About
I cover all spectrums of photography from the sea to the sky (diving, aerial and surface photography)
I'm very passionate about composing my images and often find myself walking into the landscape to capture portions of the grandeur that made me stop to look in the first place. I love little surprises.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I take them out with their camera and find out what they know about the equipment. Then, we address concerns, solve questions and apply techniques. Understanding how their camera sees is essential to making a good photograph. I teach them how to evaluate the composition as well as how to potentially market their image. Exposure is key to the success or failure of an image and I will go through the steps needed to create that perfect exposure given the highlights and shadows the photographer will have to capture effectively. Finally, I explain why having a theme sells the image and how best to present the subject in the image.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 50 years behind the lens and have won numerous awards as well as being published in numerous countries.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$20/person/per outing.
How did you get started teaching?
