Oregon Photo Safari April 13-19 2025

Experience Oregon’s best on this photography safari with Jason Odell and Rick Walker, hosts of the popular photography podcast, “The Image Doctors.” We’ll start out in the iconic Columbia River Gorge just outside of Portland, OR, where you’ll be treated to majestic waterfalls, lush forests, and vibrant wildflowers. Continuing on, we’ll make our way to the town of Newport, which will serve as our coastal base-camp. From there, we’ll explore Oregon’s coastal landscapes, photograph lighthouses, and the fishing harbor of Newport itself. We’ll finally make our way back to Portland with stops at some iconic locations along the way, including Silver Falls State Park and more.

April 13-18, 2025 from Portland, Oregon

Workshop Style: Photo Safari | The workshop schedule maximizes our photographic opportunities each day, meaning there will often be extended shooting days starting at sunrise and ending after sunset. We will emphasize techniques for getting the best possible captures in-camera followed by high-quality image post-processing using tools like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. We will hold mid-day open Q&A sessions to answer your questions about how to get the best images when our schedule permits.

Experience Level: Open to all levels*
*You are expected to have a fundamental understanding of exposure and focus settings on your camera.

Activity Level: Moderate
Expect fairly easy trail walking but you must be able to carry your gear over hilly terrain up to half a mile at times. Most shooting locations will be near the parking areas.
