FAQ

A - No, 90% of photography is about where you stand, your timing, and what you exclude from the photo. + even point and shoot cameras have a ton of features most owners don't know how to use.

Q - What should i do to prepare for one of your photography workshops?

A - You should get familiar with your camera & you should write down a list of questions.
