    I thought this was an excellent class! Juan broke down the most important camera settings in a very digestible and easy to understand format and then reinforced that with some exercises for taking shots using different settings. Would definitely recommend the class and Juan as an instructor.

    I had a great experience at Juan?s photography workshop in St. Pete. Juan is very friendly and knowledgeable, and he explains things in a way that?s easy to understand. As a beginner, I learned several things that I?ve already started applying to my photos. I really liked that he taught the theory first and then took us outside to practice. Highly recommend!

    This is a very unique island - only accessible by ferry. Partially developed, but lots of more natural areas. An isolated beach at sunset. Used my Canon 50mm, ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/160. Balanced the camera on a beach chair.

    There?s nothing like the chase for a great sunrise In Tampa. This morning the water was calm and the sky was a beautiful orange I wanted to make sure the Pier was also incorporated into the photo and although it was not the usual composition or angle I go for the shot actually turned out great.

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
