LIGHTROOM: CRAFTING THE FINE PHOTOGRAPH
  February 17-19, 2012
  Cleveland, OH- Cuyahoga Valley Photographic Society
 

My husband and I have attended two very diverse workshops with Tim Cooper, and in each his approach to his students was exceptional in sensitivity to individual needs, patience in teaching style, and total grasp of his subject matter. If you need to transition from film to digital or learn photographic techniques applicable to both, Tim is both a patient teacher and a knowledgeable professional who can bring you to the next level in your photography.
