Teaching: Light - Lighting - Lightroom

 

According to my great grandmother, my very first word, uttered while being pushed by her in a cart through a cold winter night in Germany, was "Licht" (light). Apparently we had just passed a street lantern after a longer path of semi-darkness. To this day, I am excited about light, natural and "man-made".

Teaching for me is not only a great way to give back to the community, I also enjoy it a lot and learn through it. I currently teach studio lighting regularly in seminars and workshops to fellow professional and aspiring photographers. The emphasis is on lighting for portraiture, although I've also found great pleasure in lighting small objects. More recently I have started teaching photographic workflow and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

I also teach Digital Photography (weekly evening sessions) and Studio Lighting (weekend workshop) at the University of California Craft Center. Please refer to their catalog for upcoming sessions.
