About Michael


Bio

I love everything about the artistic process! I am a visualist with a marketing eye and a passion for photography, video production and graphic design! I am a creative director who loves to teach and I believe in hands on learning, showing examples and getting the student to research the process for themselves so I can be assured they are truly understanding the principles.

Although my roots are in fashion design and fashion photography, the skills I have learned over the last 30 years...

I love everything about the artistic process! I am a visualist with a marketing eye and a passion for photography, video production and graphic design! I am a creative director who loves to teach and I believe in hands on learning, showing examples and getting the student to research the process for themselves so I can be assured they are truly understanding the principles.

Although my roots are in fashion design and fashion photography, the skills I have learned over the last 30 years have given me a depth of experience in product and marketing photography and then as a graphic designer and how to take those images to print and the web.

I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Premiere which are all great tools for making your artistic vision come to life. I am an internationally published and award winning photographer with a specialty in lighting and off-camera lighting for photography and lighting and staging for video production.

Although I am new to Wyzant, I have been training people in photography and technical production for 20+ years...many of those years as the media / technical / creative director for several churches.

I am also an entrepreneur so most of those years were also spent creating marketing imagery for our product lines.

Regardless of whether you’re a seasoned photographer / videographer or just starting out or are at any point of the process of any of the above programs, I would love to use my real world skills and passion for teaching to help you discover the visual artist in you!

Approved Subjects

Art

Adobe Lightroom,

Adobe Lightroom

Lightroom has become such an important program to most photographers who are looking to take their photography interest to the next level. I now use Adobe Lightroom for about 80% of my work on a photograph. It can do almost everything that is needed for most of my photography work and it integrates so beautifully with Adobe Photoshop. I think it is a program that every photographer should be skilled for organizing and streamlining their photography workflow.
Photography,

Photography

I am an internationally published, award winning photographer with 30+ years experience in fashion, product, presentation and marketing photography. All of those require not only a solid foundation in photography technical skills but also a keen artistic eye. A photograph has to be not only technically well executed but also artistically framed so that it has artistic and marketing appeal. Two of my specialties that are not known by most photographers are off-camera lighting and High Speed Sync lighting for dramatic sports, dance and action motion capture. I love teaching and helping others to love and appreciate the process as much as I do. I am continually learning because tools for creation and presentation are changing so rapidly.
Video Production,

Video Production

As a person with a passion for technology and for telling a story, video production/creation was a natural fit. For over 20 years I have been a creative director and using that passion for producing people, product and marketing videos. When you combine that with my love for teaching / coaching (my teaching style) then you end up with the best of both worlds. I love watching the creation process come alive in students as they learn how to apply the technology to the artistic vision they have in their head.
