About Alan
One-on-one instruction is a great way to teach, and I believe that my students progress at a much faster rate than those students in a classroom situation.
Teaching is one of the best ways to keep learning!
When Life Magazine folded in the early 1970s, the photographer I was working with, John O. Shearer, was offered a position as a professor at The Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. John invited me to teach darkroom and basic camera work, which grew to include instruction on how to plan and assemble a picture story. In addition, while at Columbia, I also worked for famed television producer and director Fred W. Friendly instructing his students on film and motion picture camera work.
Staff instructor, The Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, 1973-1978; apprenticed for Life Magazine photographer John O. Shearer, 40+ years of work in the field and studio.

Speaking with them to determine what they want to do, and what they actually know. Building from there, I tailor a lesson plan that will serve to get my students to a skill level, both with their cameras and using the post production software, PhotoShop and Lightroom, that will allow them to create images they will be proud of.
Beginners and intermediate level, some of whom were working towards eventually turning professional. In several recent cases my students have reached professional levels and are currently producing paid free lance assignments.
Talk with the photographer, explain what you want, where you want to go and how you think you can get there. Go to the library, if time permits, and go through books of photography, as opposed to books ON photography. See which style of photography catches your eye which can serve as a starting point.
Covering Harvey/Irma/Maria responses from Texas to St. Thomas.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do you want to accomplish and what path do you see towards achieving that goal? In addition, what type/types of photography do you want to pursue? For example someone who wants to be a studio photographer will take a vastly different path, once the basics are firmly in place, than a photojournalist or landscape photographer will take.

Perfect! He's very patient with me. Understood that I had no idea of how to even hold my camera, teaching me at my level. He made a teaching plan so we would stay on schedule. Flexible scheduling and very reasonable prices. I highly recommend Alan for a great learning experience in photography and photoshop.
Perfect! Alan is a wonderful photography instructor and an equally wonderful human being. He is experienced, patient, and anxious to share his love of photography with his students. Don't hesitate to reach out to him for guidance ... regardless of whether you are an absolute beginner or have experience in photography. You will learn something from Alan and enjoy your time with him as well!
