I love teaching
Getting voted Outstanding Photography & Photoshop Instructor of the year at UCLA Extension was a huge honor for me and shows the passion I have for teaching and helping others push themselves in the world of photography.
My philosophy is to have a select few exceptional photography workshops each year in locations around the world that I am deeply familiar with as I prefer quality over quantity.

This exciting road trip will start out from the beautiful city of Florence where we will caravan in large SUV’s to the northern Italian Alps. I have scouted out a perfect itinerary where hiking is kept to a minimum, unlike other workshops, so that we focus on capturing images as often as possible.
