74 What%u2019s the most important thing you want potential clients to know about you?I am known for thinking differently, and being a visionary in creativity and art, for creating different works of art through photography than they have ever seen.Where do you see photography technology heading in the next ten years?In the next ten years I see photography technology getting even more artistic, as photographers need to separate them-selves from anyone with a digital camera. If you want to be a professional photographer and make a great living at it, you can. You will have to provide something no one else can, and that can only come from your artistic vision. It does not matter what everyone else is doing, what they are doing will not set you apart. Creative software for photographers will continue to advance and with that so will what once was the standard and now archaic film cameras and processes.Do you mentor or offer classes to aspire beginners?I teach at photography conventions through PPA Professional Photographers of America and I also offer one on one mentorship workshops at my studio or via Skype.You have won numerous international awards, are you looking to add more to your collections in 2017?I am a very competitive person by nature, I find entering Professional Photographers of America and WPPI Wedding and Portrait Photographers International annual competitions very valuable to pushing me personally in my craft and it%u2019s great for client promotion when you win.Where do you hope to go from here?I am looking forward to going back to doing more editorial work. I have always wanted to create high end coffee table books of my art and now have (PAC) Pacific Artist Collection as my fine art print and book rep. I am really looking forward to creating large intricate photography sets and artwork both above and underwater.
