" I'm so glad I attended the recent photo seminar at Eastern State Penitentiary. Each time I take one of your classes I grasp more of what my camera is capable of, and what the scenes demand of the disciplines. What amazed me at the penitentiary was the variety of lighting opportunities, adapting to sudden lighting changes, and the facility was a candy store of subjects. Having you there to walk me through complex staging or settings, it's an amazing experience. Thank you so much! " - Judi C.
Great images are not about the camera they are about the challenge to frame and capture the light and shadows
