Experienced tutor in Photography in Orlando, Michael offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Learned so much, from beginning to operate a DSLR to composition and lighting/metering to portraiture. And the best thing is he encourages individuality and makes your kind of photography better rather than trying to make you adhere to “rules.” PLUS, he’s ALWAYS willing to help out past students.

Michael is a great teacher/mentor!! The classes I took with him helped me think outside the box and instill the confidence I needed!

Took two Classes from Micheal. The first was really the basics and the second was finally exploring what the camera really did!!!
Michael teaches how to develop your personal style in a no pressure space. Super knowledgeable, vast amounts of experience, and most importantly, willing to teach!!
Definitely recommend taking ALL his classes, jump in and don’t stop at one.

Michael was very knowledgeable and patient with beginners. Totally enjoyed his courses.

The classes were well organized and very helpful. Michael van Gelder's enthusiasm for photography led to my personal passion for capturing the world around me through the camera's lens. He has been a great instructor and mentor and it has been a pleasure to learn from him.
