Nice to meet you!
Tom Upton is a seasoned commercial photographer and one of the Bay area’s top photographer-trainers. He believes third-person bios are lame.. So I am taking over first person present.
I warmed to photography in the sixth grade when a science teacher showed us that rolls of film in our “Kodaks” held secrets. Little kid kitchen skills were summoned. In yellow light and water, images appeared out of nowhere. It was Magic. The magic persists today.
In my PhotoTrainer photography classes, I am committed to enabling students find their own visions through the lens. My teaching style is hands-on, engaging and laser focused on building confidence with today’s bonkers camera technology. I have read all the manuals so you do not have to. I am the Camera Whisperer.
With a over two decades of five star reviews, I have taught countless people how to love their cameras, photography and inner their creator. Finding your light will feed your creative urges mysterious and deliberate. ~TEU
