All classes are hosted as walking / interactive workshops that feature detailed / personalized instruction aimed at showing you how to use your camera (Point and Shoot or SLR) to capture images in real settings ..how you want them to look, on demand; because nothing is more frustrating than having that perfect travel image right in front of you...and NOT being able to capture it! For those less interested in the technical aspects of photography and who would rather learn about Chicago from a photographer's point of view, we do have less intensive experiences available as well.To us, it does not matter whether a student has a point and shoot or SLR, because photography is about capturing lighting and angles, not about how much you paid for your camera. Through our extensive experience and knowledge of all cameras on the market, we can teach them how to take the types of images they want, on demand, by showing them how to utilize their camera outside of the auto mode and achieve its and their full potential; and we do this by breaking down the technical components...and making them easy to understand and apply. So the next time they want to capture the perfect shot in a perfect..or imperfect setting...they can.

“Night Session - A Must Do”

Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW

I have recently discovered that photo sessions in new cities is the way to go for great value for the money. Not only do you get to learn from professional photographers but you also get a one on one tour guide of the city. Jason certainly did not disappoint. He helped me tremendously with my photography and certainly helped in... More

“Workshop worth your time...”

Reviewed 14 May 2012

I got this photography class as a gift from a friend, and it was great. Jason has many timeslots available and is completely flexible if your schedule needs to change. Additionally, he is willing to take extra time in the classes to ensure that you get the most out of the time. Jason is very patient, and there are no... More

“Highly recommended for any SLR owner”

Reviewed 26 April 2012

Had an excellent experience with Jason. My wife did the class and she enjoyed it so much that I did it. Definitely recommended for the people like me who shoot in "Auto" mode all the time because they don’t know how to utilize the zillions of functions on the SLR's- I don’t think I’ll ever use "Auto" again. I was... More

Thank you do much for the kind words and for a great experience on my part as well. Your questions, and strong attention to detail made the experience fun because we really had a great chance to cover the technical and creative aspects of photography. I will send you a reminder or 2 about flash photography later today as discussed... More

“Great tips-individualized”

Reviewed 17 April 2012

Jason did a wonderful job of taking me through my digital camera's basic functions and showing me how to optimize my shots. I no longer have to shoot on the IA setting. He is also very personable and fun to be with. I had a great time. More

“A Great Investment”

Reviewed 16 April 2012

Yesterday morning I took Jason’s two hour walking photography class, and I strongly recommend Jason and his class. I have been using my Nikon D-90 for nearly two years, and I have read the instruction book (as well as D-90 for Dummies) twice, but it took the very enthusiastic Jason less than 30 minutes to wean me from always shooting...

Stuart, it was a sincere pleasure working with you and to help you learn more about your D90. I particularly enjoyed your approach to capturing / telling a story in a candid yet, respectful manner. I also enjoyed your adventurous approach to tracking down the best shot to see the helicopter taking down the Unitrin sign. It was great to... More

Reviewed 3 April 2012

Last October, I had the opportunity to participate in a walking photography class with Jason Wolf and it was such an amazing experience that I swore I would take another class the next time I am in Chicago. This past weekend, I made the return visit and booked a class with Jason. Anyone who is interested in doing so can... More

“Learn what you can do with your camera”

Reviewed 12 March 2012

On a 2+-hour downtown walk, Jason gave my sister and me a fun-and-fact-filled private lesson in the essentials to take optimal pictures. He helped us compare the same shots with different settings and how to consider the settings so we could experiment on our own. He was sensitive to our questions and goals for picture-taking, and he has already delivered... More

“I Never Knew My Camera Could Do That!”

My sister and I took Jason's two hour walking tour class today and had no idea that our Cannon digital cameras were capable of doing so much. He took us through the basics of white balance, metering, ISO. demonstrating each with basic comparative shots. He then had us use some of our favorite Chicago Icons - the Art Institute Lion,...

“Time with Jason, is time well spent.”

Reviewed 13 January 2012

If you think you know your camera and what it can do, think twice. Jason will be able to show you tips and tricks that you never knew your camera could do. Reading the camera manual is one thing, taking a camera class is another, but being with Jason was by far the best experience. The hands on learning and... More
