About Ian
Hello! I am an award winning film, video and still photography professional with over 35 years of experience. My professional career has spanned the television, film/video production and college education fields. I love to share my passion for story telling through the lens, and am known as a patient and conscientious teacher. Students seem to enjoy my hands-on teaching style and find it to be the most effective way to learn their craft.
My fascination with photography and film began as a teen. I enjoy the freedom it provides working in different places and meeting new people. My experiences have provided travel and adventure. I get great satisfaction from sharing my knowledge and experience and feel motivated by students who share my passion. The art of photography did not come naturally to me. I had to learn it the hard way (and still learning). I think this helps make me an effective instructor because I can break down concepts in very practical terms.
I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Journalism degree specializing in radio, TV and film. My career in television and film production spans over 35 years including 20 years at WXIA –TV in Atlanta, 3 years at WTVM in Columbus, GA and 18 years as a freelance director of photography, camera operator, director and producer. Additionally, I created the Television Production Technology program at Chattahoochee Technical College where I developed the curriculum, built the facility and taught and advised students. My awards include 12 Southeast Regional Emmy, 4 Telly, 1 Addy, 1 Iris, and 3 Broadcast Education Association Best of Competition awards for producing, directing, lighting, editing and photography; Rick Perkins award winner as the Technical College System of Georgia’s Teacher of the Year, DTAE Lighthouse award, 2 CTC leadership awards.

It is important to understand that, as in most fields, there are technical and artistic aspects to photography. For example, you can learn how a pencil or word processor technically works, but that does not make you a writer. You need to choose which words to use to craft your story. The same is true with photography and film. A photographer learns how to use the equipment, but he/she also needs to know what pictures to capture to tell a story. I strive to teach both aspects equally.

Ian is a fantastic instructor. As a longtime veteran of the TV/Video production industry, Ian can take the academics of a subject and interpret that into a real-world experience.
His knowledge!!! his perspective, demeanor, and character. One of the BEST!!!
Ian Feinberg has passion for every piece of work he creates, every student he teaches, and the industry in which he thrives - the art of TV and Film Production. There was never a day in which Ian wasn’t ready to enhance another human’s potentials through the art of videography. He’s supportive, kind, and intellectual all wrapped into one amazing human. Years after being under his advisory, his photogenic power still embraces my subconscious when I visualize my own projects and guides my process.
He was an extremely well-rounded and well respected teacher. Calm, collected, and patient with a bunch of eager students that had no idea what they were really doing. Dozens of us owe our careers to him now
I had the privilege of being Mr. Fineberg's student. He is an inexhaustible source of information when it comes to video production. He is one of those people who has the knowledge to guide you through all the phases of production. He is very talented and his passion is contagious. No matter if these are your first steps in the world of video/photography or already have a solid experience, you can always learn something new from him.
Ian is a hands on teacher. He wants the best for his students. Many of his students have graduated and are excelling in their field due to him. I've learned so much from him and am grateful that he was my teacher. I consider him a dear friend.
Working with Ian is always a pleasure. I was always learning and amazed at all the knowledge and experience he was teaching us.
Feinberg is a great intructor! He is very knowledgable in television production. I learned lighting, and field production from him.
His commitment to getting the students a hands on experience. Putting the gear in our hands and sharing his knowledge to train us up. His work ethic was motivating for a young person like myself. He was a great instructor in the sense of spotlighting ones strengths and trying to improve their weakness. I received a well rounded education in a short amount of time at CTC thanks to Ian. The time spent uder his tutelage was one I will always be grateful for.
He is one of the most amazing instructors I ever had the privilege of being around. While he teaches by textbook- and requires certain unimutable tasks be done by that book - he also allows you to accomplish your assigned task in your own unique way. Not may people can blend classroom teaching and hands on instruction quite as adeptly as my friend Ian Feinberg. He is THE BEST OF THE BEST!
Ian is VERY good at explaining techniques and tricks for getting the job done at it's very best. I have held onto almost every document, and revisited it, that he used in class. Ian is willing to let students make a mistake if it teaches them the proper way of doing things. He's more than hands on, but also very willing to give people an opportunity to do things on their own. I owe my success in the industry to Ian... Hands down
He's a good communicator and well organized. He makes sure everyone has what they need as well as keeps things interesting.
I was incredibly grateful for the amount of experience Ian brought with him. From television news to commercial shoots, he's done almost everything and he brings that with him. You really get a truly professional instructor with so much real world knowledge that you almost feel like you've been there and done it yourself.
He has a lot of knowledge in everything relating to video production and has a solid professional career. I learned a lot from him. He cares for his students and pushes them to learn as long as they're motivated. Probably the best instructor I've ever have in my life
You always learn something new when working with him. He teaches through life practices and hands on knowledge.
A great teacher. You will learn everything you need to know, and then some.
Multiple Emmy award winning industry expert with decades of experience. Don't hesitate.I loved working under Ian. He is an endless source or knowledge and passionate about his industry. His teachings gave me the confidence needed to be successful. He is simply the best.
Ian is as knowledgeable as he is supportive. He taught me all I know about lighting, directing, camera operation and so much more. I feel incredibly lucky to have been taught by one of the best.
His knowledge of subject matter and expertise.
Ian is a digital media savant. Photography, video, lighting, editing. He has mastered all these crafts to the point of being able to easily explain each, to students of all levels.
The best ever experience I have had from Ian. I am a better videographer or filmmaker because of Ian. My last documentary film was selected on 5 continents and sent to over 100 film festivals and won some accolades, and all grateful to Ian.
Mr. Feinbetg is always clear and on point with his instructions. All materials presented in structured and easy to understand way. His ability to share his knowledge with other is truly outstanding. Definitely one of the best teachers I’ve ever had!
Ian is one of the best at what he does. Extremely knowledgeable in the TV, Videography/Photography world.
His experience and knowledge is second to none. He has a great way of explaining and conveying his message so that most anyone can understand what he is saying.
I have learned more from him in a short time that I could ever by anyone else.
