  • Teaching [+/–]

    I have taught all levels of photography from beginning and intermediate, to classes specialized in creative studio-work and advanced seminars at Fordham University, SVA, Sarah Laurence, Cooper Union, ICP and the Yale, Norfolk Summer Program. I have also taught at the graduate level at Yale University and at the Bard Summer program. My working skills incorporate view camera photography; digital editing, 3-D modeling and studio based sculptural construction. Because of this, I have a working familiarity with 2-D design, collage, digital photography and digital-darkroom and retouching techniques. I have taught these subjects at Fordham and Sarah Laurence where I designed Intro photography as a digital class.
