“It was my impression that Peter still thinks of himself as a student—he is still striving to learn more—and that comes across in his tutoring because he does not teach, he shares.“
— Steve Thomas, Attorney / Private Tutoring / July, 2014
“The emphasis on relationships and emotion was spot on, as well as letting dogs be dogs. Nicely paced. Great value.“
— Donna Henry / Dog Photography / October, 2017
“I thought this was a good value and would certainly recommend this class to friends.“
— Rachel / Beginner DSLR / July, 2012
“I had enough of a grasp of aperture, shutter speed and ISO to make me dangerous! It was exactly the amount of information I was looking for.“
— Allison Bonlander / Beginner DSLR / November, 2014
“This price accurately represents the skill and expertise of the instructor. This class was a great value if not a steal.“
— Emily Callaghan / Beginner Photoshop / June, 2017
“I shoot like I play pool-I make an attempt and hope something goes in. You have shown me how some of my “lucky” shots really came to be.“
— Peter Stawicki / DSLR Evening Classes / March, 2011
“Terrific value - greatly appreciate the quality of instruction for the money.“
— Shawn Hearn / DSLR Evening Classes / June, 2018

— Holly Lynch / Beginner DSLR / April, 2015

    WHAT WE DO AT DCP
    Since our first test classes were offered at the (then) Spot Studio in 2009 we have had more than 1600 unique clients come to us for photography training. The feedback and reviews have been overwhelmingly positive and we are expanding to offer a full range of classes from basic camera operation to immersive, 6-day workshops with nationally recognized photographers and teachers.
    HOW YOU FIT IN
    If you're just getting started, consider the DSLR Evening Classes or Beginner Full Day Workshop. If you're already comfortable with the basics and want to advance your photography, look into one-on-one tutoring, a multi-day workshop, software or other specialty classes. Join us for a movie night or attend a lunch talk or gallery show. We look forward to meeting you at the studio.
