Hands-on photography education for beginners, creators, and aspiring professionals who want clear instruction, real feedback, and a practical path toward better images.
Photography Classes by 360ism was created for people who are tired of guessing their way through photography. The program is built around clear explanation, hands-on practice, and real-world instruction that helps students understand their camera, lighting, composition, and creative process.
The classes are based through 360ism Studios in Richmond, Virginia, but the education brand is designed to grow into additional locations, special workshops, and traveling training experiences.
Daring Leaderman is the founder of 360ism Studios and the lead instructor behind Photography Classes by 360ism. He brings more than 20 years of experience in photography, video production, visual storytelling, studio lighting, glamour photography, portrait work, and creative direction.
His teaching style is practical, direct, and hands-on. Students are not just told what settings mean — they are shown how those settings affect the image, how light changes the result, and how to make better creative decisions behind the camera.
The mission is simple: help beginners and aspiring photographers stop guessing and start creating with confidence.
