Adventurers of the f-Stop Membership is here! At the bottom enter our contest 🙂

I really enjoy making Deep Dive videos for you and I truly love answering questions from photographers.

For those of you who are just stopping in…I’m a teacher of photography.  I have a degree in art with an emphasis/concentration on photography.

Now, I know that having a degree doesn’t make me a good photographer, but what it does mean is that I am educated.  I’m not trying to say I’m smarter than anyone else that doesn’t have a degree, but I do believe that you must always continue to educate yourself.

A bit of history about myself:

What I used to do was make video tutorials to remind myself of what I learned and liked when it came to post-processing and/or photographing.

A company called Curious.com asked if I would like to be a teacher on their site and I thought, ‘what the hell’, let’s see how this will work.

You probably know that I had a great time, but when it came to my photography work, I became bored.  Yes, I was working with Art buyers and interior designers, but it wasn’t enough.

I didn’t want to go back to college, so I kept searching for new tools to learn to push the creative side.   When I found out about a program called The Arcanum, I signed up and waited to see if I would be picked up.  Yes, I was and totally grateful to be part of the passion that the group had.  When I was asked to be a master photographer, I was so honored because I knew first hand how amazing it is to be with a group of photographers that love the craft as much as I do.

Now my life has begun a new journey.  I’m still working with photographers in The Arcanum, but now I can work with more in my own membership site!  Ashley, my daughter, is the co-owner of SJP.  Both of us discussed this in more detail and with the help of my own mentors, SJP Membership AFS’ers was born.

AFS’ers

I know how it feels to be stagnant.  It’s a horrible feeling.  Everyone is saying you should always have a niche… I get that too, but I just wanted to play and learn…I wanted to create something different.  Is that you?…probably, because most of us feel that way.

I understand what is needed to really push yourself and to enjoy creating new work to share with the world.  It’s an amazing feeling to express what you love in your work and I want that for you!

I truly believe that a picture is worth a thousand words and a thousand words makes a difference.

With this membership, I want to help you express yourself with your work by pushing you, just a tad, out of your comfort zone.

So this is just a taste of what Ashley and I have planned for you.  We just added it to the membership site.
