Roberto Valenzuela
Independant
Roberto Valenzuela is a name that rings out in the photography world as a beacon of excellence and inspiration. Known for his mastery in wedding photography, Roberto’s journey in this artistic field is an embodiment of continuous learning, dedicated practice, and an unwavering commitment to refining his craft. Born in Mexico and now based in Los Angeles, Roberto's initial path was far removed from photography. His first passion was classical guitar, which he pursued to the point of performing in major concert venues worldwide. His experience in the music world taught him the importance of deliberate practice and honing his skills - principles he would later bring to his work in photography. Roberto's journey into photography was sparked by a simple point-and-shoot camera he received as a wedding gift. Fascinated by the ability to capture and freeze moments in time, he dove headfirst into learning the art and craft of photography. Roberto's natural flair for composition, coupled with his tenacity and hard work, quickly catapulted him to the top echelons of the field. Today, Roberto is considered one of the most influential wedding photographers in the world. Known for his elegant and evocative style, he has a knack for capturing the intimate, emotional moments that make each wedding unique. His work has graced the covers and pages of prestigious publications like Rangefinder Magazine and Junebug Weddings, and he has been recognized with numerous awards, including being named one of the "Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World" by American Photo Magazine. But Roberto's impact on photography extends beyond his own work. He is also a passionate educator, keen on sharing his knowledge and techniques with fellow photographers. He is a regular speaker at major photography conferences and has published several best-selling books on photography technique, including "Picture Perfect Practice," "Picture Perfect Posing," and "Picture Perfect Lighting." Through these resources, he distills his wealth of experience into practical, actionable advice, helping photographers at all levels improve their skills and artistry. Roberto’s approach to photography education emphasizes the importance of practice and understanding the fundamentals. Drawing parallels from his time as a classical musician, he equates the process of mastering photography to learning a musical instrument. It's not just about knowing the technical aspects but also understanding the principles of art, composition, light, and storytelling. His lessons are renowned for their focus on problem-solving and cultivating a mindset of constant learning. He teaches photographers to see obstacles — be it an unflattering location or challenging lighting conditions — not as hindrances, but as opportunities to innovate and create something remarkable. Despite his success, Roberto remains grounded and approachable, driven by a genuine desire to uplift the photography community. His dedication to helping others master their craft is as profound as his passion for photography itself. To learn from Roberto is not just to gain technical skills but to be inspired to strive for excellence, push boundaries, and keep evolving as an artist. Above all, Roberto Valenzuela embodies the transformative power of photography. Through his lens, he not only captures moments of love and celebration but also inspires a sense of wonder and admiration for the beauty of human connection. His story serves as a powerful reminder that with passion, dedication, and a commitment to lifelong learning, one can truly master their craft and make a significant impact on others. In Roberto's words, "Photography is an endless journey. I love that I can always get better, I can always learn more." This philosophy fuels his work, his teaching, and his ongoing contribution to the art of photography

Rosie Parsons
Independant
Photography can feel like a really complicated hobby. There’s nothing more frustrating than having a beautiful camera, but not knowing how to get the best from it. As an award winning professional photographer with ten years experience running my own business at Rosie Parsons Photography, it brings me so much joy to get feedback from students who say how my courses have finally helped them understand their DSLR. I love to inspire and encourage people with their cameras in their photography journey. My work has been published in OK Magazine, Digital Photo Pro, Cosmo Bride, You & Your Wedding Magazine and on the cover of Professional Photographer, among others. I love shooting photography for Shutterstock and I’ve enjoyed sharing my photography tips as an invited expert for Photobox. I currently have two photography courses on Udemy - DSLR Photography Camera Settings: Photography for Beginners and my just launched new course - Creative Fundamentals of Photography.

Sarah Meister
Independant
MoMA curator, erstwhile photographer, admirer of old, authentic and curious things I have been captivated by photography since the sixth grade when I watched my first print emerge in the developing bath beneath a murky golden safelight. Over the years my interest in the medium has grown and changed in ways that loosely parallel the chemical development process itself—transforming anticipation into surprise and (often) satisfaction, rewarding patience and creativity in equal measure. I never imagined that my childhood hobby would become an academic interest studying art history at Princeton University, or that my internship in the Department of Photography at MoMA would (eventually) lead to becoming a full curator at the Museum in 2009. I have a soft spot for functional photographs (those not made as fine art), and am keen to combine serious scholarship with an embrace of the medium’s capacity to connect with broad audiences. I am grateful for the inspiration gleaned from unforgettable art, and insight generously given by individuals encountered in my travels across South America, all of which helps me reimagine photography’s history and its future.
