“I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce and his son Josh while partaking in a 4-hour, 7-steps to improving your photography class. The level of detail, customer service and overall commitment to the craft were evident from the moment we walked in the door. I had a little camera knowledge but found Bruce’s instruction and tips extremely useful. Bruce truly is an artist and gifted teacher. I would highly recommend him for classes, and photography you might need in the future.” ~ Tanya E., Seattle, WA
