Writer / Publisher / Podcast Host
Kerry is a wedding, portrait and commercial photographer who has come out from behind the lens to create Camera Dojo, a website and companion podcast that helps photography enthusiasts hone their skills. Whether he is writing tutorials, doing product reviews, or working on the podcast, Kerry believes in paying-it-forward to give back for all the help he got from other photographers when he was getting started.

Kerry knows his way around the camera and offers his unique perspective about learning the craft of photography and making the most out of the tools and equipment you have at your disposal. Kerry takes difficult or complicated topics and explains them in a way that makes it simple for anyone to follow and yet detailed enough to help teach the topic properly.

Kerry lives in southern California with his wife, two kids, two cats, and a dog, plus lots of camera gear.

If you would like to have Kerry come and speak to your group, you can contact him at kgarrison@gmail.com.
