I took Ray's Photogravure Workshop and so thankful that I did. He is an amazingly kind, generous and informed instructor. He was thorough in showing me the process and helping me to do it on my own. I am so grateful to have him nearby and will surely take another class in the chine-colle', when I feel I have "mastered" the photogravure process. I had a very positive experience and highly recommend his workshops. I also have purchased one of his prints. I love the feel, tonality, lighting and how he captures a thoughtful pose. His art is viseral and leaves a lasting impression.

I can confidently say I would not be where I am with my work or my business if it weren't for Ray's guidance. His patience and easy going nature makes tackling new concepts and skills feel so manageable. From photographic questions to working with clients, Ray has guided me throughout my 20 year photography career. I am so grateful for Ray's mentorship through the years and would recommend him wholeheartedly for anyone seeking to further their photography skills.

LIFE CHANGING MENTORSHIP

I could have never imagined how much the trajectory of my photographic career would change after meeting and studying under Ray. Ray's expertise in multiple photographic processes and concepts alone would qualify him as a valuable mentor... he is a technical master of many types of alternative process photography. What makes Ray truly exceptional as a teacher, however, is the generosity, empathy, and kindness he exhibits when mentoring. He is genuine in his interest in empowering photographers to make artwork, and I have never met someone who so can talk so eloquently about both technique as well as emotion in the photography realm. After my time studying with Ray, I had the technical knowledge needed to start my own wetplate collodion studio. Ray has always been happy to help whenever I have a question, has helped me source materials, and is generous about passing along opportunities to me. Do yourself a life-changing favor in investing in a mentorship with Ray. You won't regret it.
