About Gary
Gary L. Friedman is a professional photographer who has traveled the world with his cameras and runs the stock image website FriedmanArchives.com. He has also written several highly-acclaimed e-books on digital imaging, all aimed at demystifying the complexities of digital cameras. His photography and writing has been published in magazines, newspapers, and books worldwide, and he is associate editor of CameraCraft magazine in the UK, the antithesis of your typical photo magazine. He was also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for building the world’s smallest telephone way back in 1980 (before cell phones or cordless phones were around).
Before graduating to photography he was a rocket scientist for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he patented the image authentication system now used in high-end digital cameras from Canon and Nikon.
Gary’s best-known works are the 1988 “Peace Child in Latvia”, a photojournalistic documentary about a historic exchange between Soviet and American high-school student back in the days of the cold war, his 2003 China Blog about his adventures teaching English in China, and his 2018 tour in Vietnam where he documented the humanitarian work of Hearts for Hue, helping the poorest neglected citizens of this former capital care for themselves.

I'm one of the few instructors who teaches from his studio, can show you interactively what my camera sees and how specific settings can change what the image looks like. I've given photography seminars all over the world for a decade; my teaching methods have been praised by both newbie and experienced photographers alike.

I would recommend Gary Friedman for a teaching position because he is patient and willing to work with people at their own level. He has over 50 years of experience in photography and is able to convey his knowledge to others in a way that they can easily understand. As an author of camera manuals he has developed the ability to take complicated subjects and present them in a logical, organized manner that is easy to follow. As a writer for an international photography magazine he created articles that were both informative and interesting. His own curiosity prompts him to experiment with new and fascinating approaches to photography that stimulates his readers to make similar experiments on their own. I had been a photographer as long as Gary has, yet would love to attend any class that he presented. Anyone can teach a class from out of a book; Gary makes people want to learn more. He would be a positive addition to your team.
I went for Gary talk during Sony Alpha Experience in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and dare i say most of us enjoy Gary talks and guidance in photography. The point is straight foward and easy to understand for a beginner. Definitely a recommended photography teacher.
