The Creative Photo Academy is for photographers of all ages, skills, and interest levels. We are a family owned and operated business led by Mark Comon of Paul's Photo in Torrance, California.

Our instructors are world-renowned educators, photographers, and writers who have traveled the globe and published photos, books, and videos covering every topic in photography. Our classes range from Beginner level to advanced, and we offer a variety of different class formats: two hour sessions, more in-depth & hands-on workshops, day trips, bus tours, photo shoots, and out-of-state (sometimes out-of-country!) photo adventure trips.
