"With over 30 years of professional photography experience, I've had the pleasure of helping countless individuals, from enthusiastic beginners to seasoned professionals, achieve their photography goals. My journey has included owning and operating my own photography training facility in New York State, as well as teaching classes and workshops for photography stores, photo labs, and college adult education programs. I'm equally comfortable in a classroom setting, leading online sessions, or providing one-on-one instruction.

My passion for photography extends beyond just capturing the image. I've taught a wide array of photography techniques, from the fundamentals of camera operation to advanced concepts like studio lighting, off-camera flash, and macro photography. I'm also proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, and can guide you through everything from basic editing to advanced techniques like compositing, color grading, and efficient digital asset management.

Beyond the technical aspects, I believe in fostering a love for photography and helping students develop their own unique vision. Whether you're looking to master the basics or explore more creative avenues, I'm here to provide the support and guidance you need to succeed." less...
