About this pro
You want to make better photographs with your phone or digital camera. I love teaching, and learning. We take our time in our sessions. Our focus is on your projects, and improving how you see.
1) Working closely together, we talk about your needs. We design visual projects. You post your work, and I consult on your schedule, giving feedback, coaching, tips and resources. We connect by phone, and on social media.
2) We'll discuss topics of your choice: best gear, lighting, web photography, composition, marketing, web presence, portfolio development, and your unique workflow needs.
3) I enjoy working with students, and have been teaching photography for 25 years. I attend workshops and upgrade my own skills and gear. I'm an Adobe Certified Expert, teach PS and LR, and write for Apogee Photo Magazine.
