I focus on what photographers actually do and struggle with day to day, rather than just abstract theory. My education strategy is built around real-world practice, community, and approachable guidance instead of rigid, academic structures.
- I emphasize doing: photowalks, breaking down real images, and applying concepts immediately
- I connect learning to community: in-person events, conversations in hallways, and networking at shows like Imaging USA or WPPI
- I draw inspiration from broader visual storytelling (movies, TV shows, other photographers) so you see how ideas translate into your own work
- I keep the teaching style practical, jargon-light, and honest about what works in real client and creative situations
What’s the main thing you feel traditional photography education hasn’t given you yet?
