I have always enjoyed photography and studied it in High School. I decided years later to purchase camera and realized I purchased a mini computer. Felt overwhelmed so I left it in my closet for a few months. I met Dan and enjoyed my classes with him and now I have an addiction with my cameras. Two cameras and 6 lenses later I just love the joy and the magic these cameras bring to me. I should have said 3 cameras, after Dan's first set of classes. I traded in that camera I out grew it in a year an a half. read more

This is a must stop during the Art Walks even for non- photographers. Especially when they have the Photography contest because they exhibit work from local photographers that one can vote on. This is the place for non-cheesy photography... leave that to the "in the box" creatives. I've taken Level 1A with my friend for a discount and also Photoshop. Dan is very down to earth & professional. I've asked him some really dumb questions and he never made me feel dumb. I highly recommended him! read more

Thank you Photoshoot Factory for being really great! Not only is Dan a great photographer, but he is an amazing teacher. He is extremely professional during any of the shoots we have worked on. Photoshoot Factory has helped my business with photos for our website, social media, in-store marketing, and has even helped with taking photos from our in-store events and really made the entire process and learning experience a breeze. Their rates are very great and reasonable, given Dan's experience behind the camera. Anytime we work on photos together we always end up with so many options to choose from and he always ask for my input on which photos I liked the best. I've loved working with Dan for my business needs, that I have also referred his classes to friend and family for all their photography need..I'd highly recommend Photoshoot Factory to anyone looking for great photographer classes! read more

I've worked with Dan, the owner of Photoshoot Factory on several different projects, such as various photoshoots for professional social media outlets, photoshoot and website design, and now a video series in which he directs and edits the content too!

I have recommended Photoshoot Factory to several friends and each time they have been over the moon satisfied with his work and great pricing. I look forward to many more future projects with Dan and being a part of the Photoshoot Factory's growth. read more

Taking photography classes at the Photoshoot Factory enhanced my photo skills by more than 100%!! I had a new Canon camera but was very inexperienced with the technical side of utilizing it. I tried looking through the camera manual for information, but was left more confused. After just one class with Dan (who is an amazing instructor by the way!) I felt less afraid to take pictures because I actually knew how to work my camera. I know I got better at photography because of Dan's hands on approach to instructing classes. Because I learned a new skill every class, I have continued to apply them to my own photographs to continue practicing and improving. Thank you Dan for your dedicated work ethic, professionalism, and encouraging words! He helped me take my photography skills to the next level, I will always appreciate my experience working with him! read more

I highly recommend this place for beginners or those looking to learn more. Dan is an awesome teacher and his hands on approach makes everything easy to understand. I've taken two courses here and after some more practice on my own, I'll probably be back to learn more! read more

Dan is fantastic photographer and a great teacher. I signed up to his introductory studio lighting class and also his advanced lighting class both of which took my photography to another level. He is very patient, explains everything very well, and most of all he cares that you actually learn everything you do in class. It's a very hands on approach and you leave the classes feeling confident that you can utilize what you learned on your very own. With small class sizes, easy to follow instruction and actual studio use you'll get the most out of every course at The Photoshoot Factory. read more

I took the Studio Lighting class. Dan is an awesome teacher. He explains what everything is for and demonstrates how to use it in simple, easy to understand steps. Lighting is a tricky confusing thing for me, but he made it simple and fun. read more

Dan did an awesome job. He was very professional and made me feel at home I will definitely recommend him to anyone.thank you Dan!

Dan is an excellent photographer. He takes his work, and your product, very seriously, and is not satisfied with even the smallest flaws. Although he had never done work on a show dog before, I was so impressed with his approach and thoughtfulness that I hired him to shoot pictures of our dog, and then create a one-page ad for a national magazine. The photos were beautiful, and the ad was imaginative and really allowed the beauty of the photo - and the dog - to be featured. Just superb work. I highly recommend Dan. (He also can do great photoshop work; he did some for us to repair some substandard work by a "professional" dog photographer.) read more

Dan has done our team photos for years and has been extremely professional. He definitely goes above and beyond what has been expected. We decided to go with Dan for our team photos because the "big" companies just weren't as timely and kept missing appointments. Dan has yet to be late or miss an appointment. I highly recommend him for all photo needs!! He's fantastic and his work speaks for itself!! read more

The classes are great. Dan does a wonderful job explaining everything in a way that's easy to understand. He's unbelievably patient and also a talented photographer with a lot of experience. I'm a makeup artist and I wanted to learn how to take better pictures of my work. Yep, mission accomplished. Before the classes I used the auto settings on my camera and my pictures were okay but not great. Now I know how to set everything manually which is helpful for low-light situations and now my shots are 100% better. It's been a lot of fun too and now I take my camera everywhere. I've taken the beginner class, the night time photography class, and I start the studio lighting class in a few weeks. I highly recommend Photoshoot factory classes, don't hesitate! read more

Meet Dan a few months back n I am so grateful. Great teacher n excellent photographer! Class experiences are exciting always looking forward to the next class. Dan is patient n explains things in a manner easily understood. He thinks out of the box n has given me a totally different concept of photography. Taking a photo vs making a photo helps my photography different from others. Highly recommend Dan! read more

I hired Daniel for two projects, a photo shoot in his studio (to recreate mirror images of pictures from my youth to "today") and to take photos for my 60th birthday party. I am more than pleased with the results of both! First of all, Daniel is SO easy to work with; very patient and professional. In the studio shoot, he captured exactly what I was looking for and more. My 60th birthday party was aboard a yacht (6 hours) and Daniel's work was amazing! He was "stealth" and the candid shots he took of me and my guests were well above my expectations. I will cherish these photographs for a lifetime. I definitely recommend Daniel and will certainly use him for future events. read more
