About Rosalind
I am a nature photographer with a lifelong passion for capturing the beauty of birds, flowers, and landscapes. I invite you to embark on a photographic journey where inspiration meets education.
I have watched birds and taken photographs since I was a child. Inspiration started early in childhood from reading Gerald Durrell's animal travelogues, Ernest Shackleton's journal about the Endurance, and Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle. Nature has always been my muse. There is nothing more thrilling than getting up before dawn to capture the morning light on birds and flowers or staying up past midnight to capture the Milky Way and other galaxies in all their glory.
I see photography as the application of physics to art. The essence of photography is the manipulation of light. I am a self-taught photographer who has spent 1000s of hours perfecting my skills. I have taken workshops, read and practiced. The key is practice. My teaching skill comes from teaching high school and college for over 20 years. I am an innovative teacher who loves to come up with multiple ways to teach concepts. We all learn differently.
Why learn with me?
- Benefit from over 20 years of teaching experience in subjects like calculus, physics, biology, and computer science, as well as photography.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I offer a supportive environment where knowledge flows both ways.

Capture Your World: Personalized Photography Lessons Just for You!
Are you ready to transform your photography skills and capture the world through your unique lens? Let's embark on a creative journey together, where every lesson is tailored to your personal style and interests.
Start by sharing six of your recent photos—some you're proud of and some you're not. Whether snapped on a phone or a camera, these images will help us understand your current skill level. Together, we'll explore your motivations and preferences with questions like: Why do you want to take photography lessons? What subjects captivate you? Have you ventured beyond automatic settings? Are you familiar with aperture, shutter speed, and ISO?
Your responses and photos guide the creation of a customized learning path. No two students have the same experience! Each lesson builds on the last, with homework assignments that challenge and inspire. We'll review your assignment photos in the next session, adjusting our approach based on your progress. If you excel, we advance; if you need more practice, we find new ways to master the skill.
Editing is a crucial part of digital photography, and you'll learn to organize and enhance your images. You set the pace and choose the focus—whether it's bird photography or another genre, your interests shape your lessons.
I've successfully taught students of all ages. My lessons blend lecture and hands-on activities to ensure success for everyone. With a wealth of teaching experience, I adapt to different learning styles and needs. Students need to be 15 years or older.
Before we begin, consider these questions: Why do you want to learn photography? What subjects do you love to photograph? What equipment do you have or need? How do you learn best? Are there any personal considerations I should be aware of? What's your budget for lessons and equipment?

Perfect! I was extremely pleased with my first lesson. Rosalind is very personable, professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. I've been afraid of my camera since I got it over a year ago, but after one lesson I'm already feeling empowered and excited to learn more!
- Thank you Deanna. I am so happy to hear that you are already feeling more comfortable with your camera.Rosalind's response :
Perfect! Rosalind is a personable and knowledgeable teacher. She meets students where they are in their photographic journeys. She suggested to me the proper equipment to use and is guiding me in learning how to use the different features of my camera. In addition, I am learning the basics of the art of photography, which is very different from taking snapshots on my phone. I am also learning editing techniques. As I have been growing in knowledge, Rosalind has been expanding opportunities to join others who are also learning from her, so that her students are able to learn from each other. I highly recommend Rosalind's one-on-one style for individualized learning.
- Thank you Diana for your review. I am so glad that my teaching style is helping you achieve your photographic goals.Rosalind's response :
Perfect! Ms. Rosalind Philips is a great instructor and has been extremely helpful in developing my photography. She is very knowledgeable and passionate and has inspired and motivated me to continuously improve my craft. I started working with Ms. Philips almost a year ago and was a novice when it came to the camera. She has helped me understand my own camera and how it functions, the exposure triangle, how to adjust settings, and even to the final edits in Lightroom. She takes you through the whole process while still focusing on what you want to accomplish. Her instruction is hands-on and gives you various activities during and after the lesson. Ms. Philips is very knowledgeable and can offer so much information whether you want to do wildlife, landscape, street, or even rodeo photography. Even my wife, who is very critical, has seen a lot of improvement in my photos. All of this is because of the guidance of Ms. Rosalind Philips. I highly recommend her if you are seeking any instruction or mentoring during your photography journey.
- Thank you Chris. It is special to be called "a great instructor" by another teacher. I'm so glad that your family is able to see the marvelous progress you have made as a photographer.,Rosalind's response :
Perfect! She is always so helpful in keeping our lesson times flexible over Zoom, and accomodating my work schedule. Also, our lessons are custom-made for the speed of my learning, and nothing is ever "set in stone". The lessons evolve organically based on my questions or needs.
- Thank you Kathy. I am happy to be a part of your photography journey.Rosalind's response :
Perfect! I have found Ros to be very knowledgeable as well as personable! She has been very helpful and has met me "where I am" as far as with my abilities and equipment. I appreciate all of her patience and input. The replay option of our lessons has been invaluable for me.
- Thank you so much Kathy. I enjoy working with you and am glad that you find the lesson recordings helpful. I feel strongly that going back and being able to listen to parts of the lesson again is part of what makes the Zoom lessons successful.Rosalind's response :

Rosalind is excellent teacher. This wonderful lady could teach anything! I'm so glad my husband found her to give me photography lessons. Rosalind is very knowledgeable about a lot of things, but especially photography. I would recommend her to anyone of any skill. Whether it's something you've never done, or just need to brush up, Rosalind definitely knows her stuff! I LOVE me some Rosalind!!
Ros is very knowledgeable and eager to share her photography. She has helped me to use my iPhone to take amazing pictures and I feel so much more confident taking/sharing my pictures after only one session. She is very patient and encouraging and I am looking forward to my next lesson.
Rosalind is a brilliant educator. Her teaching style is straightforward, informative, structured, enthusiastic and ego-free.
My photography, my editing and my computer knowledge has improved exponentially. She is knowledgeable on many different editing platforms and camera brands. I highly recommend Rosalind as a teacher from beginners to advanced photography and editing.See more recommendations
