LESSONS & WORKSHOPS
f/8 Studios owner Michael Farmer is an award-winning and internationally-published photographer. He has been teaching photography techniques and skills since 2008, and is a certified teacher with Lessons.com. He hosts private lessons and workshops at f/8 Studios in Long Beach, California, and can accommodate lessons online via Zoom.
“I am so glad I found Michael at f/8 Studios! He was so patient, and taught me everything I needed to know for my new hobby. He helped me become familiar with my Sony camera and also taught me about different lighting techniques. I would recommend him as a teacher to everyone! ”
Skills you will learn when training with Michael:
in-studio lighting
on location lighting and using natural light
composition
how to take your camera off of the “automatic” setting

interacting with clients
Private lessons are intended for one student at a time. We recommend starting with one hour, and then deciding with Michael from there if more lessons are needed depending on your photography goals.
Pricing for private lessons are $50/hour on weekdays from 10:00am to 5:00pm, and $100/hour on weekdays after 5:00pm and on weekends. Please book your appropriate appointment directly on our website here:
