Who is Joe Zeltsman?
Joseph (Joe) Zeltsman, M.Photog., Cr., FASP, DFP, initially introduced the technical aspects of his approach to portraiture at PPA and Canadian National Conventions, and several State Conventions. His approach generated considerable interest, and he was invited to teach it at the PPA School in Winona, and State sponsored schools in North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New York , Texas, and the West Coast School at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara. Those full enrollment five-day classes were scheduled throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Joe retired at age 80. He is a LIFE MEMBER of Professional Photographers of America, American Society of Photographers, Professional Photographers Association of New Jersey, and Cameracraftsmen of America, Inc.. Shortly after his 90th birthday, he purchased a computer, scanner, printer, etc., and after many endless hours learning to use it, compiled everything he has been teaching for so many years into this detailed instructional manual, to be posted on this Website as his legacy to his profession.
