What our students say about learning with Mel

What I like about the lessons is that I can now make improvements to images that I used to only do on my desktop in Photoshop. So it’s faster and easier. More images get cleaned up and improved and sent to friends and family in good shape.

I love to shoot sunrise and sunset shots. My final images have definitely improved since working with Mel.

If all you have done with your iPhone is snapped a quick shot with NO ADJUSTMENTS, then you need to spend time with Mel L. With just part of the first class he patiently walked me through some basic functions which completely changed how I shoot photos. The interactive class with continuous feedback inspired new possibilities for new and old shots. The hour flew by and I’m looking forward to future classes with Mel. He’s a talented teacher and gifted photographer.
