Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up for a class?
Signing up for a class is very easy. Simply call JS photography to sign up for a class. Phone (352) 372-4462. Once you have enrolled all you have to do is show up for the class at the scheduled date and time. If you have questions you can always call us.

How old do I have to be?
Students must be 14 years old and some maturity is required. Students under 18 must have an enrolled guardian in the same class.

Are payments refundable?
All payments and sales are final. All cancellations must be done via email, from the email address you registered with.

Do you offer Youth classes?
Our classes are based on skill level rather than age, however we will be offering specific age-targeted classes in the near future.

I don't see the topic I want to study, how can I learn it?
We will create classes based on student interest. Please let us know what you would like to learn and we can create a class. If enough people sign up we can teach it. However, if you are not willing to wait we have 1-on-1 tutoring sessions available for that purpose.

Do I have access to help from an instructor in between classes?
You can email your instructor from the first to the last day of classes. After the last class you must be a member to access help. If there is a subject that you would like to learn more about, simply ask and we will do our best to fit it into the class schedule, or we will create a workshop if demand is high enough.

Why would we tell our secrets to aspiring competitors?
The first and most important aspect of this topic is that our clients come to us for an original work of art that no one else can provide, our personal vision. We also know that we would not be where we are today without some of the very important professors and professional Master photographers who willingly shared their secrets with us. We find enjoyment in passing knowledge on to other photo enthusiasts!

Can I open my own business after taking your classes?
After taking our classes you will know the basic camera and photoshop functions in photography. Becoming a real profitable photographer takes many years and you will still need to mentor with a professional to learn all the behind the scenes of the business of photography. If you are truly interested in becoming a successful professional you will need at least 3 years of intense study under a Degreed Photographer that is highly successful before you should make a go at this business. Photography is a very fun and easy to get involved with. However, being a profesional photographer is way more involving than just having a nice camera and calling yourself a professional.
