Photo Lessons By Essdras

I am a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer who was a full-time newspaper photographer for 20 years. I have over a quarter of a century of experience.

Throughout my career, I was required to become proficient in a myriad of photography genres. Starting with news, portraits, fashion, travel, food, product photography, and everything in between. And I was lucky enough to have received awards and accolades in all of these different genres.

I own a company called EMS Photo Adventures that specializes in creating custom-made photo programs/ workshops/ and speaking engagements for photographers.

However, for the past five years, I have mostly focused on teaching locally, nationally, and abroad. The last year virtually. This has allowed me to further sharping my teaching skills.

I love to spend time with like-minded individuals and I understand how as photographers and creative people, we are ruled by an overwhelming need to create and to find the aesthetic balance in our creations.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to be able to share my experience with others. Plus it's always interesting and humbling at times to see the world from someone else's perspective.
