My teaching of nature and landscape photography is distinguished by a holistic approach that combines technical expertise, artistic vision, and a deep reverence for the natural world. I foster a supportive and inclusive learning environment, empowering students to explore their creative potential while developing a solid foundation in technical skills. Beyond the mechanics of photography, I nurture their unique visual voice and storytelling abilities, encouraging a connection between art and nature.
Commitment to Leave it Better
With personalized instruction, practical assignments, and constructive feedback, I guide students on a transformative journey of growth and self-discovery. I emphasize observation, patience, and mindfulness in capturing nature's essence. But what truly sets me apart is my passion for nature and commitment to environmental stewardship. I desire to create and teach photographers how to create images that raise awareness and foster appreciation for our planet.
