Renowned for his ingenuity, Jerry Ghionis will show you how to actively train yourself to think and be more creative.

Are you born creative or can it be taught? Jerry will flick the switch in your head that’s preventing you from taking your work to the next level. Some things that separate Jerry’s work from others are his strong sense of composition and his clever in-camera cropping. Jerry will offer his unique perspective on powerful composition and cropping that will give your work an edge that will separate your work from your peers. Jerry strongly believes that there are no shortcuts to excellence and longevity. Remember, you don’t have to be the best, you just have to be better than last week.
