Sonny was the first one I thought to seek advice from ...
"Sonny thoroughly schooled me on the mechanics of indoor photography. After 30 minutes of soaking up his teaching and lots off practice I am truly surprised at how easily I can take a decent indoor people shot now. Thank you so much Sonny for your patience and skills. You are my master and I am your grasshopper."
Sonny is a natural teacher ...
It is very clear that Sonny has deep technical knowledge about how the camera works, however he took the time to understand my technical level, and geared his tutoring to speak to me on my own personal level. He presented the information in a manner that was easy for me to understand and apply to my own photography.
