Reviewers

Terri Cage:
Terri Cage is based in a small town in North Texas, very close to the heart of horse country. Being a lifelong horse lover and owner, Terri started her photography emphasis with horses and people with her horses. Terri added senior portraits to her collections after several customers asked if she would photograph their senior portraits with their horse. Terri enjoyed photographing seniors and a new niche within her photography business was started. Terri has a degree in fashion and design, which helps in choosing the best fashion and colors that complement each model. Her knowledge of horses helps in understanding the best angles and the correct timing to make a horse look its best. Equine photography takes a great deal of patience and it is something she has plenty of.

Terri has spent countless hours studying the behaviour, movement, and conformation of horses. She takes pride in making her clients and horses look their best. Terri also keeps a large collection of equine stock images and has been published in numerous publications. Terri loves to share her experience and hosts several classes, workshops and styled shoots throughout the year.

Scott Trees:
For 40 years Trees has been in the top echelons of his field with an international client base. His reputation is for a dramatic use of light in creating exceptional, artistic, emotional photographs with a strong eye for composition. His photographs have been in numerous publications and the collections of private collectors of fine art images.

Scott reviews all photographs from the stand point of “How could this be better.” Having photographed a variety of breeds and disciplines within those breeds, Scott brings to the portfolio review process a great depth of knowledge and experience and a willingness to share it. This can be extremely beneficial to anyone trying to learn how to improve their images with a review from this respected photographed.

Amateur or pro, anyone can benefit from an objective, experienced opinion, given with the educational intent of improving their photography. Finding someone that will offer such a critique with the purpose of helping you improve is not always that easy! They either a) tell you what they think you want to hear, and or b) rip it apart and offer no solutions regarding how to make it better.

Scott Trees’ approach is centered on trying to help his students improve and learn. “In my workshops I find portfolio critiques to be a popular and educational element. I attempt to offer an informative, constructive critique by sharing 40 years of international photographic experience. My goal? To offer suggestions and guidelines that help the recipient compose a more powerful, improved image."

Sherron Sheppard:
Sherron began her photographic career photographing weddings. Over 15 years ago Sherron transitioned into fine art photography and started presenting programs and workshops to amateur and professional photographers. She teaches Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter classes at the California Professional Photographers West Coast School, EPNet, and conducts private workshops.Sherron is a Master Photographer, a Master of Electronic Imaging and a Certified Photographic Craftsman.

Sherron has earned numerous Fuji Masterpiece awards, Kodak Gallery Awards, Judges Awards, and Professional Photographers of America Loan Collection prints.

Sherron's portfolio reviews are conducted from an "artist's point of view". Sherron judges numerous photography competitions and, in the process, critiques many images. Offering suggestions on student images is also a large part of her workshops. Sherron's approach to critiquing is centered on her own artistic approach to photography. She gives the makers honest suggestions on what is right about their images and also what will make their images better. In addition to her artistic vision, Sherron's success in photography is due in large part to her traditional art knowledge and following the artist's rules of composition and design. She uses her art background and considers those same compositional guide lines in her critiques and offers suggestions that are designed to add impact and to elevate the maker's images to new artistic levels.
