My Learning Photography Journey & My Teaching Path

• Started at age 10 with a camera gifted by a family member. (A venerable Nikon F/Nikkor Nifty 50!)


• Studied visual storytelling in high school (newspaper) and college (TV).


• Worked as a broadcast videographer for more than two decades, documenting major TV events for NBC, CBS, ABC, and ESPN.


• Found my true calling in the lab teaching and sharing my storytelling passion with high school and university students.


• Teaching the camera arts goes beyond technical skills to help individuals discover their "eye" for storytelling.


• Created ZWOF to ease fears, dispel myths, foster creativity, and guide learners through photography and videography fundamentals.


• Aims to cultivate aspiring imagemakers' artistic vision and motivate them to tell their own stories.

Let’s master the camera together.
