- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In high school I was in the photography program shooting and processing film and photographs in the school darkroom. After graduating 1974, military service and family obligations put a temporary hold on my passion for photography. I re-connected in the digital age, and began taking on-line courses where I became aware of the advantage of shooting in Adobe Camera Raw (as opposed to jpeg) and the workflow process for achieving proper white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation, tonal balance, and sharpening with Photoshop. By constantly practicing what I learned and learning new techniques every week I grew more confident in my ability to adjust my camera settings to produce high quality images. I'll never know it all, and at present I'm studying off camera lighting and Photoshop blending techniques - especially as these techniques apply to real estate photography.
