I found Xion Lester through a Craiglist Ad. And ya know what made Xion stand out…read more Not only did she reply very shortly after the Craiglist Ad went up, she was super responsive after I followed up with her. I can't give Xion a higher recommendation as a photographer. Not only was she responsive, professional, communicative, kind and punctual; her photography talent is impressive. I've used a number of photographers that just wern't great. Either they didn't know how to control the lighting, the photographs were blurry, or the subject content just wasn't good. The first event Xion did for me was my &pizza event and after I saw the amount and quality of photographs, I used her for every single event I could get her for. I probably used her for 10 different events. But, what is the ultimate testimonial for Xion's service is that I comissioned her to take my Family portrait. And it came out beautifully. She is now in between Maryland and Florida to my understanding- and I'm so sad, cause I need to find someone to replace her for regular events. Which will be very very difficult.

Such a cool and different experience! Took myself on a solo date here and had a blast! Things I…read moreenjoyed about the experience: - they walk you through every step of the process - there's adult beverages for purchase if you'd like - the music and the instructors are so phenomenal! - you can pick up your camera a few days in advance (if you'd opt for the package where you take your own pictures) - the instructors guide you to make sure you have a product you'd enjoy at the end of the experience I would definitely do it again as another solo date OR

More experienced photographers may disagree, but as a beginner, I found WSP's "Focus on…read moreComposition" course super helpful. The class tried to instill a habit of thinking through a checklist before taking a picture (or evaluating it afterwards). The checklist included, among other things: * What's the subject? * Do the direction and quality of light work for your subject? * Does the background distract from the subject? * Check the frame's edges: Is the cropping awkward? * Is there comfortable spacing between the elements of your photograph? Our class was small, so in addition to the lectures and the pithy, informative handouts, we could spend more time going over our homework, getting concrete suggestions for how to improve. For example, the instructor (Joe Yablonsky) would sometimes suggest moving the camera up, down, right, left, closer, or further, to get a cleaner background, a more flattering portrait angle, or more interesting "directionality" in the photo's lines. Other times, the instructor would notice patterns-- that my ISOs tended to be too high, or that there's dust on someone's sensor, or that the focusing was sometimes off. He'd then ask how we took the shot, and suggest new settings or focusing methods (or suggest cleaning the sensor!). Sometimes he'd ask the class to weigh in on the critique, so we could also benefit from our talented (and opinionated!) classmates. One session was a fun field trip to the National Mall. At the National Gallery of Art sculpture garden,we chased photogenic squirrels and captured tourists' hilarious reactions to Joan Miro's Personnage Gothique, Oiseau-Eclair. (Google it if you don't know it). I watched as one classmate got several amazing portraits of strangers, just by walking up and asking. The instructor also gave me a demonstration of how to get my camera to focus with a neutral density filter. (I had been having trouble with that). The course just ended last week, and I still need a lot of practice. But it's made my photos noticeably better. (One of my homework assignments even got published last week, as the page 2 photo in the Washington Post Express!) The downsides: Classes can be expensive! (Luckily I had a gift certificate). Sometimes you can find coupons or Living Social deals, e.g. here's one that's on right now (as of late March 2014): http://conta.cc/1jNpdud Washington School of Photography can be a pain to get to without a car. It's somewhat walkable from Twinbrook Metro, but the commute from DC (especially with weekend red line schedules) took me more than an hour.

Info@imagesbychristiani.com He did my daughter's wedding this past Saturday, May 7, 2022 and did a fantastic job. He also came to the rehearsal to scope out where where the best pictures would be and talked to the bride and groom ahead of time . He then arrived on time the day of the wedding ....one of my few vendors that did and was very attentive the whole day. It is not easy to get a large group together to photograph and he did so throughout the day. He was the most pleasant vendor we had to deal with and he had the patience of a saint. I cannot wait to see the pictures he took .. I have no doubt they will be great. He also helped in other areas where he thought it would make it easier for us when he heard we were having a problem with something... I think that is above and beyond and shows what a nice person he is. I can't emphasize enough that if you want a great photographer he is the one to pick look no further... and reasonably priced !!!!
