I love it when students understand things. When I get someone over that hump and they finally get it, it's like they can fly. I love those moments. I love helping people!
Back in 2006 a couple of us got together, teaching each other photoshop and digital workflow. From that, I started teaching basic photography as a Saturday class. I soon learned that throwing all the technical stuff at students in day was not an effective teaching tool. So, we designed a 6 week course that allows us to look at each of the complex systems that make up a camera, one at a time. Per example, we look at the shutter. What does it do, why should you care, and how can you use it artistically. And then we do a hands-on demo, making sure everyone is on-board before we move on to the aperture.
My name is Walter Schnecker and I have been a professional photographer working full time since 2008. I became a Certified Professional Photographer in 2009, and licensed by the State of New Hampshire's Department of Education as a school for photography in 2014.

Kudos to you if you can learn photography from books or Youtube. The reason that won’t work for most people is that you can’t ask questions and a video doesn’t slow down if you don’t understand something. Plus, there’ll always be blank spots that won’t connect well. And it’s hard to know what you don’t know. All you experience is that things don’t make sense.
Find a teacher that you can work with and that you can learn from. If you want to become a better photographer, your teacher should have more than just knowledge of equipment. Look at the work they’ve done. Is it compelling enough that you think they’ll have something to teach you? If you can, go talk to them and see how they treat questions. Find out if you think you’ll get along with them. We’ve heard plenty of horror stories of photographers trying to teach classes when they don’t understand the subject matter, teachers that feel threatened by questions, teachers that use the classes to push more equipment on students who don’t fully comprehend yet what they just bought, teachers that try to rent equipment rather than show you how to use what you own, teachers that try to push studio rental space or memberships. It is a jungle out there. You have been warned.
Look for testimonials or recommendations. Look who has credentials and a track record.
I cannot stress this point enough, make sure that your teacher is genuine and helpful. If you need a little extra help, he/she needs to be patient with you. Keep in mind that you may get what you pay for.

I think the most important thing about Walter’s Photography the Basics course was that I learned there's more to photography than just pointing a camera and taking a quick snap. More than anything it's about the intent, about what you're trying to accomplish. But then all the intricacies of the ISO and the aperture and so on really play into that, too. Being engaged and in the moment of what you're trying to take a picture of is so important.
