“My workshop with Ken really brought out the best of me! Ken makes it very easy to understand as he properly guided me to step out of my comfort zone and get the best photos. He also gave me a portfolio review with critiques that has allowed me to think and conceptualize my own work from a perspective I have never had before. Ideas from framing, to understanding lighting shapes/patterns, and properly engaging subjects. Highly recommend!”
— Bryan A.“The hands-on approach, combined with Ken’s clear explanations of lighting, composition, and editing techniques, makes the workshop incredibly practical and fun at the same time. I left feeling more confident in my ability to capture quality images.”
