Whether you're a novice or experienced photographer, whether you are a film, digital, or alternative process printmaker, working alongside me will be an invaluable field experience. All aspects of photography are based on a trained observation of light. Photography, at its roots, is capturing light to tell a story and evoke an emotional response. Capturing these moments relies on the bond between you, the subject matter, and the camera in your hand. It relies on your creativity in transforming the scene in front of your camera to the final photograph you hang on your wall. I emphasize this in each of my workshops, catered to each individual's needs. I can lead you in developing a composition, provide you with the technical knowledge to create a proper exposure, develop the exposure either in the analog or digital darkroom, and prepare each photograph for the final print. I will provide all the technical information and support you can ask for in both digital and traditional film processes, while always connecting it to the artistic, expressive, and creative aspects of photography.

I also believe in a lifetime of learning and although the individual instruction may end after a few days, my door is always open for questions and to assist you in developing your own unique photographic vision. 

You’ll encounter deeply incisive photographic reviews of all student work, with the goal of taking you to a higher level technically, artistically, and creatively. This cannot be accomplished without genuine enthusiasm, and you’ll find in all workshops.
