About Ray
I am a Certified Professional Photographer and have been working as a professional photographer since 1980 so I am "fluent" in both film and digital techniques. I have been a instructor in photography and other business-related courses at the college level so I am also an experienced teacher. Our lessons are tailored to the individual based on their desires, areas of interest and present skill level.
I first began teaching photography as a non credit course at the University of South Florida. I have also taught other adult courses at three different colleges. For me, teaching others is even more satisfying than doing my own photography.
I have studied and qualified for my Certified Professional Photographer degree from the Professional Photographers of America.

First, we need to discuss what the student wants to accomplish - is he or she interested in improving their personal photography skills or are they thinking about starting into photography professionally or semi-professionally?
Next, we find out what experience and photography knowledge the person already has so we can see where to start. We won't bore you with basics you already know or talk over your head with techy topics you don't need yet.
When and how often do you want to meet? Most times we will assign a subject then get back together to see what you came up with.
We will discuss photography concepts and "rules", equipment selection, photo editing software and real-world photo skills.
I have worked with retirees wanting a new hobby, with home school childrens' groups as well as students looking to begin work as professional photographers. I work one on one with my students' areas of interest and skill levels, from beginners to advanced amateurs.
Look for someone who not only has the technical knowledge but who you feel comfortable working with, who listens to what you are interested in.
One of my favorites is doing creative portrait photography with models shooting on location. I have also been selected as a photography contest judge.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are your specific interests? Photography is a very broad field and includes everything from sports to wildlife, landscapes, portraits, and almost anything you can think of. Also, what do you want to accomplish? To be a better family photographer, an advanced amateur or a professional?
