How did you get started teaching?
Many years ago, we taught children that were in the boy and girl scouts program. This was so rewarding to see how young minds view art and how they have the capability to create amazing artwork themselves. Then we were awarded on having one of the top 3 photographic business plans in the U.S. by the Professional Photographers of America and asked to speak to our colleagues about the business side of a photography business.
What types of students have you worked with?
All types from pre-teen to adults with the willing to become a better artist.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We also educate about natural Florida though our non profit - Imagine Our Florida. We go out to events thoughout the state and the excitement on many people that we meet and talk to is fantastic. No matter if we are teaching photography or talking about Florida wildlife and plants, education for all is the key.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look at their work. If you see quality, you should receive a quality education. If you see quanity with not much creativeness (posing, lighting, post production, composition), then you will probably not get much out of your sessions.
