
Mindy was truly fantastic! During the first part of class she helped break down basic elements in layman terms and also provided a packet of definitions and examples which was great for an absolute beginner. She also looked at each of our camera's individually and worked with us to help understand their specific functions and capabilities.
I recommend this class to anyone who is a true beginner and needs a place to start.
-
Great introduction to photography and to mastering the complexities of advanced cameras and manual mode. Definitely more for me to still discover, but I'm glad I was given this introduction!
-
Absolutely loved the class! Mindy is amazing at breaking down photography in a way that’s easy to understand and can be put to use without getting to analyticle. For the intuitive artist brain her style is everything. So many breakthrough moments I’m putting to use already.
-
Mindy was great! I learned a lot. Great investment of time!
-
-
Mindy was a perfect instructor for the class,learned a lot from that three hours class.will recommend to friends.
-
-
Great combination of hands on practice and instruction. It accommodated different types of learning perfectly. I have a greater understanding of my camera’s functions and feel more confident in my skills
-
-
-
-
Excellent class. Mindy was awesome!
-
Mindy was a very good teacher. She spent enough time on the important points and I definitely achieved my goals for this class. bravo!
-
-
-
I really enjoyed this class. Mindy broke it all down into understandable components. I took this class because I had experience shooting film on an SLR "back in the day," but really didn't get how to apply what I knew to digital photography. Each time I would try to get off of the "auto" mode I had very mixed results. She explained in simple terms about how to manipulate ISO (what I knew as ASA and later ISO or film sensitivity), aperture (f-stops) and shutter speed on my digital SLR to get great pictures. She helped to connect those very rusty dots. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to take advantage of the full capabilities of SLR digital cameras. Mindy will help you. I promise!
-
It was a wonderful evening - Mindy was patient, available and present for each person in the class. She kept it moving, and had honored each of our quirks and thoughts with grace and kindness
-
-
Great introduction for beginners by Mindie.
So much informations to explain to beginners are not easy.
But she’s doing great work with pationate lecture.
Ground floor of IBM space was very cold and some strange looking people were sitting near our very small aluminum table.
Bathroom are not easy to find,
Trump tower downstairs, must go through tight security or huge Nike store 4th floor.
Class was good Mindie was good but class location was wired.
-
I really enjoyed and learned a lot. I had no idea about photography and how to use my new camera. And now I have to practice what I learned in class. Mindy was very nice and helpful! She is very Good! I recommend her to everyone who wants to learn about photography and how to take a good pictures. I pretend to register for more classes.
-
Great course and very helpful as an intro into photography.
-
I cannot say enough good things about this class - it exceeded by expectations in every way. Mindy is an amazingly knowledgeable & personal instructor who breaks things down in a "real life" way to help students learn the fundamentals about photography without overwhelming you with technical information. I now have such a better understanding of my DSLR camera's functionality and can't wait to explore & practice more! The small class size combined with a casual setting provided the ideal environment to allow me to feel comfortable asking questions and get the most out of the 3 hours. I am already thinking about the next class I can take with her. Thank you, Mindy!!
-
-
Mindy is a fantastic teacher, highly recommend!
-
The instructor, Mindy, covered a lot of ground without being overwhelming. A perfect entree into the world of digital photography.
-
-
Mindy is an amazing teacher! She is very thorough and takes her time to teach you the best way to learn about ISO, aperture and shutter speed. I was clueless when I first got to the class, but afterwards I felt so confident! The handouts she gives are also very helpful. Overall, I loved the class and am planning on attending digital photography part 2!
-
Mindy was awesome. She had a great energy and everyone in the class was very engaged in the topics she was covering. I am very interested in taking another class with Mindy!
-
Very much enjoyed the class. Got more out of it than I expected. Mindy was excellent.
-
Great insight and information
-
-
-
-
Mindy was a fantastic teacher who was very engaging and patient with all the students. She taught us all about the three most important elements- ISO, aperture and shuttter speed! I finally feel like I understand how to use Manual mode on my camera. She even followed up with homework so we could practice at home. I can't wait to use my DSLR on my trip to Vermont this weekend. The only thing I wish I could change was that I took this class sooner.
-
Mindy was very knowledgeable and really helped me understand how to shoot at night, without a tripod! Highly recommend.
-
-
I loved this class! Mindy is such an awesome teacher. I've really never approached photography like she teaches and it's such an inspiring learning experience. I would recommend this course to everyone!
-
Teacher was outstanding - So glad I took the course - Found it to be very beneficial
-
Mindy is an incredible teacher. In just 3 hours, I left feeling completely confident that I understood how a camera works, and will never have to use Auto again. Sure enough, 8 days later, I am still able to pick up the camera and remember how to adjust each setting and which settings impact which parts of the photography process. I can't wait to take another one of Mindy's classes!!
-
Terrific class. Moving forward, I know I will be more mindful of how I take a shot. Mindy is a great teacher, and I know there will definitely be an improvement in my photos. Am eagerly awaiting my next class with her ....
-
I really enjoyed the class and the teaching style.
-
-
-
I had a great experience in this class. Mindy was both extremely professional and personable. I will not hesitate to take other classes from Art of Intuitive Photography.
-
-
Great teacher it is a very easy and happy time that makes it avery sucseful way to get in to photograpy.
-
Mindy was amazing! I will 100 percent be recommending this class I learned a ton and I retained the information
-
This course is excellent for beginners and for people who have very limited knowledge of photography . I've had my DSLR for more than a few years sitting on the
shelf. I've been wanting to learn professionally with a teacher. I would always procrastinate and in the meantime I would attempt to take photos with my DSLR
and get so frustrated as I had very limited knowledge of the camera and don't get to capture the photos the right way. I would then use my IPhone to simplify things. I decided to take this beginners class with Mindy and I am so happy that I was able to learn the basics of photography from her . She is an excellent teacher. She makes everything very simple for you to learn. By the end of the class you will surely have the confidence, basic knowledge and tools to take wonderful photos. If you are a beginner or just interested on photography I highly recommend Mindy. You will not get disappointed.
-
-
Mindy was absolutely fantastic. I'm a self taught photographer, and was feeling frustrated with my new camera. In 3 hours, everything clicked and I felt like I knew my camera inside-out. Great class for all levels!
-
I was in need of a serious photography 101 after getting a new DSLR camera last Christmas. This class was worth every penny and was exactly what I was looking for. Just in the short photo exercises we did in the class I noticed an instant improvement of the photos I was taking. I'm looking forward to taking more classes in the future!
-
-
Instructor and class was fabulous.
-
-
Learned so much - great for a beginner
-
It was a great refresher course and I imagine quite valuable to absolute beginners.
-
-
-
This was a great class that made me feel much more comfortable about using my camera manually.
-
Mindy was a fantastic teacher. I loved the non-traditional setting of the class so we could jump right in and start testing out what we were learning. I'm already putting my new skills to work and cannot wait to learn more. I will definitely be back. Thank you!
-
-
this is such an easy, smooth, and joyfull course, Mindy is an i spiring person and smart she made it very intersting and easy
-
Mindy's instruction was patient, nontechnical, and comprehensive without overwhelming. The 3-hour course goes over ISO, aperture, shutter settings, as well as white balance. She graciously answered basic questions beyond what was covered and the hands-on exercises were deliberately structured into the course to build on and test what we learned.
There were only two of us, so it was sort of a semi-private instruction! The story of her trajectory to photography resonated with me and was a fitting preamble to the class. She made us feel connected and grounded. I very much appreciated her belief that in order to get to intuition, one needs to master the fundamentals -- belief influenced by her own background, style, and approach to photography.
I am glad that I chose to do an in-person photography class over an online self-paced lesson. I can now say I am a proud user of a DSLR - more knowledgeable of the instrument, more confident in its use (no auto!), and more aware (and appreciative!) of my surroundings.
-
-
Mindy, the instructor was incredible and an expert at all types of cameras. She made you feel comfortable, while giving you tons of information that is not too overwhelming.
-
-
Mindy is an amazing teacher, you will learn very useful tips and tricks
-
I am so glad I took the photogaphy clas for beginers. The class was informative and hands on. It definitely helped me to understand my camera and eventually take better pictures. Mindy is organized, knowledgeble and friendly.
-
First of all, Mindy is an incredible artist and teacher. In the 3 hours I sat with her and the 3 other students, I can say I learned more about photography than I'd ever imagined. I once quit a media course during my college days because I felt I could not grasp photography through technical mathematical terms. It turns out that Mindy was not a fan of technical terms either. She was patient and answered all of our questions. She took us through all of the basic functions of our cameras and got us out into the field to practice what we'd learned about light and dark, within our cameras/lenses. I am so glad I took her course. She made me much more comfortable and confident with my camera and I'm looking forward to take a few more courses with her in the near future. I'd highly recommend a course with Mindy.

This is a GREAT beginner class! It connected a lot of the dots for me and gave me a better understanding of photography. I even learned the use of certain buttons on my camera that I had no clue what they were for. It was amazing to see the light bulbs go off amongst the students in our group. Mindy is a great instructor! She goes over the 3 basic ingredients for a great photo and explains it in as simple terms as possible. She also gives time to practice for hands-on experience.
-
Great class, wish I took it years ago when I first got my SLR camera. In only three hours I learned how to shoot in manual and how shutter speed, iso, and aperture work together. Still need lots of practice but at least now I know how to set the settings.
-
Class was amazing! Mindy is a great teacher and such an inspiration.
I highly recommend this class.

-
Exilent class, great teacher, and i will be taking other classes.
-
I really enjoyed Mindy's class, she has a great way of sharing her knowledge of Photography along with a step by step approach to the basics. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who is interested in learning the key features of their camera and an understanding of the Art of photography.
-
-
Very informative for a 3 he class, I really enjoyed it!
-
Mindy is a wonderful instructor. I highly recommend her class.
-
We had so much fun on this walk-about! We saw so much, and Mindy is just so fantastic to learn from. it is nice to learn from one of the best!
-
-
-
I'm kind of amazed at how much was packed into the 3-hours and how well Mindy was able to simplify what has always seemed really complicated to me. I was totally clueless about manual mode going into this class but can now confidently say I understand the basics.
-
This is a good start point if you never had a DSLR camera. The class starts at the beginning -- ISO, F#, and shutter speed. Mindy is extremely patient and you feel her passion for photography.
-
Loved it
-
Fun and very informative class.
-
This class made me fully understand what is written in the manual that made me fully utilize the features in my camera. I now enjoy being creative in the photos I take.
-
Great class. Mindy's more intuitive way of teaching is exactly what I needed. I had learned about cameras before (in the pre-digital age) but forgot everything as it was too dry and technical for my learning style. I think I'm finally going to retain what I learned about ISO, aperture and shutter speed this time and not go back to shooting auto mode ever again (which is her goal for the students). I recommend her class highly if you're more of an intuitive learner (rather than by-the-books and technical) and plan to take more classes w/ her soon.
-
-
It was a very refreshing approach to follow only your creativity and get rid of technical concerns when taking pictures. I got some nice shots at the museum, but more importantly, I feel that I have gained a new tool during the attention-exercise that I can use whenever I am out to take authentic, meaningful pictures.
-
-
Mindy was great. Learned a lot in the three hours of class.
-
Mindy was a fantastic teacher! I learned so much in 3 hours - I don't plan on ever going back to an "auto" setting on my camera! The location of the class was also perfect.
*** Please only use my first name in the review. Thks.

I decided to take this class after owning my camera for over a year and never making the time to truly learn about the camera. I bought books, dvds, etc to try to learn about my camera but they have just gathered dust. I found this class online and was very optimistic. I liked that the class sizes were small so I wouldn't be intimated and I was looking for a class where I could have hands on learning.. Mindy was fantastic. She is very passionate about photography and it really shows. Mindy teaches her students like how she would have liked to be taught. She really takes her time with everyone. I have learned so much from this course. I find myself always using manual mode on my camera and am not intimated.
I came home raving about Art of Intuitive Photography to all my family and friends.
I would definitely recommend this course to any with an interest in learning about their digital camera. I am looking forward to taking more Art of Intuitive Photography classes
-
-
Mindy was fantastic, and after 3 hours I learnt how to take a range of types of photos and to operate completely in manual mode in my new camera. A great way to get started with photography
-
I finally managed to attend the ""manual mode at night class"" yesterday and it certainly was worth the wait! Mindy is an amazing teacher. She is very patient with her students but also I love the fact that we get just enough of the essential theory and then dive in the practice. She really showed us the magic tricks to be able to take amazing pictures without flash or tripod at night, but also opened our eyes to things that would photograph very well. I really look forward to practicing this more. I am also certain that I will take another class as I jut love her teaching style.
In a nutshell, I really recommend this class!
-
LOOOOOVED MY TEACHER, MINDY. SO HANDS ON. WILL DEFINITELY BE TAKING ALL MY CLASSES WITH HER. SHE IS THE REAL MCCOY OF PHOTOGRAPHY. I HIGHLY RECOMEND HER CLASSES.
-
Mindy is so passionate with her work and her way to see the photography that is impossible not to have a great experiencie. Really enjoyed and learn.
wish to stay more to learn and experience more with her!
-
-
Mindy did an excellent job breaking down the basics in the class. I had owned a DSLR for over 10 years, but never really learned the aspects that would allow me to be more creative in my photography. Mindy was able to do so very efficiently in our 3 hours together, and I now feel very comfortable shooting in full manual mode. Thanks, Mindy!
-
-
A wonderful introductory class! Mindy was able to cover all the essentials well. I had fun and would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is afraid to start using their camera :)
-
The teacher was fantastic . She totally narrowed the complexity of my camera down to terms I could understand and can use going forward.
-
Mindy was fantastic, and after 3 hours I learnt how to take a range of types of photos and to operate completely in manual mode in my new camera. A great way to get started with photography
-
-
The instructor, Michelle, was extremely friendly and clear. She was full of enthusiasm while teaching the class and even spent a little time afterwards looking at some previous photos of mine. She was encouraging and informative, not to mention attentive to all students. The on site practice helped clarify all the points she was making. I highly recommend this class especially if it is being taught by Michelle.
-
-
Mindy was Great! Made it really easy and enjoyable.
-
Loved that the class was small and informal. Mindy provided great information and helpful hints to understand how to get started with a camera. She's not condescending at all and very patient. She's already realistic in the amount of information she provides during the beginner course, because there is no way to cover every single aspect of your digital camera when you have 0 background or experience. She makes you do practical exercises too, which help show how using different settings will change your photos. I would highly recommend. I would love to take her night time course, but I need to find a day I could make it with my work schedule.
-
-
-
Mindy's class was really amazing! Aside from Mindy's friendly and warm personality, she is a true artist and teacher. She has a very unique way of breaking down and explaining the information in a way that is uncomplicated and easy to recall, even as you sit back relaxed taking it all in. In a short while, how you see your camera and what it can do changes, and the door of possibilities is wide open. No more flat dull landscape pictures for me, that's for sure. I'll be sure taking more of Mindy's classes for inspiration. Thanks Mindy!
-
I really enjoyed. Mindy has a very nice way of teaching.
Not "too technical" explanations. Really helped me understand my camera.
Very good and inspiring teacher!!!
-
Fantastic!
-
-
-
Mindy is the best photography teacher! She makes it super easy to understand how the camera works and makes taking pictures more of a pleasure. After signing up for there introduction class, I already signed up for her photography II class. The classes are small and intimate, so Mindy gives everyone personal attention and it's easy to ask questions. I would recommend this class to everyone.
-
The class was great and Mindy was an extremely knowledgeable, personable, and patient instructor. I learned so much in just 3 hours and am excited about practicing my photography!
-
-
The class and teacher were very educational
-
Great class in a very relaxed setting. Mindy was awesome at explaining all the facets of photography/camera without getting technical, which really put me at ease. The exercises were helpful as well. Would definitely recommend to a friend!
-
-
-
-
I bought a new camera not knowing how to use any mode other than Auto mode. Mindy is an amazing and engaging teacher who made learning really fun. She gave each student individual attention and even gave us all a very informative handout that's easy to understand. I left the class excited and unafraid to practice on manual mode. I'm really looking forward to attending more of her classes in the weeks to come.
-
There is a lot to learn and Mindy has figured out how to teach to beginner laymen in an effective manner. When I get s new camera I want to take it again.
-
Great intro - the focus is on understanding the basics of ISO, aperture and shutter speed so that you can manipulate your own camera confidently by the end. Mindy was a good teacher and excellent at allowing us to learn through listening as well as by doing.
-
I signed up for the class as a way to kick off the New Year. Our instructor was Mindy and she is a fantastic teacher. She is not only knowledgeable, but she is patient and her enthusiasm for photography is contagious. The small class size allows for the individual attention you need to learn about the technical aspects. However, we were taught in a way that was easy to understand and that we can relate to. I highly suggest taking this course to learn how to use the manual function on your camera and to start taking some visually interesting pictures.
-
Mindy started the class by saying one of her goals was that we would never use the automatic mode on our cameras again - and she succeeded! Her demonstrations of how f stop, ISO and shutter speed influence photographs followed by opportunities for us to try out new techniques immediately really helped us learn what she was teaching us, and have really helped improve my photography.
-
Fun and informative. I will never go back to the "auto" mode on my camera again. Thank you!
-
Great Class! Mindy Veissid was very knowledgable and patient. I left the class very excited to take as many pictures as possible. Thank you Mindy!
-
Instructor is great and she was able to clear up lots of questions for me and others.
-
-
Mindy was very knowledgeable and a very patient teacher
-
-
-
Was a great class! Mindy has a great teaching style and helps each student individually with their cameras and with their specific questions. Would definitely recommend this class if you are looking to learn the basics of photography.
-
-
Mindy was an amazing instructor. I really learned a lot from this 3 hour course and have a much better understanding of how to use my camera and photography in general. I look forward to taking more classes/seminars with her. Sign up for this course, you will not regret it!
-
-
-
-
Mindy was helpful and informative throughout the entire workshop! In just those three hours I learned how to use my camera and I have been practicing ever since. Trust me, you won't regret taking her class; she is extremely helpful and insightful.

Mindy was an excellent instructor: patient, talented, kind and very focused. I loved the individual attention she gave us and she was really inspiring! My classmates and I got very close and we have been in touch in group emails with Mindy. Highly recommend her and the Intuitive Photography program.

Good for real beginners. Mindy made things easy to understand. Good foundation to give you some confidence to work in manual

Came into the class not knowing anything about photography and little to no idea how to use my DSLR. Mindy (the instructor) was very helpful in going over the fundamentals of taking photos and had exercises to put the lesson to use! Awesome class and using my DSLR like crazy ever since.

Loved learning SO much about what goes into taking a proper photo in Manual Mode - loved our teacher and her patience!

Great class. I finally learned how to use my camera beyond automatic mode!
-
-
I truly loved this class. Mindy (the instructor) was very clear, and explained things in a way that the concept was easy to grasp. I enjoyed the class being held in an atrium, very informal. I also enjoyed that there was only 5 people that came to the class, more time for individual questions about people's camera.
I would definitely recommend taking this class if you own a digital camera and you're always using "Auto" mode and don't know how to set the camera up to use "Manual" mode.

This course was a simple and easy to understand lesson in photography. I left feeling that I had the information and knowledge to take control of my photography and enough to build on in the future.

Mindy was amazing. I left Saturday's class feeling excited/happy/thrilled that I finally know how to use my camera! I left and spent about 30 minutes taking photos down in the subway, and then continued throughout the day around my neighborhood. Mindy was so patient, kind and was a wonderful teacher. She made me even more exited about photography. I highly recommend this class to everyone!
-
Left the class comfortable enough to shoot in manual mode. Mindy was great and very detailed. Perfect class for a beginner.

Wonderful course! Signing up for more!
-
Truth of the matter I loved your class. The mix of information, hands on approach and your personal care of each of us made it an enriching experience.

Mindy was a fantastic teacher and I'm so glad I signed up for this course!

What an uncredible & fun beginner photograply class Mindy is so kind and very comfotable to be around with. Wow! I had no idea my camera can do all that, lol! Mindy fave me many tips, after class I went to a flamenco class and took some photos in Manuel mode for the first time...BAM, what a huge difference from Auto mode! Woo Hoo!!! Thanks so much Mindy!!!

Informative and interesting. I now know how to use my camera. Very pleased with my experience.

Absolutely fantastic class, well worth the money!! I learnt everything I was hoping to about the basics of photography. Highly recommend this class!!
-
Mindy was an amazing, smart and talented teacher. Learned so much in just three hours! Definitely a must for any new beginner in digital photography.
-
Mindy did a really great job of going over the basic information needed to take really great photos in manual mode, we also did a few exercises to practice ISO, etc. Never going back to automatic mode again. Definitely going to take another course with her.
-
Great course for beginners, lots to learn in a short space of time but Mindy was great at explaining the basics- very friendly and approachable. Would definitely recommend.
-
Mindy was amazing in her approach and method of teaching. My daughter and I loved her and everything about the class. She made it simple. Thank you Mindy!!

The class was informal , good interaction with instructor and classmates. To me, it was very informative and presented simply for a beginner and the hands on practice enables me to remember better what I learned. It was the first time I tried using the manual features of my camera. I really enjoyed the class. Thanl you.

Recommend class to others. Enjoyed the hand on practices and informative and personable instructor. Glad to have taken class.

Mindy was fantastic. She was patient and did a great job of explaining things in terms i could understand. The format was great. I would learn a new technique and then immediately got to try it out with some good feedback.
-
Excellent intro class for photography. Superb teacher!
-
-
-
This class was awesome! Learned new outlook on taking intuitive photography through a series of mini assignment/ projects then a review of pics. Also learned how to crop images well to focus on subject and thus changing the interpretation of the image. Mindy Vessid is the BEST!!! I would do this class again.
-
It was not bad but It was not what I had expected. The very first time I went on line It showed certain pictures and had said what we would be shooting I must have clicked on the wrong site. I was never there so I had no idea where to start shooting. I did think the teacher was good though.

I wish I would've took this class so long ago. So worth the money! Class size is small so not only do you learn about the elements of photography, but Mindy teaches you how to do everything on your own specific camera. I wasn't expecting the one on one instruction so I can't say enough about the class. And now I'm excited to take the night photography class!

What made this class a five star was the instructor. Mindy was awesome! Her creative approach is super helpful especially for beginners. I would be interested in taking another class.

Thank you Mindy for a great class. Informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend!

This class was wonderful - It was a small, friendly group... and in just a few hours I gained an understanding of my camera - something i'd been struggling with for years since I first got the camera. Now i can finally use it! And finally get pictures the way i want them to come out!!

Good teacher, nice place, small group, easy to follow and to understand. Very good for beginners.
-
Fantastic instructor! Her teaching style was clear and well targeted for participants' prior knowledge and experience. The location is not great for the winter.
-
Course was very good, instructor was knowledgeable and patient.
The physical conditions were unacceptable. Our class was held in a barely-heated atrium on a day where the wind chill was below zero. All student, including the instructor, wore hat, scarf and coat for the entire session. Very unacceptable

It was a great class for beginners. All the basics are covered in a short 3 hour window.
It has been a long time I paid attention for the entire three hours. This one is one of them.
Definitely worth it.
-
I've loved taking pictures all my life but I always pretty much stuck with automatic settings. Wouldn't have believed after 3 hours with Mindy I'm shooting entirely on manual settings. She works with all digital cameras from compact to super-expesive SLRs and lens. Wonderful experience!
-
-
I would definitely recommend this class. Mindy is a true professional and her excitement about photography is evident in the way she teaches. She breaks everything down so it's simplified and understandable, but not simplistic.
-
Before this class, I didn't know much about how to work my camera on the manual setting.
This class was perfect for learning and practicing the basics of photography and how to use my actual camera in a non formal format. Milly was a great instructor and hands on throughout the whole time.
I would recommend to any beginner trying to understand the basics of their camera.
-
Loved this class and Mindy was great. I really loved her approach to teaching as well as her approach to photography. This was a very informative class and I now do not feel intimidated by my DSLR and I feel confident that I can capture any moment confidently in manual mode in any environment and under any conditions. Highly recommend this course if you are a true beginner or a beginner/intermediate level photographer needing a refresher.
-
Great introduction to DSLR cameras and an easy and intuitive techniques to shooting photos. Enjoyed it!

Mindy was a fantastic teacher. Very patient and explained things clearly in technical and non technical ways so that everyone could understand. I highly recommend this class to beginners that have always wondered what their camera is actually capable of.
-
Mindy is a fabulous photography teacher. Instead of teaching the "right" way to take photos, she instead teaches you how to use your camera and how to harness the creativity inside of you to get the photos you really want. I can't believe I hesitated signing up for this class. I definitely didn't wait to sign up for the second one!

I had a really good time, it was better than expected. Mindy was a great teacher.
-
i had a wonderful experience in this class, Mindy is a great teacher. Not only did i have fun but i learned a lot from her, and she was very kind to give us feedback at the end of our exercises.
She made me fall in love with photography once more.
-
This class was amazing! It taught me the fundamentals of a camera and how to use my investment - my digital SLR! Mindy is an excellent teacher and her teaching style is superb! She gave us the practical knowledge we needed to take great pictures!
-
I really liked this class. It was very casual and interesting. I now know how to use my camera and can't wait to take the next level class about entry level photography. The teacher was very nice, inspiring and helpful. She clearly had very good knowledge of the topic and she made it easy to learn through theory and practice.
-
If you are a beginner or want to brush up your skills, I would highly recommend this class. I like the way this course takes you into the technical concepts of how to start learning about your camera controls and what they do to your photograph. For me I got a direction and definitely helped me to plan my next step in the world of photography.
Thanks again Mindy!!
-
Mindy is fantastic! I walked in intimidated by manual settings, and walked out feeling comfortable and ready to practice my new skills. She took the time to show everyone how to work their individual cameras and explained everything in an easy-to-understand way. Excellent class!
-
This class got rescheduled from the previous week (With the students' previous OK).
Very interesting different approach to Photography lessons. Dedicated, comitted and friendly teacher. Recommended!
-
Mindy's approach to teaching made this class fun and entertaining. It was the first photo class I've taken where I walked away with practical knowledge on how to use my camera. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a better understanding of how their camera works and any introduction to making great pictures.
-
If you're lost with your new DLSR camera, this is exactly what you need. Lesson is taught in an intuitive and casual way which helps the info sink in and walk out using the Manual Mode of your camera.
