Teaching Experience

I am available for private photography instruction in New York City.  My teaching experience includes five years as an adjunct photography instructor at Harrington College of Design in Chicago.  After a consultation, I will tailor a lesson plan that best fits the goals of you or your small group.  Here are a few quotes from my students:

“Godman is a great teacher, one of my favorites for sure.  His class was a challenge for me, but I always left feeling inspired to do my assignment, and a little more confident in my abilities.”  Rachel Troxell

“James is one of my former teachers. He’s a wicked good photographer and a really nice man. He always pushed me and sometimes I was like ‘that dick!’ but he never showed complacency in his work and would not allow us to do so either.”   Constance

“James is an extremely considerate and practical instructor that will help you become a better photographer.”   Ricky Kluge

“Another inspiration I have is James Godman, a teacher I have at Harrington, who I met through my studio 111 class.  His work is HIGHLY experimental and I enjoy that he sets himself apart from other photographers with his unique style.  James taught me a lot and has still kept me highly inspired to be as experimental as he is.  I see him as one of my favorite photographers next to Sam Taylor-Wood, who is also very experimental in her own way.”   Majed Aeson

“James Godman was my instructor at Harrington College of Design for two semesters.  His teaching style helped me learn and retain many techniques I don’t think I could have gotten elsewhere.  He purposefully involved me in critiques and his attention to detail inspired me to shoot more creatively.  James is a true artist, and has the heart and skills to share.”   Dan Jones
