PHOTOGRAPHER EDUCATION

My name is Sean and aside from being a full-time wedding and portrait photographer, I also educate photographers from around the world. I’m best known in the community for my unique approach to lighting and environmental portraiture, but I also teach the business of photography as well for those looking to turn their passion into a full-time career.

You can regularly find me teaching at conferences around the country or at private workshops. I’m a regular speaker at WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photographers International) but I’ve also been a speaker/presenter at other conferences such as Imaging USA, Shutterfest, ClickCon, Friends of Fearless and others.

Over the past few years I’ve been listed as of the top artistic photographers by the Wedding Photojournalist Association, with my highest ranking being #5 in the world in 2021. I’ve also won multiple photography awards with organizations such as the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers, Fearless Photographers, and the WPPI Print Competition.

Additionally, you may know me as an ambassador for some of the biggest names in the industry such as MagMod, Geekoto, Pro Prints, Fundy, CheetahStand, StudioNinja and Holdfast.

 

JOIN MY FACEBOOK COMMUNITY HERE

If you’re looking for an awesome community of professional and aspiring photographers, this is for you! This is my educational community aimed at encouraging photographers to share photos for critiques, ask for business advice, and discuss anything related to the wedding and portrait industry. On the last Wednesday of every month, I go live in the group providing free portfolio reviews to anyone who submits. Each month I have a different guest to help me who is a notable educator in the industry.
