ON LOCATION:

small group travel photography workshops

From complete beginners to advanced amateurs and beyond, no matter what your brand or style of camera, our small group destination photo workshops are designed to ensure the optimal experience to help you evolve as a photographer. Join me and award-winning British photographer Jonathan Vaines as we explore the world with our cameras. Spend your days photographing iconic and off-the-beaten path locations, hone your technical skills and expand your creative vision. We will push -- and often ignore -- the boundaries of traditional representational photography in order to capture the essence of the places we visit in unconventional ways. We will empty a variety of techniques, such as multiple exposure, ICM and minimalism, to achieve our visions. With daily 1-on-1 instruction in the field, the destination is your classroom and the photo possibilities endless.
