Tomas Mendoza Photography

I just completed Tomas’ photography workshop and I can’t say enough GREAT things about him and his class. He gave me a better understanding of how to use setting on my camera such as f-stop, shutter speed and ISO and in turn the pictures that I am taking of my family have been a million times better. I would recommend that anyone who wants to learn more about their camera and how to improve their pictures take this class! Tomas is a great teacher and you can tell he has a passion for what he is doing. Thanks Tomas!

I’ve been into photography as long as I can remember. Nothing special, just regular point and shoot stuff. I never entirely did it with a sense of art, but mostly just to capture the moments. Eventually I noticed and had comments that my shots were great and were very artful. I eventually started trying more from the artist prospective. I bought my Nikon D80 in 2007 planning on trying to be a tad more “professional” with my photography. I unfortunately didn’t use the camera all that much and still preffered my Canon powershot as it was easier and more compact. About mid-year 2008 I started playing around with my D80 much more and trying to figure out all the settings. I took it with me everywhere on my work travels for opportunities to capture landscapes and people. I could not figure out how to use anything, but full Auto mode. I tried reading some books, but just did not grasp the concept of everything working together (aperture, shutter and ISO). I did some searching for photography classes in the DFW area and got in contact with Tomas Mendoza who had a six-week workshop close to my home. I wasn’t expecting much, but to learn the basics. Tomas astonished me with his knowledge and techniques. I immediately started to understand how the triad (A, S, ISO) each worked and what they specifically did. Ever since taking Tomas’ workshop I have worked pretty much in Manual mode since now understand how to bring everything together for my conception of the perfect shots.

I highly recommend Tomas’ workshop to beginners and even some advanced persons interested in photography. It is a GREAT benefit!

I would suggest that anyone who would like to improve their photographs and better understand their camera take this class.
I now understand f-stop, shutter speed and ISO and I am able to take pictures that look great. My friends and family cannot believe that I am the person taking the pictures because they have a professional quality to them now.
Thomas is a great teacher who is very personable and has a sincere desire to share his love of photography with others. 
You will not be disappointed!
