Dan Winters is one of my favorite commercial photographers. I had a chance to meet him while attending a workshop in Hunt, TX a few years ago. Really a great guy, and an excellent eye for “light composition.” He is now based in Austin.

Howard Schatz: an ophthalmologist who after a successful academic life as a retina specialist, turns his hobby into a very prominent career. One of my favorite commercial photographers these days. Very creative and always pushing his imagination beyond the expected.

All, I forgot to mention this during our first class today, but there’s a photo rental shop in town. Steve Templeton is a great guy, and has a shop full of toys and candies for you!! He has a great collection of both Nikon and Canon gear, at affordable cost. Consider renting for your school or professional projects, or if you’d like to try some lenses or cameras before you decide to but.
