The instructor was knowledgeable about photography and cameras and taught the class in a coherent manner. I liked the analogies that he used and I found the class to be informative, even though I knew a lot of the content. He also took the time to show students some things individually. However, he brushed away questions that the students had that (in my opinion) would help understand the subject matter better. I had a specific question that I later realized had a very simple answer I could have Googled for, that he did not know the answer to. Also, he was not prepared for the class. The handouts had missing pages and the class was bigger than he had expected, rendering not enough space and people coming in later. This should have been taken into account. The classroom was also pretty cold, although that was attributed to the renovation that was going on at the time.

Nessa is not my real name because I would like to remain anonymous. PhotoManhattan was overpriced and unorganized. They canceled classes without informing the students or informed them at the very last minute, they never answer the phone and always have to call people back, and the instructors are knowledgeable but rude. Sky constantly puts people down and Charlie talks too much about things that are irrelevant to the subject. The classes were 100% overpriced and you can learn most of this stuff from YouTube or the internet. Don’t waste your money or time.
What an excellent experience to learn more about my camera. Skye, the fashion photographer of 20 years, knew how to read the class and adapt the materials towards the students. I knew a few simple things, but even the first class has taught me a lot about my camera that I never knew about. I usually use automatic, but when we went deeper in learning about the each item separately and how it affects the settings and when to use the settings, it made me even that more skillful. Why didn't I know this before. I definitely want to take more classes in the future and recommend for you to take these, especially if you have never taking a digital camera class before. Although the description mentioned about not having to know your camera, you should at least know a few things like the location of ISO, aperture, shutter-speed, exposure, in order to optimize your monies for the class.
I took a one time DSLR workshop with an instructor named Sky, and it was great! Sky knows exactly what he’s talking about and I’ve learned so many new things in his course! Definitely looking to return!
