Online Classes

Tom and Iwanted to help our photographers work on new creative projects from March 2020 – March 2021 during travel restrictions and limited workshop offerings. We offered more than a dozen interactive online classes. Here is what one of our students had to say about her class experience:

“Thanks to both you and Tom for a great series of classes.  I have grown so much over the past year and am so grateful.  I will miss seeing everyone and don’t know what I will do without these sessions to look forward to!  I would never have had the confidence to attend a workshop prior to your classes.   

You both are so talented and generous with your knowledge and sincere interest in helping your students and it so appreciated.   You create a welcoming learning environment through your engagement with your students, it is no surprise your workshops fill quickly. Another bonus has been meeting all the other class participants.  I feel like I am leaving a family.  Thank you for the great experience offered through these Zoom classes and I hope you will consider continuing to hold a few Zoom classes per year in between your travels so we can all stay connected!
