“Joe is the ultimate professional, as a photographer, educator, and author. The learning environment he creates fosters a partnership that allows you to easily tap into his knowledge and experience. His detail-oriented approach dramatically enhanced my understanding of lighting fundamentals. He helped me build my own workflow for creating better images whether in the studio or in the field. Plus…he’s a fun person to be around!!!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Joey’s workshop. His class surpassed my expectations. Joey’s friendly and easy-going personality is such a plus. There was never a moment when any of us felt awkward or out of place. Well worth the experience.”
