BACKGROUND
I am a Minneapolis photographer specializing in Digital Dental Photography. I also shoot professionally for several area theaters and have a special interest in Macro photography.
My 20 years sales experience at National Camera Exchange, a leading photo retailer in the Midwest, has kept me at the cutting edge of Digital Photo Technology. While there, I developed a Digital Dental Photography department, managed and attended numerous national dental trade shows, and created a Digital Dental Camera Kit based on Canon G series cameras.
I have nine years experience in the Dental Industry giving seminars and presentations about digital photography. I’ve also created a series of Dental Photography Tutorials. I use a casual approach and colloquial dialogue which makes learning about digital photography a “piece of cake”!
