    Crystal was great! She took time to show each of us beginners basic features in our cameras in addition to beginning basics of photography itself so that we could move forward on our own after class was completed. She didn?t talk over our heads- was very thorough and helpful.

    This was a great beginner's class and intro for shooting manual on a digital camera. Crystal provided me with a few exercises and practices to be sure I can make nice shots of the actual scene I am seeing.

    First, I want to recognize Instructor Crystal Molina for going above and beyond in securing an alternative location out of the high temperatures, it was greatly appreciated. It was great to learn from a professional photographer who could provide hands-on instruction! Most of us (beginners) were there to learn how to use all of our camera's controls. While I've learned some things from my camera's manual or by trial and error, it was so nice to work with a professional who could fill in my learning gaps and provide a bridge to the next steps in skill acquisition. I will definitely sign up for another class in the future! Thank you!

    This was much better than the previous lesson I took with y'all. Crystal had a plan, started with a lesson giving us new ideas & knowledge to practice with & learn. And throughout got lots of good suggestions & feedback. Stopping after each location to look through each others photos helped a ton too, was super educational, lots clicked in my mind. I walked a way with a significant array of architecture photography techniques I didn't have before. So glad I went.

    Attending a workshop is always an exhilarating experience, especially when it provides an opportunity to connect with fellow photography enthusiasts. The Architecture Photo Workshop, led by Meghna, was no exception in this regard. The camaraderie and exchange of ideas among participants were the highlights of this event. From the outset, I was eager to delve deeper into the nuances of architecture photography, a genre I'm not very familiar with. My expectations centered around gaining insights and techniques for architectural photography. While the workshop excelled in offering discussions with other photographers, it fell short of my expectations in terms of content depth. The sessions leaned more towards a casual meetup rather than an informative workshop on architecture photography. Meghna, the workshop leader, was undoubtedly amiable and supportive. Her approachable demeanor fostered a comfortable and engaging environment. However, when it came to imparting specialized knowledge or advanced tips in architecture photography, the workshop did not quite hit the mark. Reflecting on this experience, I wonder if perhaps my expectations were misaligned with the workshop's intended offering. For those seeking a pleasant gathering to meet and converse with fellow photography enthusiasts, this workshop is a perfect fit. However, for me, looking for learning about architecture photography, this workshop didn't meet my hopes.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Crystal Molina
    I started my photography journey eighteen years ago when my oldest two children, twins, were born. I wanted beautiful pics of my babies but didn't have much of a budget. So I started learning all I possibly could about photography and I fell in love with it. I have done various types of photography. I don't love just one photographic subject but any and all things beautiful. If there's beauty to behold I want to capture it! I don't know it all but will gladly share what I have been blessed to learn.

    Crystal Molina is available for private bookings

    Available for private tutoring, weddings, portraits, and events. Please contact to schedule.

    This photo was a part of the first roll of film I ever shot. I had just gotten my first SLR, and as a zookeeper at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, I thought it would be fun to start with some portraits of all my favorite critters. Scarlet the Red Fox was very curious about the camera and ended being the perfect model. Minolta X-700, expired Kodak Ultramax 400

    I've lived in Spokane almost 15 years and had never visited the Cat Tales Wildlife Rescue in North Spokane. Finally got to visit and this wonderful tiger was posing for me as if I were directing it. I got several wonderful images but really loved this one. Taken with a Fujifilm XT-5, XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 R LM OIS. Post processed with Skylum's Luminar Neo.
