In the past eleven years I've enjoyed an association with SMU teaching photography classes at the SMU in Plano campus.  In that time over 3,000 students have enjoyed my classes - many coming back time and time again.  

The classes I offer are divided into two categories; Photography Technique and Digital Asset Management.  In addition to the formal classroom offerings, I also provide 1-on-1 training that is tailored to your specific needs.  

Note about pricing:  All pricing is handled by SMU.  Prices included in this website reflect an early-bird discount for enrollment.  Enrollment within 7 days of the event may be slightly higher.  The SMU registration page will have the current and official price.
