THE AMERICAN DREAM TEAM AT PTO
 As befitting what is now a truly international event, two top American speakers are to be included in their exciting programme in Taba, Egypt, 27 January to 3 February 2009.
Jane Connor-Ziser is a true media artist with over 25 years experience in the portrait photography industry. From her earlier days as a much sought after retouching artist she was one of the first to embrace the new digital imaging technology in the late 1980’s being selected by Kodak and the Professional Photographers of America to deliver one of the first ever keynote seminars on digital enhancement. She now travels the world conducting seminars in between creating unusual works of art for her clients.
Her background is in fine arts and she began oil painting at an early age, her hobbies include writing poetry, making jewelry, writing and sculpting. A product of the sixties Jane still considers herself to be a “hippie” creating, sharing, seeing, experiencing and being part of the positive energy flow that connects people.
Jane met portrait photographer Patrick Ciatto in Florida in 2002 and they decided to combine their talents. Patrick comes from a medical background where he won many awards for his breakthrough imagery at the National Eye Institute in Maryland. He moved into people photography and studied for a while with the late great Monty Zucker. His goal is to offer a wide range of images for his clients without any creative boundaries which with the undoubted talents of his partner he can now achieve. Patrick will conduct an evening seminar and Jane a daily workshop on the January 2009, PTO course.
