Dallas Center for Photography

“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
“The true learning that occurred was from an engaged speaker who is passionate about photography and imparted expert level experiential knowledge and tips and tricks.“
— Kasey Pool / DSLR Evening Classes / March, 2015
““Surprises?” Yes. I can shoot in manual mode now. I usually call that scary mode.“
— Frank Urias / Beginner DSLR / February, 2013
“The books and online tutorials I’ve taken don’t come close to how much I learned in just 2 ½ hours!“
— Zaida Quinteros / DSLR Evening Classes / October, 2018
“Terrific value - greatly appreciate the quality of instruction for the money.“
— Shawn Hearn / DSLR Evening Classes / June, 2018
“Peter was an awesome instructor and explained the material very well. I can't imagine improving on the class.“
— Troy Aikman / Beginner DSLR / February, 2018
“Peter is the consummate professional, but more importantly to me I have found him to be creatively encouraging. I am much bolder now and more confident in my choices and believe he has been instrumental in this.“
— J.Pritchard / Private Tutoring / June, 2011
“I like that Peter advised to just go out and shoot. Sometimes it can be info overload and this advice helps.“
— D'Andre Ballard / Intermediate DSLR / March, 2015
“I'm so excited to know how to light meter! It was great to practice this when I had a backlight model today! Instant improvement and feeling of control in this situation.“
— Jayia Pauza / Intermediate DSLR / January, 2018

    WHAT WE DO AT DCP

    Since our first test classes were offered at the (then) Spot Studio in 2009 we have had more than 4,000 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.
