LEARN
Welcome to my learning and education page. I’ve picked up a few bits of knowledge in over three decades of being involved in photography and I created this space to share what I have learned. Below you will find information on my in-person workshops as well as a listing of articles, reviews, and tutorials on various aspects of photography.
In-Person Workshops
Come join me for an afternoon of hands-on learning with studio strobes and light modifiers. In this workshop, I will explain and demonstrate how to use studio strobes as well as discuss the differences between using flash and continuous light. Another aspect to this is understanding the difference between using studio flash in manual mode versus TTL, and why you would want to avoid the latter.

In this two-hour workshop, we will go out to the streets of the city center here in Valencia. We will go searching for the beautiful available light that occurs on the streets and alleys here. You will learn how to use backlghting and make use of reflected light from walls and windows for a “main light”. You’ll discover you don’t need to bring a reflector or other fill light to get great images, even in the middle of the day.
Details and dates coming soon!
Creating a connection to your subject is the key to creating an engaging and attractive image. This is as important, if not more so, than the technical aspects of lighting and camera settings. Tethered shooting during a session is one of the best tools the headshot photographer has at their disposal. Having the subject able to view the images as they’re captured brings them into the process. You and the client end up working together as a team to create that “best shot”.
