Take better pictures. Create stronger images!
You'll learn about lenses, the elements of composition, textures, and depth of field. Find out about working the scene, or “walking around your subject”, and about photographing people. You'll start to see “good light”, get better sunset images and night shots.
Classes recorded so you wont miss a thing!
You can watch and re-watch the photography class as many times as you like. You’ll also receive a PDF of all the handouts and notes. Share your images from practice assignments to a private forum on each lesson page. Interact with other class students taking the class and learn from each other as well.

My name is Darlene Hildebrandt, I am the face behind Digital Photo Mentor. I have been a professional photographer for over 25 years, and as such have photographed everything from soup to hay—literally—including doing food photography; weddings; family portraits; corporate events and products.
After a forced change of direction (a.k.a. divorce), I left my photography studio behind and moved on to other aspects of photography—including sales, fine art, and travel. I’ve finally landed on teaching and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve written for and have been published on websites and in newspapers around the world, and am currently the Managing Editor of Digital Photography School, one of the most popular sites on the internet.
