We’ll let Mark take it from here!

Describe your creative style in 3 words
My creative style can be described as colorful, bold, and sharp.
Tell us about a time you struggled or failed with your photography, and how you overcame it?
When I first started out I worked for a friend photographing sports. I really struggled with getting my images to be sharp and straight. I just worked at it day in and day out until I was able to get more good images than bad ones.
What sparked your love of photography?
What sparked my love for photography was nature images I would see in outdoor magazines.
What’s your favorite class on KelbyOne and why?
If I had to pick one KelbyOne class that’s my favorite I would say its “10 Essential Post-Processing Techniques That Every Landscape Photographer Needs to Know.” As nature is my favorite genre to photograph, I took to this course right away. With that said, everything Scott teaches I look at because I like his style of teaching and it works for me.
