The Advanced Digital Photographer's Workbook

Yvonne Butler is a professional photographer, writer, consultant, and digital workshop trainer. Yvonne's passion for photography is closely followed by her ongoing sense of urgency to capture the beauty of people, objects, and special locations around the world. She has amassed a representative body of black-and-white and color images taken in over thirty countries, many of them so-called third world countries, while she works on specialty abstracts and close-ups as fine art form. Her work has appeared in several magazines, websites, brochures, and collateral materials of the digital workshop groups for whom she leads workshops or consults. Yvonne was the creator and former director of the four-year-old Shutterbug magazine digital workshop series. Forever falling back on her foundation in teaching, professional platform presentation and group facilitation, information technology, and photography, she now conducts her own digital workshops throughout the US and the world. Her platform and training skills have been honed over the past 35 years. She specializes in presenting technically difficult subject matter in simple, clear, friendly language, almost always using hands-on approaches. Yvonne is a member of Professional Photographers of America and she is a Charter Member of the Bellamax Advisory Board of Professional Photographers (www.bellamax.com). She is represented by galleries on Cape Cod and in Toronto, Canada. She holds a master's degree in information systems from Northeastern University School of Engineering and has taken extensive doctoral-level coursework in communication at the University of South Florida.
