White Sands New Mexico Photo Safari

Photograph the Iconic White Sands Dunes November 4-7, 2021

Join me November 4-7 for an instructional photo safari to White Sands National Park

Photograph the iconic white sand dunes and yuccas of White Sands National Park November 4-7, 2021 while learning new photography techniques to create fine-art landscapes. This instructional photo safari includes early entry/late exit to the National Park so we can be there for twilight/blue hour and night sky photography.

  • Maximum group size: 8 photographers
  • Minimum group size: 4 photographers

Each participant will receive personal attention in the field during the shooting sessions. I will also provide “ask me anything” post-processing lessons and one on one support each day to all attendees. Topics will include the use of Lightroom & Photoshop for color and black and white image processing. We will also have group photo reviews and critique sessions.

Spring & Summer Photo Safaris Just Added!

A Return to the field!

After what seems like an eternity in quarantine, I’m excited to announce that I am now able to offer spring and summer photo workshops starting in May!

Join me in Trinidad for bird photography

For 2018, I’ve listened to your feedback and I’m taking smaller groups (6-8) for a more personalized experience. I’m also offering more birding safaris, as it’s something many people have been asking about. I’m also offering photo tours, including another photo cruise to Alaska!

My philosophy is simple:  photography is a craft. I believe you learn the most when you immerse yourself in the complete workflow of photography (visualization/capture/processing) for more than just a morning or afternoon.
