Capturing The Light
About
With 47 years of photography experience, shooting tiny bugs to the moon and everything in between, I take pride in helping others learn how to become a better photographer. I have shot professionally for such clients as Home Depot, Lowe’s, Barton Brewing (Corona beer importer). Long Trail Brewry, Burton (snowboards), Starbucks (corporate), GEICO and a number of resorts and other clients. I will help you learn to shoot children, pets and others, teach you how to make your subjects relax. Helping you understand your equipment and what equipment is worth purchasing and what to avoid. Photography is fun and you will find that it is relaxing and rewarding. I look forward to helping you learn to wow others with your photos! I can also teach you photo editing in Photoshop....
Photography is a very creative, gratifying passion in which you get to capture your vision of reality. Helping someone see life through a photographer's eye, teaching them to maniputlate their camera to capture the vision of their shot that is in their mind is something that will affect their lives in a positive way. Knowing that they will be able to take their visions, captured for eternity, so that future generations see their world as it was at the time is also something that gives me great satisfaction...
