I'm Paul Einarsen - your instructor
For over a decade, I’ve helped people enjoy their photography experience—guiding them to connect more deeply with their photos, preserve meaningful moments, and stay organized through the ups and downs of daily life. My mission is to help everyday users feel confident with their technology so they can use, enjoy, and protect their pictures with ease.
Before launching my own business, I spent years in the printing industry, helping clients transition into digital photography and desktop publishing. That work led to an unforgettable chapter at Apple, where I trained and supported thousands of people—teachers, parents, creatives, and small business owners—as they explored the power of photos, video, music, and voice on Apple devices. Today, I bring all that experience together to make your iPhone photo journey simple, useful, and empowering.
