What You Have in Common with Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher makes taking great pictures look so easy with the handy little Nikon cameras, doesn’t he?

So if you like taking pictures like Ashton + use the same camera as Ashton = you will have cool photos like Ashton…right?

The commercial sells us on the idea that all we need is a good camera to magically have spectacular photos of fabulous Hollywood parties and Aunt Sue’s venture into the polar bear club on New Year’s Day.

But they are wrong. A good camera can help (love me some Nikon), but it’s the person behind the camera that is the difference between a “wow” photograph and a “meh” one.

YOU are behind your camera, so it all it takes is for YOU to learn how to use the tool in your hands.

Students shoot the graffiti behind the silos in Downtown Washington.

My A to Z Photography Workshop is a hands on class that will begin with A, teaching all the basics of photography, all the way through to Z, saving and sharing your work.
