Why Choose Kevin Gourley Photography Workshops?

My whole focus as an experienced photographer and instructor is to help YOU become the photographer you want to be!

 

Here are some reasons to choose Kevin Gourley's photography workshops:

  1. Small Class Sizes - Personal Interaction with the Instructor is a Priority

    My classes are always kept to a smaller size to ensure a quality learning experience. Some businesses offer classes with 40 or more students in the class. You'll never find that with my classes and workshops. You'll get way more personal, one-on-one help with my classes.

  2. Learning Online

    I also offer a wide range of online interactive courses where questions and discussion are welcome any time. Learn in the comfort of your own home!

  3. Years of Experience as an Instructor AND as a Full Time Pro Photographer

    I have been into photography for over 40 years and have taught a wide range of photographers at all skill levels from beginner hobbyist to full time professionals. I don't just talk about photography. I do it professionally. My experience in helping so many people with so many different brands and types of cameras has helped prepare me to take on challenging photography questions about all kinds of camera gear.

  4. I Don't "Speak Down to You"

    My students tell me they have encountered far too many photographers who "teach" classes where they felt like the instructor was speaking down to them, where questions were not welcome, and where the instructor didn't respect the fact that students are there because they want to learn. Your learning is Priority 1 for me. No question is "stupid" and you'll always get a respectful answer.

  5. Support Local Small Business Where Each Student is a Priority

    Kevin Gourley Photography Workshops are operated by me and my wife Gail. This is not some large impersonal corporation. This is a small business, an independent full time pro photographer, who really cares about each and every client, with a 100% dedicated focus on individual relationships with our students.

  6. Convenient Location If You Live in the Central Texas Area

    We are conveniently located just off US Hwy 183 in NW Austin.
    Also, for our online classes, you can participate from anywhere!

  7. "Class Before the Class"

    For many of my classes, I invite my students to come early if they have questions or just need a little additional help. The primary focus is on helping students learn in a safe and encouraging and respectful learning environment.

  8. Broad Range of Classes

    I offer a broad range of classes to help you with various aspects of photography. My destination workshops are the perfect way to put your newly learned skills into practice in some great photography adventures.

  9. Fun

    Be prepared to have some fun. Several of my classes are so much fun, whether we're "light painting" or photographing water droplets. I believe if you are not having fun, you are not doing it right. :-)

  10. Don't Take MY Word For This - I Have a Five Star Rating ***** From My Class Participants!

    It's one thing to know photography, but not all people who know photography can teach it very well. I love photography and I love teaching. My students perhaps say it best:

    • "Kevin has taught me so much about photography. His classes are both fun and challenging! Kevin goes the extra mile to teach students photography using hands-on techniques. He encourages the class to ask questions and he takes the time to be certain that you understand the answer."
    • "I've taken several intro-level photography classes in the Austin area and while I gained some new knowledge from each class, Kevin is a great "teacher" whereas the others are good presenters. I feel like the class was time and money well spent and am already studying to figure out which class to take next."
    • "Kevin is AMAZING!!!" - Vanessa
    • "Great instructor... I learned so much!" - Pam
    • "Excellent instructor! Funny and incredibly informative. Highly recommend his classes for anyone looking to advance their skills." - Sara Bogan
    • "I would recommend this class to anyone that wants to do more with their camera. Kevin removes the intimidation factor and encourages you to do new things and learn from your mistakes."
    • "I have truly enjoyed the classes I have taken with you and feel you are both an incredible teacher and photographer."
    • "Kevin has so much experience and great tips for every issue you could possibly think of. He doesn't only teach the theory, I could really tell that he actually DOES what he's talking about - these are real tips from a real photographer."
    • "You are a magnificent teacher!!"
