EXPOSED, our monthly critique and workshop series are designed to meet the needs of a diverse photographic community. We offer a wide range of instruction for the beginning photographer exploring the digital medium for the first time, and the professional looking to add to their “tool belt”.  Either in the classroom, on location or during the critique sessions, everyone will find something to take away and apply the next time they are presented with a defining moment or a tough problem in the …

Are you interested in taking better photos? Do you worry about "missing the shot" if you set your DLSR to manual mode? If you love photography but worry about the technical side of things... this is the group for you. My desire in starting this group is to help people understand more about photography skills... framing, aperture, depth of field, shutter speed, ISO, along with all the other mumbo-jumbo terms you've heard. Let's take the fear of what all these terms mean out and focus on the true …

This group is for photographers interested in the craft, practice and execution of better photography. We will be meeting in my studio and on location for photography WORKshops ranging from figure photography, portraiture, product and the natural world. The capitalization in the word WORKshops was intentional. Good photographs require work, they are seldom handed to you on a silver platter. Over many years as a professional commercial photographer it became obvious that if you push yourself just …

… We understand that there are a lot of great photography groups out there (we belong to many of them!), but we're looking to shake things up a bit by offering unique experiences that the others don't. Our goal is to challenge ourselves while we challenge you to try new things and take your passion in a new direction.
