So set yourself a challenge and make the most of everything right outside your door! When was the last time you went to one of Houston's great museums, like the Museum of Fine Arts? In fact, when was the last time you explored a new neighborhood? After our classes, you will be excited to rediscover your city through the lens of your camera!

Not many cities can boast such stunning urban oases, but Houston can! Prefer to photograph people? Our online courses will help teach you skills to snap the perfect party pic or take memorable portraits of your friends and family. We even have an online course for the best selfie!
