About this pro
I believe it's easier to learn while doing. We can go to a location and take photographs, and teach you about your camera.
I will teach you tips on taking better photographs, how to compose a shot, go over lighting, action, landscapes, portaits, low light, and photos in any situation. I have been a photographer for over 20 years, and hold a degree in Art with a major in Photography from Salem State. I also studied at RIT. I know all formats. Let's go out and take photos! On location lessons.
For my own work, I hang my work and sell it currently. I am also on the Fine Art Committee for the Topsfield Fair, and am a member in the Salem Art Association, the Peabody Art Association and the Danvers Art Association where I do the website, facebook and instagram.
There is something photo worthy everywhere you go, you just need to see things a little differently, and be able to gauge what will make a great photograph. I can help you do that.
Having a camera in my hand is natural, and I love it.

Jeannine was great with my 13 year old daughter:) My daughter enjoyed learning new photography tips while walking around Endicott Park in Danvers.
