I am gearing up (literally) for a two day presentation at B&H Photo in NYC May 30-31.  This will be my fourth time to speak at B&H and I am really excited this time to talk more about being a creative artist.  With so many Youtube videos out there, anyone can learn the technical skills in photography.  But,  how often do you get inspired to find the creative artist inside?  Search for that on Youtube and see what comes up...

My unique approach to photography goes beyond the technical.  I use certain pieces of gear to create my style and I have a few secrets to make anyone your model.   There is a creative artist inside all of us and I help inspire others to bring out that artistry. 

After B&H I have a two day Lightenupandshoot Workshop in NYC June 1-2.  The cost is $600 and there are a few spots left.  You can sign up here or email me you like to reserve your spot.  What will be covered?  Watch the following video if you want a glimpse of what it might be like.  Or click here to sign up and read details.

What are waiting for????   Sign up for NYC or email me about California, South America and Europe.  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
