What students are saying about Photo 1
S Thomas
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience…I came into these classes with zero technical ability. Everything was taught in a manner that was engaging and easy to both follow and grasp. I learned a ton of new skills and I’m armed with valuable knowledge to take photos with my DSLR out of auto mode. If you’re hesitant and on the fence go ahead and make that investment, you won’t be disappointed as these classes are definitely of value. Thanks to the staff of ASoP for making this an awesome experience!”

“Who knew that in a month span I could truly get off of AUTO mode through simply learning the photography lighting triangle of ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. The world is now my oyster. I love what you all are doing at ASoP. Thank you!
