Training & Education:

Empowering the Next Generation of Visual Storytellers

At Angell Photography, our passion extends far beyond the final image; it’s about the entire creative journey. We believe that photography is a powerful tool for communication, storytelling, and self-expression, and we are deeply committed to empowering other photographers to master their craft. Our founder and lead photographer, Troy Angell, is not just a practitioner but a dedicated educator, driven by the philosophy that a strong visual community benefits everyone. Whether you’re a complete beginner taking your first steps into the world of photography or a seasoned professional looking to refine your skills, we offer a comprehensive suite of training programs designed to meet you exactly where you are and guide you toward your full potential.

Our educational philosophy is built on three core pillars: Mentorship, Practice, and Community.

1. The Power of Mentorship: We believe that the most significant leaps in skill come from direct, personalized guidance from an experienced professional. Our training programs, whether one-on-one or in a group setting, are not just about delivering information; they are about providing true mentorship. This means we don't just teach you the "how"; we help you understand the "why," offering personalized feedback, answering your unique questions, and helping you develop the artistic and business instincts that are essential for success.

2. The Importance of Practice: Theory is only as valuable as its practical application. All of our courses and workshops are designed to be highly hands-on, providing you with ample opportunity to put new concepts into practice in real-world scenarios. We want you to build muscle memory, develop your eye, and gain the confidence that comes from repeated, successful execution. Our state-of-the-art studio is a perfect environment for controlled practice, while our on-location sessions prepare you for the unexpected.

3. The Strength of Community: Photography is a journey that’s best shared. Our workshops and classes foster a collaborative and supportive community where you can learn from your peers, share your passion, and build a network that will continue to support you long after the class has ended. We are dedicated to building a vibrant network of skilled photographers in our local area and beyond.

Our commitment to excellence in education is unwavering. Troy Angell is a proud member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), an organization at the forefront of setting industry standards. He has also had the privilege of training under globally recognized industry leaders, including intensive mentorship from headshot master Peter Hurley and world-renowned portrait photographer Ivan Weiss. This continuous professional development ensures that our students are learning the most current, effective, and professional techniques available today.

We offer two distinct learning paths designed to cater to different needs and learning styles:

• Individualized Instruction: For photographers seeking a custom-tailored curriculum and one-on-one attention. This is a private mentorship model, perfect for those with very specific goals, a tight schedule, or a desire for accelerated growth.
• Group Classes & Workshops: For those who thrive in a collaborative environment. These structured courses cover focused topics, providing a social and interactive setting to learn new skills and connect with fellow enthusiasts.

We invite you to explore our training options and embark on a new chapter in your photographic journey. Whether you choose the personalized path of one-on-one instruction or the collective energy of our group workshops, you can be confident that you’re investing in an education that is professional, practical, and designed to help you succeed. Let us help you move from simply taking pictures to truly creating.
