  • Art and commerce of selecting a workshop teacher

    (Disclaimer, I am a workshop teacher as well as a veteran professional photographer)

    I am a professional photographer. I am VERY proud of the fact that I make my living through my photography. I have been lucky in that most people who pay to use my work appreciate the skills it took me decades to master. I have, over time, expanded my repertoire to include workshop teaching. Over a period of years I have been working to master and excel in  the process of helping others get better at their photography. As I have been doing this, I have been reminded again and again, that teaching is like any other skill: It involves practice and takes decades to fully master.  Also, much like publication photography itself, the world of photography workshops is being flooded with people who have little or no skill as educators.

  • The top ten things photo workshop attendees need know and do

    I just finished a couple workshops in two very different places. I have found that whether I am teaching in places as far away as Greece or as nearby as Cape Cod, certain things are the same in all workshops. I was going to call this “ten commandments for those attending photography workshops,” buy I thought that such a title might be misconstrued as religious in nature.
