"I teach with enthusiasm and passion! Very much a 'hands on' style with a lot of camera handling and encouraged participation. I love wacky analogies, good stories and using images to illustrate ideas.
Most of the courses I teach are focused on learning how to optimize your camera’s functions and knowing when you need to be smarter than your tools. My greatest joy is seeing my students go from being photo takers to becoming image makers."
"After having taken many photography courses elsewhere I still was not comfortable using my flash - I learned more in a few short hours than over months taking other classes.
Thank you for a great course with lots of real life advice"
