I have been teaching in one form or another for 45 years, and my colleagues and I have always sought to make easier what we found difficult.
In 2007 I could find no-one in this part of the world prepared to teach digital photography and printing. So I travelled to Wales to spend time with the master photographer Allen Lloyd, and later John Paul Caponigro in the US.
I aim to help photographers realise their potential and give them resources and tools they can take away and use immediately in their work.
