Teaching students at Nossi College of Art has become one of the highlights of my week. Over the last three years, I have really grown to enjoy my time teaching. The best part of teaching is watching my students create great work. When I see their passion for photography it makes me know that what we are doing is important.

This photograph is from my lighting and styling demo last week. We talked about my favorite simple lighting setup and how to add texture and depth to photos.
