I’ve been involved in photography for eons. I’ve taught at the University of Texas at Austin College of Fine Arts, worked as a creative director at a regional ad agency, worked on two bestselling cook books, worked as a DP on an award winning music video and now I’m writing books and blogs. I’m still photographing for advertising and corporate clients every day. I think the visual arts should be fun, productive and collaborative.

This blog will help me share and get advice and insight from an interconnected group of visual people from across the globe. I currently have two books on the market: Minimalist Lighting: Professional Techniques for Location Photography , and Minimalist Lighting: Professional Techniques for Studio Photography . Check them out wherever great photo books are sold. Note: The third book, Commercial Photography Handbook , has now been published.
