Master Photographer and Educator Jared Platt
Photographer, Educator, Mentor
he problem with many photography workshops today is that they involve eager students standing by and watching a master photographer shoot. This is not the way to learn. Students must get their hands dirty and make mistakes. These essential mistakes should not be made on the job. The best place to make them is in a safe environment with a master teacher watching over and guiding you past your mistakes and ultimately on to success.
That’s why I use the Socratic method to teach a photographic workshop. I present the concepts, demonstrate skills, and then put my students in the driver’s seat to practice those skills. I am there all the while, deeply attentive to my student’s experience, asking and answering the questions that I know from experience will bring understanding and growth.
As a teacher and educator of almost twenty years, I know the value of hands-on learning.
I am putting my talent, creativity, and expertise to the task of crafting an amazing learning experience. I am passionate about teaching and I can’t wait to meet you and work together with you to develop your photography skills.
“One learns by doing a thing; for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try.”
