I very much enjoy sharing my knowledge of photography and filmmaking in both individual/private sessions, in classroom settings and out and about on photo tours in Sarasota, Florida. Helping others expand their creative horizons and open their eyes to the world around them is a real joy. I teach a wide array of subjects that I tailor to whomever I am working with whether it be an individual or a group. For more information or booking please contact me.
