Professional Photography Lessons in North Ridgeville, Cleveland, and Northeast Ohio

I offer private photography lessons and professional photography tutoring for students and photo enthusiasts in North Ridgeville, Cleveland, and throughout Northeast Ohio. With over 40 years of experience as a professional photographer, I provide expert instruction to help beginners and advanced photographers dramatically improve their skills.

As a full-time professional photographer since 1980, and one of the first in Northeast Ohio to transition fully to digital photography in 2000, I bring real-world experience and proven teaching methods to every lesson. I am also the creator and instructor of Digital Photography 101, a course that has helped students of all ages gain confidence and achieve professional-quality results.

My private photography classes are customized to your skill level and goals. Whether you are using a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or even a smartphone, I can help you master both the technical and creative aspects of photography.

Photography tutoring topics include:

  • Camera settings, exposure, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO

  • Composition and creative photography techniques

  • Basic photo editing lessons using Photoshop

  • Digital photography workflow and file management

  • Photography for social media, business branding, and websites

I also help small business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals in the Cleveland area use photography to improve their marketing, branding, and social media presence on platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

My photography lessons are patient, easy to understand, and designed to help you see immediate improvement. Lessons are available in North Ridgeville, Cleveland, and surrounding Northeast Ohio communities, as well as online sessions.

Excellent Tutor

Mark was very knowledgeable about Photoshop and I highly recommend him. He is a great teacher and made learning easy. He was patient, eager to help me, and very reliable. He was easy to reach and always got back to me quickly. I will definitely go back to him again.

Knowledgeable

Mark was very detailed and explained everything I asked. Highly recommend. Took his time and did not rush. Has a wide range of skills. Excellent for a small business just starting out that needs help with social media.

Great tutor

Mark's teaching style was just what I needed as a photo shop newbie. He presented information clearly and was able to follow my flight of ideas and endless random questions very patiently. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn photoshop.
