Private Photography Lessons

Take Your Photography to the Next Level

Colors of the Season: Available as a Print or Art Card In addition to Creative Eye Photography Workshops, Mike MacDonald offers private lessons and semi-private instruction in the Chicago, Illinois area to photographers who wish to quickly accelerate their photographic expertise. Creative Eye Gift Cards are available to give the gift of better photography to a loved one. See Lesson Pricing.

Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

- Photoshop Techiques - Digital Printmaking - Nature Photography
- Learning Exposure - Understanding Your Camera - Landscape Photography
- Photographic Composition - Using Natural Light - In-field Sessions

Attending a photography class with other students is certainly a great way to learn photography techniques, but each student is unique and will absorb material differently. And because everyone has his own way of learning, some specific needs and challenges may never be addressed in a workshop setting. So, from time to time, it helps to get personal photography instruction to get you unstuck or catapult you to the next level.

Whether it be landscape photography, macro photography, or wildlife photography, Mike can help bring you to that next level of photographic expertise. Though Mike is often recognized for his landscape work, his macro photography and wildlife photography have also been nationally published. And, if you use a digital camera or a film camera, it doesn't matter. The fundamentals and techniques for making a photograph are essentially the same.

Based on various criteria and your specific needs, Mike will design the private lesson with a time period that should properly cover the topic. It may require an hour of instruction at Mike's home studio or a two-hour field session at a local nature preserve. This is why lessons are quoted on an individual basis.

Another option, which is more affordable, is to take a semi-private lesson with a friend. If you have a friend who shares your level of photographic expertise and has similar needs, then Mike can design an instruction session for the both of you.

Finally, we offer "Personal Classes" for the individual who cannot make our scheduled classes. Mike actually sits you down and gives the class just to you. Please see our Pricing.

If you have further questions about private nature photography instruction, please email us or call 630-852-8448 so we can address your specific needs.
