TREY

I've attended more than my share of photography workshops, but never have I had more fun than when learning and shooting with Ray. Most instructors can teach you the technical aspects of shooting, but Ray does it in an easily relatable and understandable way. His practical approach to lighting and composing makes for an easier, more enjoyable shooting. Ray's are the only workshops where I not only left a better photographer, I left a better person too"

SHELLY

Ray has helped me turn my passion into a profitable business. Not only have my images improved in just a few months but I am no longer killing myself editing hundreds of digital images. Ray has empowered me to take charge of my business and transition to a more sustainable business model. He continues to push me beyond my comfort zone and thus I have experienced tremendous growth in all aspects of my photography.

ED

I have a very large collection of photography books that I have accumulated over the years and I have avidly read most of them. I have watched countless online videos and graduated from an online/correspondence school in New York. All of this on my quest to learn photography and become a better photographer. And while I succeeded in learning a lot of things, I never quite succeeded in putting it all together. That is until I met Ray and attended his classes. Ray is not only of the best photographer I have met, but also the best photographer teacher I’ve had. He taught me lighting techniques that were practical and easy to remember. Camera settings to get the best use of lighting and how to get the best shot. His easy and modest approach to sharing his knowledge makes him one the best teachers you will have. You will not regret working with him.

Julian

I had a one-hour workshop and learned so many aspects of photography that I would have never thought of. He went into detail on the subjects we discussed and supported me by pacing throughout our lesson to ensure I understood everything he was saying. He’s already a great photographer, and now I found out he is a great teacher as well! I look forward to the lessons that we will have in the future.
