Learn About Photography

This page is dedicated to learning and sharing information about photography.  I am a firm believer in life long learning.  I also believe you can learn something from everyone.   Photography has been a life long learning experience for me.  It has taken me years to develop myself as a photographer and I continue to learn new ideas and techniques that will help me become a better photographer.   I would like to share my knowledge of photography with ongoing internet discussions and classes about photography so check out my internet blog at http://www.myspace.com/136162134.  I am always open to questions you may have about photography and will try to answer them the best I can.  Feel free to e mail me at mark@mcphotographics.com

Assist Mark Program

Sometimes when I am working on location I need an assistant to help with the lighting of my subjects.   Although, I can not pay you to assist me, this is an excellent learning experience to watch and learn while I photograph a subject.  In addition, it is a great education in portrait lighting.  If you’re interested in assisting me give me a call or e mail me with your contact information and I’ll add you on my list and the next time I need an assistant I’ll see if you’re available.
