The class will be taught by Mark Romano, owner of Images by Romano, which houses the largest private portrait park in West Virginia, specializing in high school senior portraits and offering photography courses. He has published 17 pictorial books, such as the acclaimed “Brooks Run: We Mine Coal,” and “Heroes Among Us” for the WV Veterans Legacy project. He served as photographer and videographer for the Josh Stewart movie, “The Hunted,” and his coal photo exhibit has been on display at Tamarack: The Best of West Virginia. He has received awards from Professional Photographers of America and Professional Photographers of West Virginia for his work. Romano published “History of Webster County High School – 1974-2015,” and pictorials for Richwood County high school in West Virginia. He has photographed tens of thousands of models and will be showing the class trade secrets of lighting, posing and selling pictures.
