About Jeff:

After graduating from Louisiana State University with a BA in psychology, Jeff was hired by the legendary Monte Zucker as his assistant. Jeff quickly rose to the position of business manager, responsible for all educational endeavors. He became the producer for all of Monte's of educational appearances worldwide, including classes in the U.S., Italy, England, Ireland, and Mexico in 2006 alone, culminating with his role as the creator and producer of the successful Imagination to Reality Tour later in the year, featuring Monte Zucker and Eddie Tapp. After Monte's passing in 2007, Jeff edited Monte's book, Monte Zucker's Portrait Photography Handbook, which was published posthumously by Amherst Media, and formed Monte Zucker Photographic Education, a business dedicated to continuing Monte's educational legacy. Jeff went on to produce the largest photographic educational tour of 2007, Capture & Creativity, featuring Clay Blackmore and Jane Conne-ziser.

In 2008, he conceptualized, produced and began filming How to Photograph Everyone, a joint educational DVD and website project with Clay Blackmore. Jeff's experience using Canon's HDSLR video capabilities for How To Photograph Everyone helped to spur the integration of HD Cinema content with Clay Blackmore's upscale portrait and wedding photography, leading to the development of full-service cinematic approach for Blackmore's clientele. This experience inspired Jeff to create a new tour, Photo-Fusion Revolution: The Future of Photography Tour, a 30-city tour teaching portrait photography and HD Cinema in the fall of 2010, where he was the producer and a co-presenter with Clay Blackmore and Ross Hockrow. Jeff and Ross formed CineStories, their filmmaking company, immediately following that tour, and began teaching filmmaking principles to photographers at major tradeshows (WPPI, PPA, PPE).
