Howard Austin Feld and His Digital Photography Workshops

I am Howard Austin Feld, the founder of HAF STUDIOS and Howard’s HDR Digital Photography Workshop. As well as one of the most successful digital photography catalog studio’s in America. Over the last three decades I have photographed every conceivable product/fashion for many national and international clients. In 1995, I was one of the original pioneers of digital photography and became one of the first fully digital photography catalog studios in America. hdr

About My Digital Photography Trademark

In 1998, I decided to branch out to my aesthetic side and created my own trademarked style called Pixelimpressionism. My first signature gallery in the heart of South Beach on Lincoln Road opened in 1996. My work continues to attract Local, National and International clients. My artistic style depicts how I see and interpret colors. I believe my color enhancements entice life and display a vision for the eye never seen before.

Howard’s Digital Photography Workshops and Services

I also do custom personal digital portraits. Never before has portrait photography been captured and presented in such a unique way. I will work with you personally to create a work of art that will last a lifetime.

My fantastic 2 and 3 day digital photography workshops are intense, nonstop learning experiences. Assisted by my team of professional photographers, models, computers, and Photoshop experts. The digital photography workshop consists from basic photography to advanced lighting.

My photography workshop takes place in my North Miami studio and on location in beautiful South Beach. However, coming soon I will have some online digital workshops available for aspiring students that don’t reside in South Florida.

You will learn how to see differently and how to capture images in fresh and responsive ways. I will use your ideas and vision to create your own works of art for a distinctive portfolio. Or, to simply enhance your digital photography skills.

I am a South Beach native, and I try to reflect my free spirit and energetic lifestyle through my art, portraits and digital photography.
