Presenter Bio
Jerry Courvoisier is a photographer, educator, digital artist, world-class Photoshop and Lightroom specialist, and internationally recognized imaging technology consultant. A popular teacher of photography, imaging applications, and printmaking workshops, Jerry's passion for photography, combined with his enthusiasm for sharing knowledge, is why he is the person others turn to for solid advice on digital imaging technologies.

Jerry is known for sharing knowledge, and the many and varied experiences he's had as a photographer, workflow consultant, and author helps him shape a patient, logical, experiential approach to his teaching style. He nurtures a deep appreciation for everyone's interest in photography and shares his passion for photography. A key distinction to Jerry's approach to teaching is a straightforward, no-nonsense learning process. He keeps the emphasis always on the photograph and whatever keeps people taking pictures and feeding their creativity.

From his base in Santa Fe, he has taught with the National Geographic Expeditions series, and his teaching and consulting journeys have taken him to the UK, Italy, Germany, and Australia. Jerry's new book, Lessons in DSLR Workflow with Lightroom 2.0 and Photoshop, was published by Peachpit Press in 2008.
