I have been blessed by the many opportunities I have had to develop my skills as a photographer over the years.  Many of the tricks I have learned from professional, in the field photographers and photojournalists.  One of my greatest mentors, a National Geographic Photographer, taught me a focus and EF lock technique that revolutionized the way I took pictures.  That simple, yet incredibly powerful technique is not taught in photo schools or listed in books, and it is even difficult to find online.  I also don’t know of any photo schools that teach photographers how to communicate clear, direct, and calming instructions to a stressed bride on her wedding day.  Having effective communication on a wedding day, or during any photo shoot, is even more important than your skills behind the lens.  Learning to be a professional photographer was never an easy task for me.  I struggled to find photography teachers who knew enough about photography, communication, business skills, and marketing that I felt they were qualified to teach me.  It seemed that most of the “professionals” in the industry never wanted to share a peep about what they were doing, out of fear that someone would steal their ideas.  I don’t agree with this kind of thinking. Instead, I want to share all the tricks of the trade that I have learned through the years, with you.  Every bit of what I have learned from creating a professional wedding photography company I am making available to you, in the most understandable way I know how.  Take a look at the new BrovadoEducation website and find the class that works best for you.  My mission is to help you become, in business and in life, everything you have ever wanted to be.
