You can quickly appreciate Ralph’s photography skills by reviewing his work on this website. What you can’t readily see is his ability to help you get great photos.

Ralph has a long and broad background in film photography and digital photography in particular. His wildlife and landscape photography is – well – beautiful! He has travelled far and frequently to capture wonderful photos and his knowledge of the Rocky Mountain area wildlife and landscape is extensive.

Important to me, as an amateur photographer, is his ability to demonstrate, teach and encourage others to improve their skills. During my personal experience with Ralph as a photo shoot companion, mentor and instructor he has demonstrated several of his qualities:

• An ability to work effectively with individuals and groups.
• An earned knack to spot potentially good shots.
• The preparation required for a particular type of photo target.
• Readiness to respond to questions with concise and helpful answers and demonstrations. These are often based on – ‘here is what I have tried’ and ‘here is what works for me.’
• Helpful suggestions regarding where you can get information to improve your photo skills.
• Straight forward and encouraging critique of your photos.
