About
Having been a professional for over 40 years, and international award winning image creator. I am in the unique position to help with all aspects of photography from beginner to very advanced post production techniques.
I teach all over the US and Canada and am a frequent keynote presentor for major photographic conferences.
I can assist in person, at my 13,000 sqft studio or at any number of my workshops around the country, even remotely by computer if students need help with post production.
