Klass is a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology, and his academic background allows him to incorporate the latest technology into his artwork, and works to help other professionals to use these advancements. Klass feels that art, especially, photography should be about the relations with the environment and subject – not about aggravations over technology. By explaining the newest technology in simple language, within the context of nature photography, his teachings break down the wall between the equipment and the art. Klass does what he loves to do and he cannot imagine doing something different. Many of his works of art are availed online and in many physical art stores.
