Photography Lessons from Victoria Sprung

If you want to dive right into learning more about photography, I'm your girl! I don't like filler or fluff, and I like to cram as much info as possible into my lessons, while still making sure you 100% get it. My specialties include lighting, in-camera effects, timeline and client management, photography technique, and all things related to the Photography aspect of running a Photography business. I specialize in Wedding Photography, but I can teach you anything about photography.

 

Do you struggle with controlling light throughout the wedding day? Do you find yourself in the same challenging situations week after week? Do you often get stuck with “bad light”, and a small amount of time to figure something out and to get awesome photos for your Clients?

 

I have some quick to learn, easy to implement solutions to many of the challenges you face as a Photographer. You’ll learn step by step and with lots of graphic illustration (you’re probably a visual learner, right?!) the tips and tricks I use to get photos that are beyond the typical snapshot. When you leave one of my classes, you’ll be armed with lots of new things to try, a clear understanding of light, and an excitement to improve your photography!

Here is what a couple students had to say about their One-on-One Lighting Class experience with me…

“Victoria is efficient, concise and well thought out with her lesson plan. She took the time to perform a needs assessment months in advance and incorporated all of those items into the session. It was all about my needs and how I'd best learn the material. She put together a blended learning solution that consisted of a student photography critique, coaching, business advice, and application via a live demo of key material and also a hands on student session.

 

This approach will prove fruitful for all learning types: audio, visual and kinesthetic learners. I am a Corporate Trainer / Instructional Designer by day and was impressed with Victoria's natural ability to understand the learning process and breakdown complex information into small, consumable segments. She even took the time to email me follow up information regarding some of the products she recommended for purchase, including the links. The value I took away from this session was priceless. I now have a functional list of priorities to master and complete over the next few months to get me to the next level. I look forward to making this an annual activity and know she will be a solid partner to my success in the years to come.

 

Most people might see this sort of thing as a threat to their success, knowing how competitive wedding photography is, but Victoria was fearless and disclosed her stylistic secrets. She's confident with her abilities and genuinely wants to help like-minded individuals get to the next level. She's humble and will prove valuable to anyone from the novice to the well known professional. I strongly encourage anyone wanting to take their knowledge, skills and abilities to the next level to take a course or coaching session with Victoria. She doesn't miss a detail and you will leave better off than when you walked in." - Heather

"Victoria's class felt like a one and a million opportunity for me. She was so knowledgeable and so kind! I came into her class not knowing anything about on camera flash and when I left I felt like I can definitely tackle this animal. :) One of my favorite parts was how comfortable I felt learning from her. It was a laid back environment and I felt I could ask any questions I had whenever something popped up on top of all the questions she answered that I sent her beforehand! She provided a ton of information on shooting weddings and lighting and also snacks!

 

She made me aware of how difficult lighting is in photography and how she approaches her shoots. It was nice to hear how her brain works when she enters a room during a wedding day. She also included many examples of how she shot certain photos and why. I think that was my favorite part.

 

Thank you again for such a wonderful learning experience. Your knowledge and encouragement has definitely left me with more confidence. :)" - Katie S.
