Super Knowledgable Editor

Todd helped get me up to speed on Adobe Premiere Pro, was super knowledgable about all the theory behind editing, and has a really smart POV on filmmaking in general. Would definitely work with Todd again.

Competent and patient

Getting back into photography; I needed some help with new gear and getting re-familiar with the basics. Todd obviously knows his craft and he is also a natural teacher; a rare combination. Great lesson.

What a great guy!

Todd couldn't have been more informative, professional, and helpful. I highly recommend him as a tutor to anyone interested in improving their photographic skills! I'm so glad to have connected with him.
