What is a Photo Adventure?
A photo adventure with me is a mix of a photography tour, where participants are guided to the best locations, and a photography workshop, where there is a greater emphasis on education which often includes classroom sessions. On my photo adventures participants can expect to be in the field as much as possible. While technical assistance is always available, conversations and teachings will focus more on identifying photography opportunities, personal and creative expression, and how to capture the scene in a way that tells a story. I also delve into the field craft of understanding wildlife subjects: interpreting body language, anticipating behavior, and piecing together environmental factors in order to give yourself the best chance to capture amazing images ethically.

Big News!
I am thrilled to announce I have accepted the offer partner with Wildside Nature Tours as a tour leader and team member! Going forward most of my group trips will be coordinated and run through Wildside Nature Tours. They are an excellent company with ethical and eco-forward practices. Established in 1993, they have been providing exceptional experiences around the world for photographers, birders, and nature lovers alike. This new arrangement allows me to further your experience in the field by offering tours that include transportation and lodging, taking away those additional "to-dos" before your trip and helping decrease the automotive footprint group travel often leaves. Overall, I believe this will be an amazing change for both participants and myself and I look forward to seeing you all in the field!
