SPEAKING & JUDGING

Sharing knowledge. Supporting the art of photography.
On stage, behind the judging table, and in the classroom.

SPEAKING

I've had the privilege of speaking at photography conventions, camera clubs, and creative events throughout the United States—and twice in Europe. My goal is always the same: to inspire, educate, and encourage photographers to see the world—and their work—with fresh eyes.

TOPICS INCLUDE:

  • Growing as an Artist
  • The Power of Personal Projects
  • Image Competition 101

I'm available for speaking engagements at conventions and events large and small.

JUDGING

I have been a PPA Juror for the past 15 years, with extensive experience evaluating images at the highest level. Most recently, I had the honor of judging the final round of the International Photographic Competition at Imaging USA - where the winner walked away with a $10,000 cash prize.

I also teach the PPA Judges Workshop, where I help train and mentor the next generation of jurors to uphold the highest standards of excellence, consistency, and fairness.

Education should change us. If we leave a class, critique, or conversation seeing the world exactly as we did before, we've missed the point.
