Theodore “Ted” Salamone, Certified Master Photographer

Theodore “Ted” Salamone, Certified Master Photographer.

Ted founded PERC Photography School after being professionally trained by by John Hedgecoe, the famous British photographer and writer of 30 books on photography.  

Besides in-person, on-location Private Tutoring sessions and Professional Certification programs, PERC offers Remote Training sessions as well for students across the country and the globe.  Topics cover all aspects of digital photography, photo editing and even Cinematography/Videography. Private Tutoring, semi Private Tutoring (2 students) and Professional Certification programs are available for anyone interested upping their skills or becoming full- or part-time photographers or videographers.

Ted loves teaching, and is especially thrilled when a student “gets it” during a session. He has completed commissions and assignments on 6 continents over a period of several decades. Ted has photographed and videotaped more than 800 weddings and events, plus dance, commercial, real estate, editorial, and portrait assignments. Above all, he loves photographing performing arts, architectural, and macro images.

Ted was the Exclusive Carolina Ballet Nutcracker photographer from 2009 to 2019, and has taught at UNC Chapel Hill, Wake Tech Community College, City of Raleigh centers, and multiple schools and venues in Silicon Valley.
