About
As a photographer, filmmaker, tennis coach, and editing pro, I want my students to experience an exciting world where their skills and creativity truly shine. Whether it's capturing bold, vibrant photos, crafting dynamic film scenes, mastering perfect lighting, or nailing a tennis serve, I’m here to help them bring their ideas to life. My photography and film work make viewers feel like they're part of a story, full of bold colors and cool vibes. That’s exactly what I teach my students—how to turn their creative visions into reality. And guess what? Practice makes perfect, so we’ll be working on these skills every single day, pushing ourselves to get better with each session!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start with a phone call to get a feel for the student’s level and preferences. We’ll discuss availability, location, and, most importantly, whether the student is willing to travel. Whether it’s photography, tennis, film, or Adobe editing, understanding the student’s goals is key. For photography students, I’ll also ask if they use Nikon, Canon, or Sony equipment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve built my expertise through years of hands-on experience in multiple fields. In photography, I’ve mastered professional equipment and techniques. For tennis, I have competitive playing experience. When it comes to film and lighting, I’ve worked on various projects that require precision in setup and post-production. Adobe editing is a crucial part of my workflow, and I have years of practice fine-tuning my editing skills.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
While I can’t mention specific dollar amounts here, I offer flexible pricing depending on whether it’s for photography, tennis, film, lighting, or Adobe editing. Reach out for a customized quote based on your needs!
How did you get started teaching?
Teaching came naturally to me after years of helping others—whether that’s showing a friend how to improve their tennis serve, setting up perfect lighting for a shoot, or walking someone through complex edits in Adobe software. I discovered that I enjoy breaking down concepts and guiding people to success.
What types of students have you worked with?
I’ve worked with a diverse group of students, from photography newbies and aspiring filmmakers to tennis enthusiasts and those wanting to master Adobe editing. My students range from high school and college students to adults eager to learn a new skill.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently conducted a joint film and lighting workshop. We filmed a short piece outdoors, working on scene composition and lighting setup. The best part was seeing how much my students' confidence grew as they learned to control lighting and camera angles like pros.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone who not only has expertise but is genuinely passionate about teaching. Whether it’s improving your tennis game, mastering Adobe editing, or learning about lighting setups, your teacher should make the process enjoyable and inspiring.
