Photo Safaris

I am a professional photographer from the Rochester area. I have taught hundreds of people how to take better pictures. I bring a unique perspective to the art of photography. My fresh view of commonplace subjects and an understanding of the local area make my classes a must for anyone who wants to take better pictures.

Have you ever been frustrated because you couldn't get the picture you with your camera that you saw with your eyes? Do you occasionally get a great picture, but have no idea how you did it, and want to know how to do it again?

I will provide a unique opportunity for you understand and get the most from the equipment you already have.

My experience in camera sales has kept me on top of the latest trends in photographic equipment. I am conversant with most makes and models of both film and digital cameras.

What is a Photo Safari?

Safari: a journey or hunting expedition.

The Photo Safari Series is designed to teach photographers to see beyond the ordinary. By practicing special techniques at local, easy to access locations you will move from theory to practice. You will build skills that will serve you well wherever you go.

Knowing how to see is more important than what photographic equipment you own. I will help you learn to see what makes a great picture. You will become a better photographer using the equipment you already have!

Each safari begins with a 30 minutes discussion about techniques and equipment. We will talk about what the goals of the safari are and what ideas to keep in mind when shooting.

Following the discussion we will go to the shoot area and begin looking for subjects. The “Safari Guide” will be with the safari to assist and advise.

After the safari you will process and print your pictures. Then at a follow up meeting you will present your 6 best shots and the 6 you’d like to improve. As a group we will evaluate what makes the “best” good and how to fix the rest.

Photo Safari to the Camera Lab: Focus on how does my camera work?

Why does my camera have all these settings? Why would I use anything other than “Auto”? This is a class that gives you the information about the settings in your camera and what they do. The instructor will explain what the camera is doing and how that relates to the “real” world. You will then have an opportunity to test all your settings in controlled experiments.
