I can show
you how.
I was a newspaper photographer for years. Now I shoot on a phone, and I like teaching it.
What I teach
Phone photography. The camera you already carry. Composition, light and timing. You don't need any gear.
Visual storytelling. How a news photographer reads a scene: what the story is, where to stand, when to shoot.
Seeing. This is the part no camera does for you. Learning to notice.
Why me
I worked as a newspaper photojournalist for Gannett, Thomson and ABC Sports. I've taught photojournalism. I was a TA in radio production and web design. I have an M.A. in Journalism from the University of Iowa.
I teach the seeing, not the gear.
Interested?
Find me around town and ask. I'm usually at the lakefront or the library. Say hi →
