Pro Tip

 

The best camera you will ever have is the one in your hand.


You wouldn’t believe how many photos I’ve shot on dinky point-and-shoot cameras, a friend’s - and even strangers’ cell phones! Because when those epic moments come, you have to just use what you’ve got.

Fortunately, you don’t have to use your cell phone for this epic Wilderness Photography Experience…

 
 

But the one thing you will never leave home without is your skillset.

That’s what we’ll focus on during these wilderness photography adventures - helping you discover your “Eye” for shots and how to tell the most compelling stories in still images.

 

 

Become A Professional Photographer

I’ll bring you up to speed on how to use even the most basic photography equipment to capture incredible photos.

By the end of the day, you’ll discover that the kinds of shots you’ll want to print for your walls are only just a click away. . .

Wilderness Photography is mostly about using natural light to punctuate your subjects in an epic space.

The core concept I use for all my photography is what I call “Telling The Whole Story". It’s all about anticipated or setting up multi-planar action. Foreground, middle and background details that give the full narrative in a single frame.

We’ll focus on the basics to get you started so the next time you frame up a shot, you’ll feel like a well-seasoned pro.
