Customer Testimonials
"If you are looking to improve your photography Indy Photo Coach’s 4 week classes offer instruction and hands on shooting sessions at various locations at an affordable price. They make the classes fun and interesting. Class size is very limited which allows plenty of time for individual help. Having a small class also allows interaction among those attending with opportunities to share ideas and images.
"I attended [an "Experience Builder" Level 2] session held at the IPL Steam Plant on South St. by Victory Field. The session started out with a review of the preceding class with attendees showing samples of their pictures. David gave a brief discussion on the types of images to look for along with suggestions on working in low light. A plant manager then gave us safety tips and led us to the area where we could take pictures for over an hour. Everyone enjoyed this unique opportunity and the challenge of taking photos at this site."

"I stumbled on Indy Photo coach on the web. I've learned more with them than I did with three of IUPUI's classes." - Ann Springer (Brown County Excursion & Fundamentals of Photography)
"Our instructor did a great job of teaching. He was always very informative. When it was obvious that we didn't get something he would go back and try to explain it in a different way. He also did a good job of laughing and keeping the class at ease. Indy Photo Coach is an exceptional way to get started in the wonderful world of photography. At a very affordable price, one can learn and explore a fantastic new hobby." - Chuck Rohlfing, Carmel (Fundamentals of Photography)
"The instructor did an excellent job at teaching me the basics of my camera and photography. He was very informative and really knew his stuff. I would highly recommend Indy Photo Coach to anyone that is wanting to get into photography, whether it be professionally or just as a hobby. " - Letitia Smith, Indianapolis (Private Lessons)

"Going in to this class, I felt a little overwhelmed since I had never used a DSLR camera before. David’s enthusiasm and encouragement put me at ease right away. I can tell that he truly wants me to learn as much as possible and to get as much out of his class as possible, and more importantly, he believes that I can do it! I can’t wait for the next class to start up in a couple of weeks!" - Stephanie, Indianapolis (Fundamentals Class)
"I have never taken a photo class before, nor used a SLR camera, but after only a few short lessons there were dramatic differences in my photos. I have achieved the look that I was going for and it has made a difference. I would highly recommend DJ’s 4 weeks course to help sharpen your camera skills. It was well worth the time, money, and effort, plus his prices are very reasonable for what you receive. I am now a very confident SLR camera user..." - Maria, Indianapolis (Private Lessons)
"Most people have a camera and anyone can snap a photo, but with some time and with these classes, you can say, 'Wow! Take a look at that!' " - David Good (Fundamentals of Photography)
"After receiving my DSLR camera as a gift, I really wanted to dive into photography. I wanted to take the type of pictures seen in magazines and on photography website's so I joined the class to learn how to master the camera to get the best shots. The classes were very laid back and DJ really knows his "stuff". I left the class feeling more comfortable with my camera and encouraged to go out and get the best shots. Even if you need a refresher course in photography or just starting out, I highly recommend the classes at Indy Photo Coach." - Robert, Camby (Fundamentals Class)
"If you are looking to learn about that fancy camera you just bought, the basics of photography or just how to take better pictures, then you have found the right class. David is an excellent teacher and very knowledgeable in photography. He takes a hands on approach, gives you the essentials, and keeps you interested in learning more. Photography can be intimidating, but not in this class!!" - Gillian, Indianapolis (Fundamentals Class)
"Indy Photo Coach is the place to turn when you want to learn more about all aspects of photography. I emailed a request for private lessons on light metering, within a day I had the lesson scheduled. I learned exactly what I needed to, plus a lot more. Jeff's patience was in abundance. Thanks so much Jeff and all the guys at Indy Photo Coach! You'll be seeing me again!" Jennifer Stroup (Private Lesson)
"I would recommend the Fundamentals class to anyone who has not taken a photography class yet. No matter what you've learned on your own, you're going to pick up some great tips, better understand your camera's capabilities, and improve your shooting skills." -Mike Hobson (Fundamentals Class)
"The personal sacrifice the instructor provided was inspirational and demonstrated a level of commitment I would consider exceptional." -Jeffrey Muncy (Fundamentals Class)
"I bought a nice camera but had no idea how to use it - the manual and photography books couldn't answer all of my questions. Indy Photo Coach was such an easy way to learn, get my questions answered, and get some one-on-one attention. It is definitely worth it if you want to improve your skills and gain understanding!"-Colleen Wittig (Fundamentals Class)
"I learned so much and had fun at the same time! The Indy Photo Coach instructors are enthusiastic and love to see when a concept "clicks" with a student. I am looking forward to my next class with Indy Photo Coach." - -Kris Willing (Fundamentals Class)
"I was very impressed with how much I learned from this class. The instructor was excellent at ensuring every question was answered and the small class size was perfect for learning." -A. Hope Hayne (Fundamentals Class)
"I came into the Fundamentals class very intimidated and hungry for photography knowledge. I was fed so much information over the 4 weeks and can’t believe how my photos, judgment and perspective have improved. After this class I am more confident and hungry for more! I'm ready for the next serving of classes!" -Shanae Monger (Fundamentals Class)
"I have had a DSLR camera for several years and had pretty much mastered the Auto mode. I didn't even know how to use the manual mode and no matter what I read I just couldn't understand f/stops. With great apprehension I signed up for the Fundamentals class. When I met Jeff and the rest of the class my fears were immediately put to rest. I learned so much about my camera and photography in this course and I finally understood f/stops. My only regret is that I waited so long to do it. I look forward to taking advantage of other classes offered by Indy Photo Coach and building on the knowledge gained in this class. I highly recommend this class to anyone who has a DSLR and is resorting to the Auto mode like I was. There really is a huge difference!" -Robin Fleming (Fundamentals)
"This workshop provided a great amount of education and material in a short amount of time. Creativity and set up of shots was limitless. Chateau Thomas Winery is a great venue for awesome photos as well as to hang out. I'll have to bring my husband and friends here!" -Stephanie Stewart (Winery Workshop)
"The Lightroom class was fabulous! John Perez has a teaching style that is easy to learn from & is most patient with his students. It was like taking a class from an old friend! Thanks Indy Photo Coach! I'll be in touch!" -Janice VanGorder (Lightroom Seminar)
"To find a service with the expertise, professionalism and knowledge of Indy Photo Coach has been a blessing. I started out "liking" to take pictures. After one session with IPC I have built the confidence, passion and knowledge to accomplish so much more with my camera. If you are looking for a fun and entertaining way to gain the knowledge you need to become a better photographer, you have found the right place. A+ to IPC!!!" -Tony Monteleone (Private Lessons)
"I've been using Adobe Photoshop Elements for several years, but I was only scratching the surface of what this tool can do. Without the expert guidance of an experienced instructor like John Perez, you are unlikely to master it on your own, even with the help of well written manuals. John definitely enabled me turn it up a notch through this workshop." -David Wensits (Photoshop Elements)
"I'll be shooting my first wedding this summer, and this class really helped me get prepared for it, by talking about the worst situations and tricky lighting and unfortunate wedding day mishaps, to the great moments and unexpected awesome photo opportunities that can occur. We got to get hands on experience in a beautiful church, and the feedback and encouragement from our instructor pushes me even more to pursue my passion for photography. Thank you!" –Stephanie S. (Wedding Photography)
"I believe this HDR Class was excellent and John did an outstanding job in presenting the material." -Wes Hamilton (HDR Workshop)
