Since 1995, Eric Boutilier-Brown has offered custom training, initially focusing on film and darkroom photography, and gradually changing to focus on digital imaging, post production, and digital media production. If you have specific needs not address in the courses scheduled, it might be that a one-on-one session, or a custom training is right for you
Focusing on What You Need
