About Jim
With over 40 years of photography experience, having traveled a good part of the world, and now with Photography being my full-time profession, I bring my experience shooting several genres from award winning landscapes, well published fashion, art and portrait photography along with my unique studio lighting methods and deep understanding of both the science and art of photography (and videography) to you in tutoring sessions custom designed for your learning needs.

For me, it’s all about that empowering moment of the reveal when your client rediscovers her beauty through boudoir, the family delights at the large portrait print, or the client thanks you for the successful ad campaign. I love to see the results when my tutoring students begin to share what they've learned and I can see their progress. Photography is a journey, we each have our own path, but we do walk a few steps together and lend a hand.
I've always enjoyed sharing what I discover. I have been a guest lecturer at two major Universities in the areas of Information Technology, Big Brother and other volunteer opportunities, and support worthy causes like the American Diabetes Association. Now, besides tutoring, I host Photographers' Workshops at my studio every other week and teach formal classroom courses on photography at a contemporary art museum.

First, I seek to understand what they would like to explore. What facets of photography or videography they're struggling with, or want to branch out into. Sometimes it's a creative element, such as lighting, composition or editing techniques. Others are looking to better understand technologies and tools. Either way, I customize the sessions to each student.
I've worked with middle through high school students, career professionals, retired individuals, ESL students, and special needs kids.
I believe that practicing photography is a constant journey, not a skill that can be "Mastered". We are all on our own path, so walking a few steps with someone who is familiar with the terrain can help avoid pitfalls and pick up your pace.
I am most proud of my work with non-profits. They range from national organizations like the American Diabetes Association to local charities and organizations serving specific communities and their needs. I love creating visual stories that help spread their vision and mission, grow their volunteer corps, and loosen the purse strings of potential donors and sponsor.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do you have specific photographic goals (genres?) that you are gravitating toward. Are you interested in exploring other genres as well?

Details
Usually $60/hour in-studio or via Skype. Mileage extra if you'd like me to come to you, and a small additional fee for evenings and weekends. I also have bundle pricing if you'd like to purchase a block of sessions and save a few pennies.
I also offer a premium service where I bring in live models to learn posing for portraiture and boudoir. I only quote those after building a learning plan with the student.
