GENERAL ITINERARY

Please note that over the years I have found a certain percentage of participants that desire a linear-type itinerary outlining where we will be each day, and at what time we will be doing what… I conscientiously choose to not lead my workshops this way!

My main goal is always to put you in the best locations at the very best times for the highest opportunities for the best imagery. The only way this can happen most often is by being flexible and intelligently reacting to the weather conditions. Due to seasonal and weather changes, locations will be decided on a day to day basis, possibly, occasionally subject to change at a given moment.

If you want to check out my recommendations from my previous clients just email me and I'll give email you a list and would be happy to answer any questions you may have about being on one of my workshops!

INSTRUCTION INCLUDED

  • Post Processing: As a leading educator in post-processing 16+ years (Lightroom, Camera Raw, Photoshop and more) I will be teaching all participants during our midday off location times. The general curriculum will be based on each person in the group’s specific educational goals!
  • Hands On Instruction: From the moment we meet up we will be connecting regarding every aspect of landscape photography, from composition to technical specifics of post processing. I will be available for one-on-one instruction (as much or as little as requested) in the field for camera settings, composition suggestions etc. and after shooting in depth discussion with all of your questions answered.
  • It will be best to bring a laptop and you will need to have either 2022 Lightroom Classic AND 2022 Photoshop installed, or Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop. The more updated the versions, the much better skills and training I can give you! Photoshop 2022 is highly recommended! Having only Lightroom will not be appropriate for all the skills I need to teach.

"...You are an incredibly talented nature photographer who is fully committed to serving your client both in the field & with incredible/outstanding post processing tutoring! You are a guru!

I cannot thank you enough for the best week I've EVER had doing & learning landscape photography." - Carl Zanoni
