"Studying with Lori Ryan has been invaluable to my development as a photographer. She has helped improve my eye, from seeing the image through the lens to knowing how to achieve the best print quality. In between shooting the picture and the final print, my ability to work on image quality has been helped immeasurably by her vast knowledge of Photoshop. She knows how to guide me through the entire photographic process and how to challenge me to do my best." ~David Elliott
