About

As professional newspaper and commercial photographers, Jamie Moncrief and Ed Zirkle have captured some of the most memorable images of Southeastern North Carolina in their decades of work. And over the years they've had the opportunity to share their talents with other photographers - young and old, amateurs and professionals.

Their fun, hands on approach to teaching digital and analog photography makes them a favorite at photography clubs, professional seminars and photo outings. No matter what skill level you're at, you'll have fun learning how to use your camera!
