Describe your approach to teaching
My approach to teaching is to show the work of great photographers to educate and inspire and to use fun photo assignments to help find your own unique photographic voice.

What inspires your own work?
I love the work of the great photojournalists - Sebastiao Salgado, Steve McCurry, Martin Parr – and street photographers like Cartier Bresson, Elliott Erwitt and any number of contemporary photographers.
