I recently took an online photography class with Luke Stimson and it was an excellent experience! As a beginner learning about my new camera, I was initially feeling overwhelmed. However, Luke’s teaching style made me feel comfortable and confident from the start. He has a very approachable, easy-to-understand way of explaining things, which made it so much easier to grasp the fundamentals. In just one session, I learned so much, and I feel much more equipped to explore my camera’s full potential. I highly recommend Luke to anyone, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills!

Luke helped me learn the basics of photography and photoshop and was a terrific tutor! We had in person lessons and zoom lessons, where he would go over planned out lessons that he created and assign me homework to capture photos of various things that I expressed I wanted to learn. I am now graduated from his lessons and feel comfortable doing everything on my own! I would highly recommend this talented young man if you need a photography tutor!!

Luke was awesome and such a great professional to work with. His knowledge and expertise was incredible and I would definitely recommend his services. I’m on the east coast and he’s on the west and the quality was superb as I was a bit skeptical at first but with technology today it didn’t matter. Fantastic to work with and very accommodating so please give Stimson a try you won’t be disappointed.
