Are You Ready to Become a Wizard of Your Own Photographic Fate?
Let’s face it. The digital world has changed the game for all of us in just about every way. Gone are the days where you have to wait for your “film” to be developed in one-hour or less. Today just about everyone has some sort of camera, and in just a matter of minutes, images are going from the camera out to the world via Facebook, Twitter or email. Those who are not “tech-savvy” are quickly being left in the dust.
It doesn’t have to be that way…

Experienced professional who loves to teach
If you are looking for a proven professional who can provide you step-by-step guidance and direction as you master your camera, you’ve come to the right place. With over 25 years of experience working as a professional photographer, his mission and commitment is to share his knowledge and expertise with you so you can quickly become comfortable with your camera and begin creating those fantastic images that you will proudly display in your home.
Doug’s path in becoming the “go-to” photography instructor has evolved over the past couple of years. As a portrait photographer who creates beautiful wall décor for his clients, he noticed that many of his client’s were intrigued with photography and wanted to know more. Most owned decent cameras but were frustrated with the overall results they were getting. The most common issues revolved around bad exposure, blurry images, and confusion over all the camera knobs, dials and menus as well as not knowing how to make a decent photo print from their downloaded images. (Are you able to relate to these issues?) Instead of taking pictures on a film camera and having them developed at their local drug store, his clients were now trying to do everything on their own without much success. Their frustration and lack of technical skills caused Doug to rebrand his portrait business into PhotoPlus Training and Consulting, and now spends most of his time providing training and consulting to “non-techie” camera owners who want to increase their photography skills and go from struggling amateur to rock star shooter.
Each of us has a story to tell, and capturing lasting memories that we can cherish each and every time we look at them is more important today than ever. Doug’s goal is to help you do just that! Almost as fast as the click of the shutter, you can learn everything you need in order to gain the confidence and skills that will give you the power to turn your camera into a storytelling tool, that will record life’s magical moments for all to enjoy.
Not Your Typical Boring Classroom Experience
All of Doug’s courses and workshops are hands-on. You won’t be sitting for hours watching a slide show of his images while taking notes on “how he did it.” Instead you will be using your own camera and seeing the results through your own lens. His style of teaching is based on application learning versus the boring tell all lecture. You will leave each workshop with images on your camera that depicts what you learned in the program that day.
