Private Workshops
These are for hands-on learning of shooting, lighting or editing that special project. We can schedule for a location session or in studio for the best possible results and real world experience. It’s a great time to get some trigger time learning about your gear or experimenting with a new techniques. We can cover any topics you need to work on. Most shooters just need a two-hour boost to better understand their gear or hone a technique. The six hour private can be divided between a small group of like minded photographers. Don’t get lost in the crowd of a huge convention workshop, book your own workshop and learn what you need to succeed. Workshops begin at $350 and are tailored to your specific needs.
Video Consultations
These sessions are perfect when face to face is not convenient. Using Zoom, Google HangOut, or Skype we are still face to face (virtually) can work through many issues from lighting, portfolio reviews, business advice or whenever questions you need resolved to reach the next step. We can even share screens to review images, plan a project or discuss a new photography direction. Consultations begin at $100 for the first hour with plans/rates tailored to your requirements.

CAPTURE
Switching to the Fujifilm GFX/X system has given me more freedom to create and express my views with their fabulous color science, sharp glass and camera bodies that just beg to be used daily. Durable, lightweight and fast - Never miss an image!
The X-Pro3 travels with me daily. The X-T3/4 are the workhorses with the GFX 50R for personal projects.

ILLUMINATE
Photography is all about the light so why not start with a system that grows with you. The Westcott FJ series of flash units work with a universal trigger and cover your power needs. The full lineup of modifiers and tested and used by top photographers around the world. My personal favorite is the FJ200 for it’s portability and dependability. It travels well and the size of a Pringles can!

CARRY
Everyone knows I love camera bags. I have over 40 bags but when I discovered the Wandrd line of backpacks, I was hooked. I’m quickly replacing older carry systems with these amazing kits. I’ve traveled with the PRVKE 31L and the HEXAD Duffle. Try them for your next adventure! Your gear will thank you.
