She let me take my time capturing the photos I wanted, and gave me great tips on different angles and points of view. I really enjoyed spending the day with her and getting to know her. It was such a wonderful adventure -- hands down one of the best ways I could've spent my last day in Asheville. This tour is great for beginners, iPhone photographers, and intermediate or professional photographers alike. Highly recommend if you want a photography experience that's personal, educational, and just plain fun, and also a great way to explore nature in and around Asheville.

I didn't realize how good I had already gotten with my photography, so they weren't able to teach me a lot that I didn't already know, but they were able to give me a lot of tips that really helped further improve my skills, and I'm grateful for that. If you're wanting to improve your photography, or just want to see some great locations to photograph, Asheville Photo Tours is a great way to go.

We've done a few of these before and really enjoyed them, always ending up with something useful and unique to us, like bowls, vases etc r this time was supposed to be bird house, but we went rogue and made console holders instead. The "Taste of art" classes are offered in many subjects, pottery, wood working glass, print making etc...no experience is needed, it's truly geared towards beginners to see if it's something you'd like pursue further with other classes. Pricing is reasonable, staff has always been friendly, open to helping and supplies are typically always provided. We've done this as a date night to break routine several times and no doubt will do it again. Get your creative juices flowing and go try something new!

The cost is $160 but they do have scholarships available. I was blessed to be awarded one and only had to pay about $60 for the class! This particular class is every Tuesday night for the month of September. There are LOTS of creative classes available in numerous mediums. I'll post a few screenshots to give an idea! They also have classes for youth! There is a parking lot directly across from the building. Just be mindful not to park in any reserved spots. There is also some street parking nearby. The location is visually appealing which I appreciated. The staff members I encountered were very pleasant and helpful as I found my way to the photography studio. The instructor Sydni Bibb is very engaging, helpful and supportive as we all learn what we're doing. I will be relocating soon but if I weren't, I'd be coming here for lots more opportunities to foster my creative side! Incredible place

The appointment process was pretty simple and they send a ample amount of text, email and calls to confirm the appointment as the day approaches. The receptionist was nice when I arrived however she wasn't as informative as I would hope. She did offer me a tour which I agreed to but she just wasn't all the way together with check-in, providing information, knowing who is expected and so forth and so on. Now back to the appointment, my mini shoot was awesome it was very short and sweet which is what I expect for something FREE. The photographer was very sweet and took about 6 shoots before waking be back to the front desk to obtain information about my ordering session. I had my ordering session maybe a week or two later and it was very smooth and this time the receptionist was a little more comfortable so she was able to properly greet us and knew what we were there for and placed us in the room for review and ordering. My pictures came out nice and we looked into joining the studio to take regular family photos as well as having our baby infant shoot done here. It's pretty expensive to say the least so we are weighing our options. I'd have to say if they have a deal come about we may return to join. The studio is clean and new and Beautiful to say the least.
