THE JUDGE
Eli Vega is an award-winning and highly published photographer with over twenty years of experience. His work has been featured in magazines, travel guides, post cards, calendars, and other commercial publications. His photo art was influenced by his three years as a college art major. He has taught photography classes since 1993. In addition, he has two non-photography college degrees, including a master’s in Human Resources Management from the University of Utah. His specialty in the Human Resources field was training & development.  As a former training and development specialist, he likes to make his courses and workshops engaging, interactive, high-energy and fun. His advice to any photographer is “Be an artist first, photographer second”.
Eli offers 3-day photography workshops at Rocky Mountain National Park and Garden of The Gods. His most popular workshop is “Right Brain Photography,” where he teaches how to see with your imagination, not your eyes. He also offers the same workshop at Garden of The Gods. The success of that workshop has served as fodder for Eli’s next book, RIGHT BRAIN PHOTOGRAPHY (Be an artist first), due out in 2015. His website is  http://www.elivega.net/
