Original Photography And Excellent Photography Courses and Classes
Do you find photography interesting? If ya do then you’re in the right place. I’m Sam D’Amico and this is my website. I’m a professional photographer and professional photography teacher.
While you’re here, take some time, look around and make some comments.
In short, this website is about selling photographs as prints, licensing rights managed stock photography and photography classes.
Specifically, as a professional photographer, I sell prints of my work and license my photographs as rights managed stock photography. In addition, as a professional photography teacher, I post information about my photography classes and I write blog posts based on conversations that happen during my photography classes.
I’m not sure how you wound up here but I’m glad that you’re here.
