Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ishy straightened up the various photographs on her desk and began replacing them back in the respective student’s folders. Her class had been going well and the students seemed excited to refine their photography skills. This made Ishy happy. She even had another student stopping by for a consultation. Glancing up to the clock, she blinked. Time had flown by since her class had let out and the student she was supposed to meet would be there soon. She stood and moved over to where the students stored their folders and other work and began putting away the folders she’d previously organized.

When Ishy heard the door to her classroom open, she glanced over her shoulder, stared for a moment and then glanced up to the clock. Early. Well, that was a good sign at least. “I’ll be with you in a moment. I just need to finish putting these last few folders up.” She gave the chimera a small, friendly smile before turning back to her current task and finishing as quickly as she could. When she was finished, Ishy ran her hands over her dress and moved back towards her desk.

“Good afternoon miss...Mytrax, was it?” Ishy gave her another smile as she sat down and motioned for the chair, on the other side of her desk, that she’d set up for the metting. “Please, have a seat and tell me what you’d like to talk about, hm?”

Ishy gathered the folder, and the photos inside of it, closer to her and studied them as Mytrax spoke. When the young chimera was finished speaking, Ishy glanced up, eyebrow raised. “If you’re interested in improving your photography, my classes would be the best first step. Your pictures aren’t bad and with some practice and proper lessons they’d be great in no time.” She glanced back down to the photographs and tilted her head. “Tell me, why do you want to take pictures like this?”

Ishy blinked at Mytrax’s explanation for her reason on wanting to become better at photography. It was not unheard of for someone to do something like this but it was rare that one would come to a photography teacher to learn more. Usually nightmares wanting to do something like this just taught themselves, as Mytrax had already been doing. it made Ishy a tad proud that the chimera had come to her with questions to begin with. She glanced back down at the photographs, eyeing them carefully before laying them down and looking back up at the girl. “You’re more than welcome to join the class. You seem to already have a basic understanding of how to take a picture. So I can place you in an advanced class and focus more on composition. Though, if you were interested, a couple of classes on editing might also do you well. Just in case a photograph turns out too dark or something.”

Ishy smiled at the younger chimera and nodded. “It’s my pleasure. I’m always happy to help a student out in need, even if photography isn’t their main objected as a career.” She gathered Mytrax’s photographs and placed them back into their folder and then rose. She came around the desk and held the folder out. “And it is always a pleasure to see my passion, photography, used in ways I never imagined possible.” She gave the chimera a small, warm smile. “It would be my pleasure to help you further your skills so that you may further yours and anyone that comes before you.”

Ishy flashed a toothy grin in response to Mytrax’s. A happy mood was always infectious to Ishy and she constantly found herself returning various smiles and grins. She loved to smile — it made her feel good. When the chimera brought up maybe scheduling sessions outside of school, Ishy quickly rummaged through the things on her desk. “Here,” she said as she handed over a business card with Ishy’s home number, school and personal email on it. “Contact me whenever you need to. And we’ll work out any kind of payment as it’s needed.”
