About D J
I have been working in digital media and the arts since 1989, Photoshop since 1990, and Lightroom since 2006 (when it was in beta), and photography since 2005. My work has always comprised a balance of artistic and technical skills. Throughout my career, I have been responsible for bridging the gap between the two for the benefit of clients and associates; I can translate freely between the languages of both sides. I can help you move from point-and-shoot to taking more creative and exacting control with your camera, and move from simply auto-enhancing your photos to turning them into the image you envisioned when you pressed the shutter, using Photoshop and Lightroom. I'll reduce the overwhelm associated with these applications, and help you focus on the tools you need to get the results you want. I am a native user to both MacOS (since 1984) and Windows systems (since 1991). Adobe Illustrator since 1987. Adobe Lightroom since 2006. I have been using Photoshop since 1990, when it was first released, as a tool for photographic enhancement and retouching, as a digital darkroom, for graphic design, interactive media design, web element creation, logo and brand design, compositing, special effects, presentation decks, and more. I am available for most topics around photography, whether digital- or film-based, from how to use your SLR to lighting for a studio shoot, to processing and enhancing your photos. I will create a lesson based on the topics you wish to cover, focusing on exactly what you want to know. My style is direct, to the point, in a manner you can understand, and based on your experience. Please contact me to discuss your topics of interest. Thanks!

I've been involved in photography since 2005, experienced in both film and digital techniques. I am quite comfortable in both the real darkroom and in digital, and my post-production flow reflects how I worked in film.
I have experience with film and digital SLRs, medium-format, and mirrorless cameras, studio and natural lighting, and working with models. My goal is to get the shot before the shutter button is pressed, and I teach others to have patience and do the same.
I've done fashion, product, portraiture, and food photography, commercial projects, event coverage, weddings and engagements, figure studies, and art photography.
In terms of post-production, I have extensive Photoshop and Lightroom experience, and know how to organize, adjust, and retouch a job quickly and effectively.
I work with absolute beginners and experienced shooters. I can help you get familiar with a new camera or help you improve your techniques. I'm available to work with you in-person and remotely, using most any photography gear you have. I'm also happy to make recommendations for products that will enhance your photography experience.
