Michael LaNoue   Adjunct Instructor         Michael is currently teaching at Cypress and at Santa Ana College. I have also taught at Saddleback College. As an educator, I have been involved with photography for over twenty years. I enjoy teaching beginning and advanced students both the fundamentals of photography, as well as the finer points of visual communication. As a photographer, I have freelanced in portraiture and have worked as a senior and yearbook photographer with Sanford Studios.     My personal work has been exhibited at many galleries and has been published in Photographerís Forum. I thoroughly enjoy the impressionistic qualities of B&W infrared film and have used this film almost exclusively in landscapes for over 25 years. My love for wilderness has led me to photograph the beauty in the landscape before it disappears from our urban/suburban world. In addition, I have enjoyed working with various alternative processes, including but not limited to applied color, toning, and split toning. Currently, I am exploring the creative possibilities of digital photography.     back to faculity page
