What is one thing you have learned that has improved your photography?
Pay attention to what is in the background of the photos I’m taking.
Advice you’d give to others wanting to grow in their photography skills: Take some classes from Kevin Gourley. He is amazingly patient, kind, understanding, talented, and knowledgeable. He also makes you feel comfortable and no question is a dumb one. He provides handouts and gives homework. And his classes are fun.

Hi! I have added a new section to my blog called “Featured Photographers” where I will be featuring different students of my workshops and their work. I am featuring myself first, just to demonstrate how this works. Stay tuned for other photographers featured over time! 🙂
Your Name: Kevin Gourley
Type of Camera: Canon EOS 6D and 5D Mk II
What do you love to photograph the most?
I love all types of photography (nature, landscapes, portraiture, studio work, dramatic imagery), but what I am finding most fun these days is producing ‘composite’ images where I combine different images in Adobe Photoshop to creating a scene that never existed. The image below is a composite from an image shot in studio with a daytime image at a mission in San Antonio shot with an iPhone and then turned into a night scene with more dramatic lighting.
What is one thing you have learned that has improved your photography?
Pay attention to the LIGHT. Better light = better photographs.
Advice you’d give to others wanting to grow in their photography skills:
Practice! Learn from others. Practice some more!
