    Very thorough, felt like I was comfortable with the basics by the end of the class. The teacher is very friendly and knowledgeable.

    I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto the Art of Intuitive Photography workshops. On a whim I signed up for the Mastering Manual Mode At Night workshop and—wow—it was a win for me. For two hours Ocie guided my learning with thoughtful insights, suggestions for technical improvement, honest critique, and humor as I learned various techniques and strategies to take advantage of nighttime lighting, shadows, reflections, and so on. The two hours seemed to wiz by in a few minutes in the immersive but safe space Ocie created for my learning experience. I am looking forward to exploring other learning opportunities with Art of Intuitive Photography. Check them out if you’re looking to up your photography game.

    Mindy was excellent, she explained everything in detail and allowed us to practice our new skill. But communication from Coursehorse about the exact location of the course was very sketchy. I almost was walking away, thinking that 20 Lincoln Center was the address, but the actual class was outdoors, near the fountain in front of Lincoln Center and the folks at the gate, correctly, had to clue about any photography class. Just before walking away, Mindy sent me a text message and that's how I connected to her. There were no explanations about how the class would be organised, what equipment to bring. Very disorganised.

    Ocie Clelland was perfect for me. Very patient with all my questions and helped me fix my cameras incorrect settings. I would definitely take another class offered for the next level.

    Magda A. • July 13, 2025
    What a great opportunity to learn more about something we all do! I had an excellent experience with Ocie. He answered all of my questions and gave me tips about how and where to take pictures, as well as how to frame them. As a novice, I appreciated the attention and the freedom. I would highly recommend a Walk About and plan to sign up for more!

    I really enjoyed this class! Ocie patiently explained the fundamental concepts of photography, showed me how to use the menus and buttons on my new camera, and offered helpful critiques and exposure tips for the photos I took during the class. After just a few hours, I knew way more than when I started and felt confident to start taking pictures of the world around me.

    The exposure triangle was explained by Ocie in an easy to understand manner, which enabled me to begin to understand it. It finally clicked because I overthought my approach to photography and needed to recognize that there is no formula to photography; however, capturing a particular moment and adjusting the settings in your camera to match what you see is very useful. Make adjustments to the settings based on your own perception of how bright or dark it appears. The concept was simple, but it changed the way I approached my photography skills significantly.

    I had a great time learning how to use the settings on my camera, which had been sitting untouched in my office for 18 months. The class was perfectly tailored to my skill level, and I appreciated the hands-on practice. I learned how to effectively use ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, and took plenty of practice photos along the way. Thank you, Ocie!

    It was very great and immersive class. I learned so much in such a short time with hand on experience. Ocie is awesome! Highly recommend.

    I enjoyed the class. There were only three of us which was nice as it was almost like having a private instructor. The instructor was knowledgeable and presented information well. I got what I was hoping for out of the class. Only down side was the class had to be rescheduled several times, I believe because people cancelled.

    Mindy was a great teacher, very informative and it was great being able to rent a camera so now I know what to buy. The class size was small and intimate, and I am ready to create a booking site LOL

    After wasting time watching explanation videos online, I decided it was time to take an in-person photography lesson. Best decision ever to sign up and attend this class. Mindy is the best! Within 3 hours, we’d covered the basics and got to test what we’d learned. For anyone on the fence about whether this class is worth, it most certainly is. Felt so much more confident shooting in manual mode after this lesson. Looking forward to taking more lessons with them.
