Through guided hands-on activities, discussions, and walks, you'll train yourself to mentally visualize a scene before capturing the decisive moment.

Why Paris?
Day or night, rain or shine, Paris is a vibrant, diverse city with something for everyone - and we'll dive into it all!
Paris became known as La Ville Lumière (The City of Light) when it installed extensive gas street lighting, which makes it today an exceptionally magnificent photography subject after the sun has set.
Paris so readily lends itself to the photographer, from soaring heights with views dominating the entire city, to esoteric, magical corners highlighting the essence of Parisian architecture and allure.

Reviews
"It was one of the best classes I have attended. She was very patient to teach me and clarify my doubts. She is a excellent teacher and photographer as well."
Prasanna R.
"Rachel is extremely knowledgable. We took her class on composition and the "How to Use your DSLR." The information has dramatically improved the quality of our photos."
Matt M.
"Rachel translates her deep knowledge and experience into practical, easy-to-understand lessons that I can still remember months later. Rachel's class would be excellent for someone who is new to digital photography or looking to take things to the next level."
