        Steve has helped countless numbers of photographers turn their passion into a profession and their photography into profits. With this class, you will gain a wealth of knowledge and a unique insight into creating images at a professional level.

        Steve will have you looking at your career from three aspects: The Fundamentals, The Business and The Art of Photography.
