Our Approach to Teaching Nature Photography
We emphasize:
- Teaching digital photography technique that is practical
- Developing robust nature photography strategies
- Understanding the fundamentals while also embracing the latest technology
- Individualized attention to help you advance the skills you are interested in improving
- Continuous learning and skill refinement
- The workshops we teach are for learning and improvement at all levels

We integrate the art and science of photography:
- You will learn how to capture the emotion of a scene to tell an interesting story.
- We do not separate “landscape photography” from “wildlife photography”.
- The best images convey the context of the natural scene while also capturing emotional behavior of the wildlife in that scene.

We help hone your understanding of wildlife behavior to improve your photography
- You will learn how to anticipate wildlife behavior to capture exciting images
- We teach you how to photograph wildlife in a relaxed and non-invasive manner
- You will learn how to optimize the quality of your images in challenging lighting situations
