These emails come with the intent of helping you be a better photographer. But if you're tired of hearing from me, unsubscribe.

And if you want more photography stuff to read, there's a place on the interwebs where past emails I wrote are stored. You'll find 'em in the "Newsletter Hub."

Remember, I'd like to know what you want to know about photography. So, if you have any questions, email me at sam@samdamico.com. And for what it's worth. When you send me an email, unless someone's lookin' over my shoulder, I'm the only one that sees it.

Hello, .

I was going to tell you why you should register for my Introduction to Photography class starting this Sunday, but students say it is better than I would've. Although they put their names on my public reviews and comments, I didn't feel comfortable sharing their names through this private email. I've included links to the sources of the quotes.

“The workshop was an ideal way to learn the basics of manual photography. Sam has an excellent disposition and made me feel competely comfortable with my own artistic judgement — no small feat!” 

--

“At first I was a bit intimidated by using a manual SLR camera. Through Sam’s class, I now have more options and control in taking pictures and have fewer “failed” shots. I can now anticipate how the camera will perform and can manipulate the exposure to capture what I want to capture. Sam’s gentle, reassuring teaching style made it easy and fun to learn about photography. I especially appreciate Sam’s flexibility in letting the class discussion drift to whatever was on our minds. I appreciate that Sam didn’t force harsh judgmental rules on our work. All of my questions were clearly answered. I got exactly what I wanted to get out of this class.”

“Fantastic class! Sam really is a great teacher. He encouraged us to seek out and find our own unique visual voice while at the same time providing us with a solid foundation of photography skills to work from. Thanks again!”

"OK, are you serious about improving your photography skills and knowledge? Are you a novice with a camera you can only use in auto, or a new professional wobbly on your feet? You have found your answer. Sam is absolutely incredible. He has an innate knack for explaining complex and vital photography techniques and concepts in the simplest, most digestible manner you could ever imagine. Sam is a vet photographer with years of amazing experience, and in his classes, he generously transfers all of that knowledge to you. It's amazing. I took his first series, already signing up for his second and third. Could not recommend these classes more."

"Search no more! Whether you're brand new to photography, or have dabbled a bit but want a deeper understanding of your camera and how to take awesome photos, the "Introduction to Photography" class is for you.". . .

"I really enjoyed this class, but more importantly--I take better photos. I just finished the beginner class. I didn't know how much I didn't know. This was a nuts a bolts course on using your camera in Manual mode. You'll begin to understand light and how it affects your photos, and how you can manipulate it to create the photos that you want. I've watched online tutorials on photography in the past, and the information never stuck. Because of the small class size we got hands on teaching I was able to get a much better understanding of my camera. I recommend this class for anyone that wants to learn to take better photos. I will be signing up for his intermediate class."

If you're curious about how I would've said it? 

Take it because it'll help you be a better photographer.

The  Introduction To Photography class starts this Sunday, February 11, at noon. 

And there are other scheduled group classes below. 

Smaller classes mean better learning, so no more than five participants and me are in each class. 

But smaller classes also mean spots fill up quicker. 

And remember, we learn and improve by doing, so practice making at least one picture daily. 

That's all for now; thanks for reading! 
Sam

I'll help you be a better photographer—study and practice photography with me. 

And what if the timing doesn't work for you in any of my scheduled group classes? If that's the case, let's schedule a one-time lesson or a series of in-person or online private instruction that covers the same things as my group classes. 

Ways to work with me are listed below.
