How would you describe your approach to
teaching?
I put myself in the position of the learner, I try to provide clear
and direct guidance to allow students to build their own
understanding and apply it to their own work.
What inspires your own work?
I consider myself a portrait photographer primarily. I seek beauty
and simplicity within my image making processes, making use of
shape, symmetry and technical excellence to inform my own brand of
aesthetics.
