Rod Soule Studios
About
I am a recently retired photographer of almost 50 years. What excites me most about photography is that even after retirement from the livelihood of it I can still carry on with it. I currently love shooting sports and teaching photography in our local schools. I have a passion for sharing what I know about photography with anyone that will listen.
