Wendy Jamison – Photographer • Educator • Storyteller Wendy Jamison is the owner of Wendy’s Eye Photography and the creator of The Creative Lens Series, an immersive photography education program designed to help photographers see the world with intention, confidence, and creativity. With more than 12 years of teaching experience and over a decade leading photography adventures and workshops throughout the Lehigh Valley, Wendy has guided hundreds of photographers—from complete beginners to experienced enthusiasts. Her classes combine technical knowledge with hands-on experiences that encourage exploration, creative risk-taking, and personal growth. Wendy believes that great photography isn’t about owning the newest camera—it’s about learning to observe light, recognize moments, and tell meaningful stories. As she often says, “I don’t teach people how to use a camera. I teach them how to see.” The Creative Lens Series offers a progressive learning experience through workshops, field adventures, boot camps, and specialty courses that build both skill and artistic vision. Students leave with stronger portfolios, greater confidence, and a renewed excitement for creating images that reflect their unique perspective. Whether photographing a bustling festival, a quiet landscape, or an everyday moment, Wendy’s goal is to inspire photographers to slow down, see differently, and create photographs that matter.
