About Joe
I am a commercial photographer with 40+ years of experience. I have taught courses in photography including - Basic Photography, Advanced Photography, Photographing People, Learning to See Creativly, Photography Lighting, Photojournalism, Introduction to Lightroom/Photoshop. Since 1999 I have worked with students in college classrooms and in private one-on-one lessons and ages from 17 to 80+. Let me know what your goals are; I have many lessons/assignments already created and can custom design lessons to fit your needs and match your current experience.

When I was young my mother encouraged me to draw and be creative artistically. In highschool and part of college I thought I might become an artist or illustrator and even found a mentor to that end. However, while I was living in Washington, DC for a year and a half and after that in Nicosia, Cyprus I became very interested in photography. From that beginning I worked in and traveled for a photofinishing lab that serviced professional photographers and later started my own business. Photography is both a passion and a career for me, and I continue to love it. Certainly I want to help others cultivate their ability and create images they are proud of.

Joe took the time to explain all the different features on my camera and how to use them. During the classes, he also allowed us to share our experiences with different techniques, thus therefore learning from others and then adding his feedback on how to improve. Joe's classes are so much fun, informational and were defenitley worth my time. Looking forward to my next class and would higly recommend any classes with Joe Ownbey.
I have taken 4 classes with Joe and there are so many reasons I keep coming back to him. Joe has really takes the time to create a personal relationship with his students to ensure they are getting the most from his class. Joe has so much knowledge and teaches to each individuals learning ability. He truly cares and is passionate about what he is doing so in turn that excitement is a ripple effect. He is wants to see you be successful.
By taking his classes, I'm still able to pursue what I love, be knowledgeable and I've also forged a good friendship with Joe and can rely on him with questions and direction when needed.I enjoyed each of the classes I took under the guidance of Joe Ownbey. He made the experience fun and rewarding. I'm a much better photographer today thanks to Mr. Ownbey.
There is one major flaw with your rating system. The only way to get close to rating this photographer / instructor is if you had "infinity star rating". Joe Ownbey is an AMAZING, Kind, passionate instructor who breaks complex lessons into fun and easy to understand skills to learn. He goes above and beyond what is required for his students, often meeting them outside the classroom for smaller group or individual additional help when needed. He is very versed in so many areas of photography as well that he really brings so many potential avenues for his students to learn. I have taken several classes from him and my only dismay is my personal finaces of not being able to afford unlimited classes or I would be in one of his classes every day. Joe offers such a wide experience base to learn from I have no plans to ever go to another instructor. Joe Ownbey truely is the VERY BEST!!!!
Joe is a seasoned professional who is expert at passing on practical advice to his students.
He never harshly criticized, instead he worked with you to improve your photo. He had a lot of patience and would keep you on track. I have had five classes with him, from beginners to Photoshop, and have learned much. And he's always available by phone or in person to help and answer questions.
His work and the way he talks about photography.
Joe is a master photographer who has been teaching and training other photographers for decades. He has a gift for clarifying complex technical details of sophisticated cameras into results a student can be proud of.
