On Teaching

My teaching philosophy is simple… to guide, challenge and inspire you into fulfilling your photographic goals. In doing this I want to help you develop your individual way of seeing… to help you define your own “visual fingerprint”.

What to expect from me…
Honesty, encouragement and frankness. For me, photography is a process of discovery. Not only a discovery of what you select to shoot but how you select to do it. Through critiques and discussions, I will work to try and help you strengthen your style as well as help you increase your sensitivity to light and it’s relationship to color. And, how best to record it.

What I expect of you…
Passion, commitment and a willingness to try new things. A workshop is a brief, intense learning experience. Like anything else, it will only be as good as what you put into it. But if you come prepared to work…. the fun will follow. Stepping out of your comfort zone will only enhance your ability move toward your next step. If all goes as planned by the end of our time together, we should be drained physically and emotionally, but much better for it.
