Three working photographers who teach.
Every Envios Digitales instructor is a working photographer first and a teacher second. That ratio matters — what you learn here is what we use this Saturday on an actual shoot.
Maya Patel
Wedding · Documentary
Indianapolis-based wedding and family photographer. Joined the Envios Digitales roster in 2019. Teaches the Wedding Photography and Street & Documentary courses.
Jordan Brooks
Landscape · Architecture
Former architectural photographer for two Indianapolis design firms. Teaches the Landscape Field Workshop, Long Exposure & Night and Architecture courses.
How we teach
The Envios Digitales method, in three words.
Show
Every concept begins with the instructor demonstrating — live, in the studio or in the field. You see the technique before you try it.
Shoot
You repeat the exercise immediately with the instructor at your shoulder. Most concepts click within ten minutes of hands-on time.
Review
The session ends with structured critique of student frames. We use a specific, kind format that produces real improvement week to week.
