Voices of Experience

“ I would like to thank Seacoast Photography School for helping me take my photography to the next level. Before taking lessons, I only knew how to use the auto setting and the zoom on my camera. Today I am only ever in manual mode. If anyone is interested his 6 week course, it is a game changer. It’s all online so you do not have to live in NH or ME like me. I cannot recommend it enough.” -Rachel

Go From Beginner to Confident Photographer in Six Live Zoom Sessions

Photography doesn’t get better by guessing. It improves when you understand how you see through the camera lens, how light behaves, and how to make intentional choices, not by memorizing menus, watching videos or chasing gear.

This six-week live program is designed for beginner and intermediate photographers who want clear understanding, renewed confidence, and consistent results.

You’ll get the equivalent of multiple private lessons, hands-on assignments, live feedback, Lightroom training, and your own photography website, all in one structured experience.

Comparable private instruction, editing courses, and website tutorials typically exceed $1,000–$2,000. This complete program is $575, with payment plans available.

Program Investment:

$575.00
Includes a 2-hour one-on-one camera session with your instructor before the six-week course begins. This serves as a prerequisite to ensure every participant starts the course confident with their camera to avoid being overwhelmed in the session.
