VisionMining founder Steve Gottlieb is a nationally-recognized photographer—all images on this site are his—as well as founder/director of a prominent photography school for adults. (In previous careers, he was an attorney and corporate executive.) Steve developed approaches, techniques and exercises to help his adult photography students become demonstrably more open-minded, inventive, motivated, productive, confident, and mutually supportive.

Steve realized that these same approaches, techniques and exercises that have been effective with his photography students could serve as "creativity and innovation catalysts" for individuals and teams in a variety of organizations. VisionMining was born. (The VM Team)
