My previous career was as a Lead Photographer and Digital Artistfor the X-Box division of Microsoft on the original X-Box launch team.
Since I have so much experience behind a camera, I have decided to use my knowledge to help other people, including dental professionals learn Photography. I specialize in teaching people how to shoot good INTRA- & EXTRA_ORAL photographs.
So I TEACH Continuing Education classes at dental conferences and for private practices.
I have taught many Dentists and their staff members about dental photography over the years.
I am presenting 2 workshop sessions at the Pacific Northwest Dental Conference in Bellevue, WA in June of 2016 for 3 hours each.
I posted some of the important points to remember from my long PowerPoint presentation as a PDF for people to pull down and review in order to better understand the fundamentals of how photography works.
