PERC is the only photography school with full time photo and video studios! Since we have studios on both US coasts, we practice what we teach.

Our hands-on studio work and editing is especially relevant because it provides us with invaluable experience that we pass along. It makes us knowledgeable about the latest gear, techniques and customer insights. Consequently, we can train you like no other Youtube channel, website, Facebook group, photography school, or camera store can.

We provide the widest variety of photography and videography related programs in the world. Since these are online as well as classroom based, we have students and graduates across the US and the world.

These are our fastest, least expensive, and least time consuming ways to qualify as a professional photographer or videographer.

4worldlovers: We photograph North Carolina. We photograph North Carolina people, their families, their organizations, their businesses, their interests, and their events. We will occasionally cross the border, but we always come home to the Old North State.

Our passion is in photographing people. Our Studio is known for making our clients feel relaxed at a time when most feel anxious. Everyone likes to look their best, especially when others might see them on a wall, in a frame, on a holiday card, or even on their phone and social media. We are experts at lighting and posing, and accomplished in retouching and enhancements. We understand our cameras and settings. In other words, we take great pride in our craft and being experts in it. This passion translates into beautiful photographs of North Carolina people.

We know that if we can photograph people well, we can photograph other things very well. After all, inanimate objects don't have any emotion tied up in self image. Lighting and posing are simple when we photograph products, widgets, homes for our business clients.

What we do, how we do it, and how well we execute, all begins with Natalie. She drives the vision of our Studio.
