Subjects covered during my workshops range from the basics like composition and exposure, to more advanced subjects like long exposure, exposure blending, maximizing dynamic range, adding depth to your images, as well as planning for the perfect shot.

Workshops are offered year-round. My schedule works with yours.  So regardless of the season, I can help you meet your photography goals.  Whether you want to learn photography in front of frozen waterfalls, spring blooms, peak fall color, or even the night sky, I can help you greatly improve your results!

How it works:

First, I need to see your work.  You can put together an online portfolio and send me the link, or simply email me the photos.  I would like to see around 10 photos of various subject matters.

Then, I need to know your goal.  You and I need to have clear objectives moving forward.  I can make suggestions after I have seen your portfolio, but in the end the goals are to be your decision.  Whether your goals are simply getting to know basic compositions or something more advanced like working with filters, I know I can help get you and your photography where you want to go!
