Participant Testimonials
"Jerry is a very gifted photographer who fortunately also has the skill to share his knowledge in an easy going, easy to understand manner. Jerry is able to teach in a way that is valuable to both beginners and those who have been at it for awhile. I liked the class format of evening lecture followed by practical application the next day. Most importantly I saw a difference in my "before Jerry" photos and my "after Jerry photos!" - Jean J.
“Jerry has the heart of a teacher. He’s knowledgeable, patient, and fun to work with. I had a lot of fun and advanced my photography skills.” - Brian G.
“To say my that photos changed in only one workshop might seem unbelievable; however, Jerry suggesting I change my settings in my camera has made a world of difference. And now I see “light direction” everywhere, where I just saw brightness before. The photos at sunset are the best I have ever taken. Thanks Jerry!” --

“I was a little nervous going into the class as I’m not much of a “group” person, but that ended fast. The class session the night before was a great ice breaker and very motivating. The sites for the field trip were two of Oregon’s hidden jewels. Add to that Jerry’s teaching style - relaxed, encouraging, enthusiastic - and the whole group was having a great time before we knew it. When I viewed my photos I was shocked to see as much improvement as there was. Jerry put on a wonderful class and I learned a lot!” -- Kurt P.
“I had a great time at Carpe Lumen Photo Workshops! Jerry is a good teacher, very knowledgeable without being condescending or aloof. I learned a lot about my camera and learning to see the light” -- Heather O.
“Jerry, I appreciate the work you put into making sure everyone got something out of the workshop. I definitely learned from it and and will draw from that knowledge as I continue to learn this art. The small, personal group was very conducive to learning and sharing information. All in all a very enjoyable experience.” -- Rick L.
"Great workshop! I learned a lot. Thanks for all the help, information and attention to what I needed." -- Bob B.
