Testimonials
Alix Lopez
I took this class with my teenage son and we got so much more than what we bargained for. On top of the excellent photography skills breakdown and instruction—Joseph’s take on directing and putting your client at ease has opened up in-depth conversations about the roles we play and finding work that fuels you. While our youth are facing uncertain futures with the impact of AI and not knowing what jobs will even be available to them when they come of age, Joseph is really teaching a masterclass on observation and human connection. Invaluable.

Joseph Hernandez is in the process of putting together a professional Photography and Videography Training Series unlike any of the other local or online courses available to the general public here in Bakersfield. What stands out most to me is the “hands on” experience, which has been hard to find anywhere else locally. I highly recommend this school, whether you are a beginner, a seasoned picture taker or a video creator. You’ll find Joe oο¬ers in- depth nuggets as he shares literally everything he has learned in his 22-plus years as owner of InMotionPro Studios in Bakersfield. Pete Yackley, Bakersfield, CA
