Photography and astrophotography have taken over as the number one hobbies at this time and I have a huge passion to share what I have learned with others.
Several of my photographs have been shown on national television and I have had portfolios featured in various magazines.
As an international speaker on Astrophotography I deliver talks to various audiences from dedicated astro/photo societies to other clubs as general outreach including schools. Please contact me for further details.
I am currently providing tuition both 1:1 and 1:group in both photography and astrophotography. I am also available to cover corporate events and photo assignments.
All of my photographs are for sale internationally – please contact me for prices including usage rights.
