"Learn Photography by Taking Photographs, Not Sitting Through Lectures."
Rick McGrath, Ph.D. is an award-winning photographer and experienced educator who believes the best way to learn photography isn't in a classroom—it's with a camera in your hands, out in the real world.
Whether you're struggling to get off Auto mode, understand your camera settings, or create images that truly stand out, Rick provides hands-on, in-the-field photography mentoring designed specifically for newer and developing photographers. From vibrant city streets and local landmarks to breathtaking landscapes and night skies, every outing becomes a practical learning experience.
Rick's personalized approach helps photographers build confidence, master composition, understand light, and develop the creative eye needed to consistently capture powerful images. You'll learn by doing, receive real-time guidance, and leave with photographs you're proud to share—not just notes you'll forget.
If you're ready to move beyond taking snapshots and start creating photographs with purpose, Rick will help you get there—one image at a time.
