Rick Sammon

"When my workshop students ask my about my specialty, I say that my specialty is not specializing...because I photograph people, landscapes, seascapes and wildlife--as well as taking pictures underwater and from the air. I enjoy it all!

"For me, digital photography is a 50-50 deal: 50 percent image capture, 50 percent digital darkroom work. Perhaps best of all, I enjoy photographing strangers in strange lands."

Rick Sammon has published 26 books, including his latest: Rick Sammon's Complete Guide to Digital Photography.  Rick hosts many TV and live workshops, including the Digital Photography Work on the DIY network, covering the basics of digital imaging. He writes for PCPhoto, Outdoor Photographer, Shutterbug and Layers magazine.   He has produced an interactive DVD for Photoshop Elements users: 3-Minute Digital Makeover and has also produced two DVDs for Photoshop CS2 users: Awaken the Artist Within and Close Encounters with Camera Raw.

Rick gives more than a dozen photography workshops and presentations around the world each year.
