I've taken several of these classes and LOVED each one. If you're starting out in photography or…read moretrying to gain some new tips, these classes offer a platform where you can ask all the questions you've been harboring AND find out new ideas and tricks you never knew. I suggest taking the classroom class first, then going on a photowalk (a must do, you will get amazing photos!) and then taking the Lightroom class. All the instructors really know what they're talking about and it's a casual and small enough class that you can get some good quality time with them. These classes finally make you feel familiar with your camera and confident enough to go shoot on your own. I highly recommend them : ).

Gary was excellent! A skilled photographer and consummate professional, Mr. Carrillo assisted us…read morewith my son's first photography class. Gary showed me that his abilities and patience extend to all age ranges and skill levels. He researched my son's camera prior to the course and was able to answer all questions, as well as preemptively show us how to artistically approach shots from different angles and focal points. My eleven year old emerged out of the session with a better understanding of photography than myself (at least pretty close to it) and an experience which he hasn't stopped talking about yet!

From the owner: I'm an Austin Texas based photographer. I specialize in automobile, motor sport, and aviation…read morephotography. In short, if it has a motor... I've always had a passion for fast cars, planes, really anything that roared or soared. With the opening of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, it gave me the opportunity to indulge that passion. I found a wonderful creative outlet to be able to combine my passion for those incredible objects, along with capturing moments that showcased how I felt about them. My photography is done to help others find the passion in these subjects that drives the pursuit of speed and flight. I'm self taught, and enjoy teaching immensely. Sharing my knowledge with someone who has a similar passion for their work is something I find incredibly rewarding. If you have a project that you think my style would suit, please don't hesitate to contact me just because an engine isn't involved. I have a broad range of photographic interests, and I'd love to find my next great passion starting with your project.

Had a great experience getting my headshot done with Kevin!…read more He was quick in responding when I inquired about getting a professional headshot for work. After my initial call, he had sent a form to get my appointment booked for the next weekday. I arrived about 15-20 minutes earlier than my expected appointment and never brought it up, nor did he make me wait. He also offered to wear a mask if I felt more comfortable and offered me a bottled water. I never felt rushed, and he made it clear he could take as many photos as I'd like until I was satisfied. Highly recommend.

I just returned from Kevin's "Fall Photography Fundamentals Workshop" and it is the best class I…read morehave ever taken, and I have taken a lot. He was so prepared to the point he provided the class with binders that included all of the information he was showing on the screen. All we had to do was make a few notes if we wanted which allowed us to pay attention to what he was showing and saying. He is extremely patient and goes out of his way to be sure every student understands what he is saying. I don't care how long you've been photographing, I'm pretty sure you'll learn something new. If you're a beginner this is definitely the class to be in. I cannot recommend his classes enough. They are not overpriced and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Both were very friendly and knowledgable. My camera was ready the same day (they did say 24-48 hours but was called as soon it was ready). Wow. So appreciate their attention to service. I am renting a lens for an upcoming photography trip from them at the end of the month. Their website is very easy to navigate for rentals. Their prices for rentals are extremely competitive with other local camera shops. So happy they are in Austin. Sorry it took me a bit to find them. I will definitely be back.

The Camera Exchange in San Antonio is hands-down the best camera shop I've ever walked into. The…read morestaff here is unbelievably helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether you're a complete novice who barely knows how a camera works or a seasoned photographer looking for the perfect upgrade, they meet you exactly where you are--no ego, no pressure, no fluff. Their used equipment selection is fantastic, and the prices are honestly some of the best you'll find. Everything is clearly explained, tested, and in great condition. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. They take their time, listen to what you actually need, and guide you toward the right gear without upselling or overwhelming you. If you want a shop where you can ask questions, learn something, and walk out with exactly what you need (and at a great price), this is the place. Highly recommend!

I do miss being able to get my dark room supplies here. Oh dark room days. I need to set up a new one, I still shoot analog. (Gosh that.word feels so old. ) The reason for four stars is the way in which the girl greeted me vs the man right behind me. Yes, I noticed. But, the gentleman that assisted me apparently did too. It was a quick & simple sale. I walked in knowing precisely what I needed. I've been shooting for 52 years, I know my stuff. Walked in & out in under 10 minutes & spent $74 on one item & a really neato battery for my D800, my play camera. I had grabbed the Nikon brand, but he showed me the one I got because it charges, the battery itself, via USB. SOLD! I already have extras, so this is my OCD, gotta have it extra. I appreciated him showing me this new shiny new fangled must have. I walked out a happy girl. Time to go click the shutter. The fact that this city is as big as it is, & this is still our only camera store - I'm still so thankful they're here. Most of their employees are exceptional, there's always one. Meh. Don't let em ruin your day.

Don is great -- the best photographer in Austin. I needed some corporate headshots in a hurry…read more Don was able to give me three times that worked for him and we booked the appointment. He texted me the address - we drove to his studio and he was right on time. He took a bunch of shots and my wife and I decided on three of them. Then we picked the best one. He did his photoshop magic and we were done. Copied two versions of the file, one high rez the other for social media. The process couldn't have been easier. Highly recommended.

Located in off of Frontage Rd, off I-25 in Southpark Meadows, Best Buy is in a safe part of town in…read morea lively area. I'll admit, I love Best Buy. I have a very expensive home theatre, a bunch of CDs, DVDs, Blu Rays, 4ks, Xbox and Nintendo games along with a Galaxy Fold 4 phone and accessories. I list these products b/c many of them aren't available at Best Buy anymore. With the advent of streaming, Best Buy no longer carries physical media. So, when you stream Toy Story 2 and say "hey, where's that scene with Stinky Pete?" well that's because Disney has altered the movie and unless you have a physical copy your memories are all you have of the scene. Or perhaps you purchased a game on Sony's streaming service, yup you don't own that either. My point is Best Buy isn't there to give you an option to streaming anymore and their floor space has opened up to even more boring and drab "knick knacks" instead of electronic goods. Now I will admit the people are very nice and they have a dedicated checkout line! Trust me, I went to one in SC and they didn't have dedicated cashiers nor registers! At this Best Buy employees are more than willing to help out with questions and they seek you out! I like good customer service, something that has been lost over the years. The floor plan is relatively well planned however they're shrinking a lot of DIY items like wire lengths, and don't have a robust selection of almost anything say like keyboards, mice, you get the point. This seems to be a corporate initiative because I see it at a lot of different stores. I'm to the point now if I really need something and want to go to Best Buy, I'll look it up before first. I mean I'm someone that enjoys browsing but I also like finding what I need for a particular item the store should carry. Now, I've found this Best Buy seems to have stock a lot of items not many other places don't have in stock. When the first Xbox Series X came out, they had it, with 15 to spare. They have the Switch 2 on hand in case you're wanting that product. Therefore, I can say Best Buy will carry a lot of hot products on hand (provided there's not a manufacturing shortage). In Summary, Best Buy is relatively competitive with pricing and will have many desirable products on hand. The people are nice and if you're in a rush they're pretty good about having short lines. However if you're looking for a niche product check online first as their variety isn't what it once was a few years ago.

Gave my wife laptop to geek squad trying to get it it fixed. Was a keyboard repair. They sent it…read moreout to the service center where it sat for 28 days. They did not complete the repair and sent it back to the store. Well they sent it back with the front of the laptop not even in place, cracks, scratches, screw sockets also cracked. Mouse pad was completely loose. They decided to send it back to the service center where they are to correct the issue they caused. It came back still dented scratches all over some new ones even from the last time. The front panel is actually on however dented in one of the vents on the side to get it back in.... I have now waited another 30- hour for their manager to review my case for "compensation" and only got offered nothing. Got told they are sending out again a month and a half later still nothing. Do not give your computers if you care about it them to geek squad. (They decided to send it out yet again) Also their compensation only applies to in store purchases so if you don't want to get stuck having to buy a new laptop from them avoid this place
