#872 – Student Success! Another ProProgram Photo Course Graduate.

Please join me in congratulating Sarah Ruest as she graduates from her ProProgram. I first met Sarah when she enrolled in a bike race safari in 2011 and she quickly decided photography was something she wanted to pursue!

She worked hard to explore many facets of photography from technical proficiencies to underlying style and story behind each photo project.

Sarah progressed well over her year in the program and we’re excited to see where she takes photography next! Keep an eye out for her work!

The Program helped Sarah take some big steps in photography. Hear what she has to say:
I entered the ProProgram with a love of photography, but feeling quite uncertain of how to grow my skills and vision for what was a fun hobby and outlet for me.  I found Harry’s Bike Race Photo Safari and had a blast shooting something different.  I was amazed at how much I learned in this short evening safari, and was impressed with Harry’s transparent teaching style.  I took a few more workshops, and in the fall joined the ProProgram officially.

The ProProgram allowed me to gain technical skills and build creative business sense.  Harry’s constant encouragement and advice guided me toward building my vision for how photography fit into my life.  It is the ideal program for anyone, because it is customized to your interests and needs instead of being a boilerplate.

I have a long list of projects to pursue, and hope to have a show someday.  Harry shared all of his experiences and lessons learned in this field, which gave me the confidence I needed to know that I can do anything I want to in photography.  Burned in my mind forever are Harry’s words “Do something different”!
