I very much enjoy teaching photography and related skills to others, although I know that I’m always continuing to learn new things myself as well.

With the unpredictable schedule of the freelance life, shorter engagements are easier to fit into my schedule these days. I have been a visiting artist / lecturer at St. Thomas Day School in New Haven, The Cape Cod Conservatory in Falmouth, The Brentwood School in Los Angeles,†the University of Wisconsin-Madison and†The Illinois Institute of Art – Schaumburg. I’ll be looking for further opportunities of this nature to coincide with my travels.

I’ve also been organizing informal community workshops in West Philly, covering photography basics, photoshop, and some web basics. (That’s three different workshops, not one all-incompassing one.) If you’re interested in participating in these workshops, sign up here.

I taught Intro to Photography at Moravian College in 2003, in addition to being a teaching assistant for thirteen photo and digital imaging classes at the University of Pennsylvania between 2001 and 2003. I’ve also taught summer photo workshops at Penn and classes at the University City Arts League. Somewhere down the line I think that I’d really enjoy being a college photo professor, but thats still a ways away.

If I could be of use to your community or organization in an educational capacity, just drop me a line-

You embody what we are looking for in an artist to work with the kids, a person who knows and loves his arts and is able to share that knowledge in love with others. Please come back!!!!! – Ida Ginnetti, Art teacher, St. Thomas Day School
