History/Background Information
- Established: 1997
- Gta Photography was founded in 1997 when a couple friends asked us, “Do you teach classes?”. “Of Course,” we quickly replied. An intro class was developed over the next month and tailored in a private lesson with just 2 students. They found a new love for photography and we found a new passion for teaching! Over the next two years, the same course was tweaked, revised, and tweaked once more, and it has now become the famous PHOTO 101.

Strategies
- We ensure limited class sizes
- we set up our studio as a living room style and we let you kick back while we do the rest
- we focus on building a community with our students and keeping them within the field, even when classes are over. We do this through photography contests, social gatherings, semi-annual exhibits and online forums.
