WORKSHOPS
Photography, for me, is not just about making images—it’s about building systems for how images are made.
Workshops are an extension of that practice.
Across classrooms, institutions, and public programs, I translate the same principles that guide my photographic work—light, structure, attention, and interaction—into learning environments that prioritize clarity, participation, and real-world application.
APPROACH
I approach workshops the same way I approach photography:
Build clear systems
Work within real constraints
Prioritize human interaction
Learn by doing
Workshops move quickly from understanding to action.
Participants are not passive—they are actively making, adjusting, and learning in real time.
FORMAT
Workshops are available in multiple formats:
Institutional programs (universities, museums, organizations)
Community-based workshops
1-on-1 and small group intensives
Guest lectures and virtual sessions
Each workshop can be adapted based on:
Experience level
Available equipment
Time constraints
Organizational goals
WORKSHOPS
ANALOG ADVENTURES
Light, Exposure, and Seeing Clearly (90 min / Online or In-Person)
A concept-driven workshop focused on understanding how photographs are actually made.
Participants learn to evaluate light, understand exposure, and make intentional decisions—regardless of camera or format.
Focus Areas
Light: quantity, quality, direction, color
Exposure: ISO, aperture, shutter
Composition and portrait psychology
Best For
Beginners, students, and photographers looking to strengthen fundamentals
Format
Live discussion + visual breakdowns + practical application
THE IMPORTANCE OF EXPOSURE
Headshot Workshop (Phones Only, No Experience Needed)
A practical workshop focused on making strong, usable headshots using only a phone.
Participants learn how small changes in light, posture, and framing shape perception and first impressions.
Focus Areas
Eye contact and expression
Framing and background
Natural light techniques
Best For
Students, early professionals, and organizations supporting career readiness
Format
Interactive + hands-on shooting session
MAGIC MOMENTS
Instant Film Portrait Workshop (Polaroid + Instax Systems)
A hands-on workshop exploring the constraints and possibilities of instant film.
Participants learn how to control what matters—light, environment, and subject—when the camera controls exposure.
Focus Areas
Instant film behavior
Lighting for reliable exposure
Portrait direction and composition
Best For
Film photographers, creatives, and workshop environments
Format
Demonstration + rotating shooting stations
FIVE AND DIME
Studio Portrait Workshop (Film + Lighting Fundamentals, 3 Hours)
A working session focused on studio lighting, portrait fundamentals, and medium format film.
Participants shoot, direct, and process their own black-and-white film.
Focus Areas
Studio lighting (continuous + strobe)
Exposure and metering
Portrait direction
Film development
Best For
Beginner to intermediate photographers ready to move into studio work
Format
Demonstration + extended hands-on shooting + film processing
MIRROR, MIRROR
Black & White Film Portrait Workshop (Small + Medium Format)
A hands-on black and white film portrait workshop focused on learning how to see, light, and direct people with clarity and intention.
All film cameras are welcome, though small and medium format systems are best suited for this workshop.
Rather than separating instruction from practice, the workshop is structured as a continuous loop of demonstration, observation, and making—so learning happens in real time, through direct experience.
Focus Areas
Light as a controllable system
Exposure and focus in black and white film
Portrait direction and visual communication
Learning through repetition and adjustment
Format
Live demonstration + integrated shooting + iterative feedback in a working studio environment
