Photography for the Painter
- $50/session
This class is set up to be more of an independent study type class. I am open to working with painters to help learn how to take better photographs of their subjects that can be used as reference photos for their work. Subjects such as exposure and depth of field can be reviewed with the camera. I am also open to helping painters learn a little bit about Photoshop to help them bring the colors, shadows, highlights, etc of their reference image to life. This workshop can be built around the needs of the student/group.
Photography: Portfolio Reviews
$65/hour
Are you in need of an outside eye to help you with your photographic images? I have worked with a variety of photography students helping them to develop a portfolio of their work. I have helped students prepare final portfolios for the Palm Springs Photo Festival, graduate school applications, and exhibitions. I have also worked with students during the initial/middle stages of building their portfolios and helped them determine their direction through conversation, writing, and presenting examples of work by other artists. These would be one-on-one sessions that can begin in person and continue via email or Skype.
