Dean Mayo Photography Workshops
About
I started helping people learn in 1992 as a PGA Golf instructor where I taught literally thousands of people. I switched gears as a professional photographer in 2001 when the golf compnay i worked fro went out of business. As a professional photographer I started specializing in golf course photography where I had an eye for bringing out the special aspects of the courses. In 2005 i started showing my work at fine art shows in Southern California. As my experience grew so did my subject matter to where in now includes landscapes of some of the most beautiful areas in the Southwest.
My philosophy as a coach is to help people learn at their own pace. What I found most effective in any aspect of coaching is to help people learn my observing and asking my student questions to help them realize cause and affect. I believe it is through this process that effective learning takes place.
