Are you planing a trip and are concerned about safety for your photographic film? Did you know that you can ask the TSA agent to hand inspect your film?

“David is such an excellent and patient teacher and I would personally recommend his teaching and tutoring services. I was in the States for a short while and sought instruction in using my film camera. David explained how to use the aperture, shutter speed and ISO in simple to understand terms. David is also, an amazing photographer, which gives him exceptional insight into the needs of anyone studying with him…” Chantana W.
"I had no idea where to start with publishing my first e-book, but David walked me through every step with so much patience and clarity. He made a complicated process feel simple, and now my book is live and reaching readers I never thought I’d find. I even was able to order a printed copy with Peecho.com. I couldn’t have done it without his guidance!" – Lina W.
“I am a college studying accounting and am highly interested in photography, photographing weddings as a side gig. I was baffled by Adobe’s Lightroom application. Photoshop too! David explained how Lightroom works. The images, once loaded onto your hard drive, don’t exist inside Lightroom. They reside in a folder on your computer. Naming the folder, with date and client, keeps your images stored, and easy to find. Lightroom simply points to where the folder and images are and then applies your adjustments for exporting. I cannot praise David enough for his straight forward approach to teaching…” Mai Linh S.
"Studying portrait lighting with David is truly a remarkable experience. He not only understands all of the nuances of expression and lighting styles, but also shows how to bring out the best in every image through Photoshop. His ability to connect technical knowledge with creative vision makes the learning process inspiring and practical. I highly recommend him, both as a photographer and as an instructor." – Eric K.
