The International Center of Photography is a renowned institution dedicated to the education, research and exhibition of photographic arts. For the past 12 years I have taught an in-studio course entitled Fundamentals of Studio Lighting, with an annual enrollment of around 30 students. Ranging in experience from beginner to more advanced knowledge of lighting technique, my students are as diverse as they are inspiring.

As the Chapter President of ASMP New York, I was responsible for the coordination and production of membership events, both large and small. I also was in charge of marketing and public relations concerning the annual nationwide ASMP photo competition which involved reaching out to art buyers, directors, gallery owners and other judicial candidates.
