My teenage son was thrilled to join a week-long workshop this summer, and it exceeded all his…read moreexpectations. Although he felt a bit nervous at first, he quickly settled in and felt right at home. His instructor, Brianna Lopez, was kind, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. My son shared that he learned a lot and felt very comfortable asking questions. Each day was a little adventure--they explored downtown and even visited Griffith Park. I was personally impressed by how quickly he acclimated. He looked forward to attending class every day and was consistently mindful of his assignments. We're so glad we discovered LACP--a true gem in the heart of DTLA. We'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future programs!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this photo restoration studio. I first came here to…read morerestore some foundational family photos for my mom's 80th birthday, and the results were beyond anything I could have hoped for. The images that are part of our family's legacy were brought back to life with such care and beauty. I loved the work so much that I came back again to have a childhood photo restored for 11 of my aunts and uncles as a birthday gift. What he does is truly artistry. He takes his time, pours his heart and soul into every image, and you can feel how much he genuinely cares about the stories behind the photos. In a world where so much is done quickly with AI, he is one of the rare artists still doing this work with incredible skill, patience, and heart. There is something almost spiritual about walking into this place and trusting someone with your most precious family memories. This will be the only place I trust with our valuable family photos. Truly exceptional work.

So I have had my camera on auto-mode for way too long. However, I have done significant youtube…read morevideo viewing of how to get out of that plus have friends that are photographers and have always wanted to be at least an OK picture taker. I decided to look up a Groupon and then was directed to this group. Upon arriving there was a small room with chairs facing the front of the class and our class teacher Stephen. The location was actually pretty easy to find after receiving an email from someone letting us know the day before the location had changed. The class I will say was informative and definitely what someone with no experience should look into. For me personally this was very basic of stuff I am already aware of but found it helpful either way being I had an instructor right in front to ask questions. Plus, it was great to get a reminder of and different point of view from other people. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone that wants to "up" their camera game!

I recently attended NPPE's second expedition this year into the Mojave National Preserve and was…read moreabsolutely thrilled with the entire trip! Our guide and instructor took our small group into places I never would have imagined inside the Preserve. While I was expecting to have a little bit of our time focused on the educational aspects of post-production, it turned out that we were split our time about 50-50 between editing and going out into the field and taking photos which was perfect for me. The small class size provided ample one-on-one mentoring with a certified instructor who was able to teach us many of the best-practices on image handling and post processing. Not only did I come back with some great images to send to the print shop and share with my family and friends on social media, but I returned with new editing skills and a fresh workflow combining LightRoom with Photoshop. Simply put it was an amazing trip, I learned more in 5 days than I had in the last year of taking classes and weekend workshops. The whole experience was customized to the needs of the group, starting with the phone calls before the trip to discuss what I wanted to accomplish, through adjusting the schedule while we were in the Preserve, and the follow-up calls afterwords. Small group size, 1 on 1 mentoring, trip tailored to the individual needs and desires of our group, instructor knew the area extremely well including knowing what time of day to be where to capture the right light on the scenes. Still riding the photo high from a trip that ended a month ago. Can't wait to attend my next expedition, probably one of the Utah trips whether it's Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, or Grand Staircase-Escalante. And I'm definitely going back to the Mojave National Preserve.

I'll be looking forward to shooting more with him in the future!

I booked Ming for six hours of private coaching in real estate photography, and it exceeded…read moreexpectations. He brings serious depth, not just in photography and video, but in the business side of real estate media, which is rare. We covered everything from editing workflows (Photoshop and beyond) to camera settings, composition, sun positioning, and how to approach site visits strategically. The highlight was a hands-on shoot at the Getty Center, where everything clicked in real time. It was practical, applicable knowledge I can immediately use. On top of that, Ming is a genuinely fun and engaging person to work with, which made the entire experience even better. If you're looking to level up quickly and actually understand what you're doing, Ming is the real deal. I'll absolutely be booking more sessions. Thank you so much, Ming!

Booked a private lesson for my photo-curious daughter with Jamie, and she was fantastic. Like most…read moreteens today, my daughter has only really used her iPhone to take photos, but got very interested in real cameras after a fashion internship. Jamie arrived with her Canon DSLR and a full complement of lenses, and proceeded to show my daughter the difference between the lenses, what you achieve by using them, and how to operate a real camera that has a world of settings and possibilities. Jamie was friendly, gregarious, open and welcoming, and she held my daughter's attention for the full 2 hours of the lesson. Her website says she also holds group lessons, and I have to imagine those would be great as well. I didn't use Jamie's services as a photographer, so I can't really speak to her work as such, but based on our experience with her, Jamie will be my first call when I do need a photographer -- I have to imagine she handles a crowd well, and maneuvers adeptly through an event... hearing what she said to my daughter about what to shoot, when and how, I trust her instincts and I'm certain her work will be superior.
