I absolutely love to teach, and one of my favorite subjects is street portraiture/photography. Here are some images from the latest workshop.

It was a great honor to be able to spend time with Mary Ellen Mark in Portland this past month. She was an early influence on my approach to subjects, and I am in awe of the depth she establishes with the people she photographs.

Another street photography workshop has been scheduled for April 8-10! Join Quinton and I as we once again hit the Portland streets to create portraiture and editorial images.
Spaces fill up quickly, as we limit the number of participants to keep the class small, so sign up early!
I am hyperventilating here. Just got the scans from the images I took with my 4X5 really old Speed Graphic camera while at the Burnside Skatepark. The camera works! The camera ROCKS!
Stay tuned for an upcoming workshop, using vintage cameras on the streets.
Film.
Love.

Our street photography workshop was a dynamite success! The participants have formed their own group to continue working together on the streets. I love teaching with Luz Gallery owner Quinton Gordon. We are planning several more workshops – some to international destinations – so please let us know if you are interested in taking one. We promise you will have a spirited time on the streets!
I really enjoyed teaching a basic lighting class at Mt Hood Community College this past term. On the last day of class, I asked the students to come to my studio. When they got there, Darcelle, a Portland drag queen icon was there, ready to be photographed. We had a blast! What an amazing subject she is.
I will be teaching another class this March at Newspace Center For Photography. Hotshot portraits is a great way to get your hands into various lighting techniques, all in one day, and not feel intimidated by the equipment! And the latter part of the day will be spent photographing your friends and loved ones.
Sign up soon – we are limiting the class size on this one.
