Jeff Cowell has been involved in photography at various levels for over 46 years.  After many years as a Software Consultant, he became a full-time professional in the photographic industry in 2001.

Recognizing the need for affordable and concise photo education, he began teaching Photographic Seminars in 2002.  Since then Jeff has traveled throughout the country teaching hundreds of students on subjects including; Basic Photography, Digital Photography, Studio Lighting, Severe Weather Photography, Darkroom Printing Techniques for Color and Black &White, Photoshop and The Business of Photography.

As the photographic industry evolves the subject matter of these seminars continues to evolve to keep pace.  Keeping a pulse on the ever-changing climate of the photo industry requires exposure to the participants in this market.  Jeff achieves this by maintaining a position with the largest Professional Photo Lab in Wichita, KS where he also maintains his studio.  By doing this he gets insight into those issues that concern the professional photographer as well as the retail customer, with a unique added advantage of knowing the concerns of a professional lab and commercial photographers.

Seminar and class formats changed dramatically in 2009 to accommodate a big expansion in the material covered and they continue to change in an effort to continually address the changing industry.  The addition of a Photography Boot Camps and extended Photography Schools will take up a lot of time on the schedule but actually increase the offerings to students, while at the same time we will be offering various Online Classes so you can learn from the comfort of your own home or office.   In 2010 specialized workshops were added to the offerings to help photographers get more of the hands-on experience needed to master their skills. 

2010 has also seen the beginning of class offerings at The Wichita Art Museum and Botanica "The Wichita Gardens" on a regular basis.  These classes are part of fund-raising efforts and proceeds from these events go towards supporting the operations and growth of these wonderful organizations.  Similar events are likely to be offered at several other museums and non-profit organizations around the United States in the months and years to come.

Moving into 2011 another major scheduling format change is expected to offer an ongoing series of seminars for students seeking  a continuous stream of photographic education.  This continuing stream of classes is intended to help students retraining into another vocation after extended periods of unemployment, as well as young learners who are starting out on a career path in Photography.

Please have a good look at the details of all of these classes and seminars to see what fits your schedule. Don't miss the Photo Excursion listings too.
