Great Photo Tools is dedicated to enhancing your enjoyment of photography, the wonderful adventure that it has been for almost 200 years. This site is a learning place and a sharing place. A place for folks like you and me to exchange ideas and photo techniques.

We are excited to share our knowledge and experiences with you. Whether you are just starting out or are an experienced photographer, we have the resources and tools to help you improve your skills and capture the perfect shot.

Our blog is another part of this sharing environment. We encourage you to drop by and share your ideas, techniques, and product reviews for all to see. We are always looking for new and exciting techniques and products to share with our community.

One exciting new technique we are particularly excited about is "Green Screen Photography." This technique gives you fantastic opportunities to create exciting new images. We are also happy to share our knowledge on scrapbooking, which is a great way to preserve your memories and create beautiful albums.

About Us

Great Photo Tools is led by Dan Davenport, an award-winning business communications producer. Dan has over 30 years of experience in multi-image, multimedia, video, and print. After joining Minolta Corporation in 1971, he created the first Minolta School of Photography, which grew into The Maxxum Experience series of photo education seminars. These seminars were presented live throughout the US by a team of Minolta Technical Representatives.

Dan has a long history of creating award-winning slide, multi-image, and video programs that have earned more than 30 awards in national and international competition. His efficient, hybrid internal/external production system created powerful shows, visually exciting videos, and persuasive print that greatly enhanced Minolta's image in the marketplace.

Dan has also managed the staging of shows in many cities across the United States and Canada, as well as internationally in Acapulco, The Bahamas, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Cologne, Munich, Vienna, Glasgow, London, Monte Carlo, Osaka, and several Caribbean cruise ships.

Dan is a systems thinker, finding exciting programs can be developed using existing human and equipment resources by combining them in new and innovative ways. He has been active in professional associations, including the Audio Visual Management Association (now Communications Media Management Association), where he was a fully accredited member, Regional Director, and Technical Standards Chair. He has also served on the New Jersey State Governor's Review Commission to re-engineer media production in state government.
