A Word From Sam

Photography çlasses Washington DC

Hello, I’m Sam D’Amico.  Thanks for your interest in my photography classes.

I’ve been a professional photographer since the mid-1980s and a professional photography teacher since 1998. My photography classes were voted Best Art Class by the readers of The Washington City Paper in 2018 and 2022.

My approach to teaching photography involves a learning-by-doing process. You’ll learn terminology, camera operation, light, and composition. And to pull it all together, you’ll get hands-on training to work your camera to create the best compositions possible.

Call 202-531-2344 or email sam@samdamico.com, and I’ll do my best to help you be a better photographer.

Teaching and Learning Photography During a Pandemic

“Furthermore, to me, the idea of sitting in a closed conference room with nine people for three hours, with masks, doesn’t seem like a safe thing to do.
And it doesn’t seem comfortable or effective in terms of learning.”
