Experienced tutor in Photography in New York, Payam offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

For a long time now I have been meaning to develop my photography skills but had no real idea how. Although online classes and tutorials can be somewhat helpful, I realized that nothing beats having someone teaching you the tools and techniques of the trade in person, especially if that someone is as skilled and talented as Payam. With Payam’s help, I’ve not only developed my skills as a photographer, but I’ve also become a better artist. Beyond teaching the basics of photography like lighting, or what lenses work best in a given situation, he also showed me how to see the world in a whole new light. By working with him and on the challenges he’d assign me, my photography skills have improved by leaps and bounds. He’s incredibly fun to work with and is a great communicator. If you honestly want to grow as a photographer and an artist, or if you just want to learn the basics, then give Payam a call! I cannot recommend him highly enough!!!

Payam truly understands how to construct the best lighting for portraits. He has a very deep knowledge of professional lighting and how to use specific lenses to create the look I want. With Payam, I learned how to properly light a photograph. Photography, after all, is "writing with light". He is also a lot of fun and genuinely cares about people. I learned a lot and most importantly, feel that I have become a better photographer with a deeper understanding of the art and science of pictures.

Payam was super fun to work with and learn from! He is super knowledgeable and helped me understand the questions I had. I now can focus on my creative work and not be held back by my camera. I love working with him and learning from him!
