About
Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”― Pablo Picasso
When I teach an aspect of photography I like to show my students not only what you can do with it but why. if you understand it you will never forget it.
I love everything about it. No two pictures are alike and each photo is a different challenge. I have been taking pictures since 2001 and each experience is never the same. this eliminates the monotony factor and brings a constant curiosity to the table

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to start with the basics. how does light work and how does the camera capture it. What are the camera and each element such as F/stop, shutter speed, lens angle...etc. After mastering each aspect we move on to composition and photographic technics that we can use to our advantage.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
For my Education, I have a B.A in film and television. Although this does not directly imply photography. Photographic technics and light are the base of film and movies that we see today. Any good cinematographer is a great photographer.
For real-life experience, I have had multiple photographic jobs as well as photo editing.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with all students. Keep in mind this is a skill that will require a camera. Although not at the beginning of the course as we progress a camera is necessary. But any camera will do! (Even the most simple).
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Taking Pictures! Anywhere can be a fun event to take great pictures.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
if you are not sure, ask questions. the more you ask the more the answer becomes clear. Ask about his method of teaching and what type of pictures he takes, Landscapes, night photography, model photography or maybe he does all types.
