Real photography education from a working professional.
A division of Giliane E Mansfeldt Photography, LLC
You don’t need another YouTube tutorial.
You need someone who’s actually been there.
Maybe you just got a new camera and it’s sitting in auto mode because nobody explained what all those dials actually do. Or maybe you’ve been shooting for a while and you’re starting to wonder if this could be more than a hobby — and you don’t know where to start.
Either way, you’re in the right place.
I’m Giliane. I’ve been a professional photographer for over 25 years. I still shoot. I still run a studio. And I teach what I actually do — not a watered down version of it, not a generic course built for the masses. Real education built around where you are right now and where you want to go.
No fluff. No filler. Just the stuff I wish somebody had told me when I was starting out.

Want someone in your corner?
This is where I do my best work. One on one, completely personalized to your camera, your goals, and where you are right now. No cookie cutter curriculum. No recording you watch alone at midnight wondering if you’re doing it right.
Just you, me, Google Meet, and the kind of honest conversation that actually moves you forward.
If you’re serious about learning photography — or turning it into a business — this is the fastest way to get there.
