Badlands photographer Private Instruction / Tours

Are you looking to take your photography to the next level of creativity? Would you like to learn tips and tricks to make your landscape and nature photography stand out from the crowd of copycat images? Are you overwhelmed when using complicated image processing apps? Do you wonder what is the best way to organize your growing collection of images? Does learning from a seasoned professional in small intimate groups or one-on-one appeal to you?

If you answered yes to any or all of the above then I can help! I offer custom individually tailored instruction to all levels of photographer, from beginners and advanced amateurs to even emerging professionals. I can work with you on location to demystify and simplify photographing in the natural environment. My instruction techniques are centered on understanding your subject matter to boost your creativity, and learning how to make technical procedures second nature.

Digital and Film Photography Instruction:

Do you need training in Post-Processing Techniques and Digital Asset Management (DAM)? Digital photography can be overwhelming for even advanced photographers. My methods and workflow keep things as simple and straightforward as possible, so you don’t get bogged down with unnecessarily complicated techniques.

Do you wish to explore and learn techniques in Traditional Film-Based Photography? I have over 20 years of experience working in the field with large format film cameras, along with extensive experience in all aspects of color and black and white darkroom techniques.

Would you like to learn and photograph in spectacular yet uncrowded locations? Looking for someone to take you to the most scenic locations, both iconic and little known? Let me guide you in the most photogenic landscapes so you can exercise your skills and come back with images you will be proud to share! While based in the beautiful town of Bellingham, Washington, I am willing to conduct your tour or instruction anywhere.

All sessions or tours are custom-tailored to your skill level, desired goals, and activity level, and are limited to no more than five participants.
