My Adirondack landscape and nature photography workshops are designed to be informative, cost effective, and fun for my students. Each is carefully planned and constructed to provide participants with a meaningful and educational experience, regardless of skill level and physical ability. Past students have really enjoyed them and have consistently commented that they learn a lot! As a veteran teacher with over thirty years of experience in classroom education, I enjoy teaching others and am committed to the education of each of my clients.

 
 

Personal photography Workshops:

In addition to the group workshops listed below I also offer 1:1 and 1:2 personalized photography workshops by the full day, half day, and by the hour.

Past clients have found these to be a great alternative as they are very flexible and can be customized to your specific interests to maximize your learning.

These are open to any skill and physical level with guidance from the very basics of camera operation through advanced techniques like macro photography, multiple exposure, intentional motion, and even astrolandscape photography. Smart phone photography is also topic that many clients have expressed interest in!

These are open to any skill and physical level with guidance from the very basics of camera operation through advanced techniques.
