Cree and I just returned from two weeks in Sicily, and I can’t tell you how great it felt to be traveling to Europe again. We have been teaching workshops, both domestic and international, for months now. And we hear from a lot of our travelers wanting to know how it is traveling during covid. Read More
Workshops
JAX Lighting Workshop
Just a heads up for anyone in Colorado or Wyoming. I’m teaching a lighting class in conjunction with JAX on Sept. 23. Our day will start with classroom time discussing lighting and flash, the evocative portrait, posing and creative lighting setups. And here is the cool part. After lunch we are moving to the Articulate, Read More
Speedlight lighting in Austin
A number of folks have asked me if I teach lighting classes, and the answer is yes! My scheduled lighting class will be in Austin Texas in March with the Mentor Series. These classes focus on speed lights, and are loaded with class sessions, critiques and shoots with models. The techniques you learn apply across Read More
Incredible Iceland
I just returned from leading an amazing trip to Iceland with Strabo Photo Tours. If you like landscape photography, it doesn’t get much better. This trip was planned for September to hopefully photograph some Northern Lights, and we weren’t disappointed. Our first night out we had a great display of aurora. And the amazing shooting Read More
Fall workshop update
I can’t believe it is September, summer has been great, sorry to see it go. But fall is my favorite time for photography, and I hear the aspens are already looking a little ‘pale’ in the high country. In a few weeks Colorado will explode in yellow, and Acadia NP will burst out with reds, Read More
Miami Speedlight Class

The Popular Photography Mentor Series is running a speedlight workshop in Miami in February, and it will be a great event. I’m thrilled to be working with Dave Tejada, he is a wizard with Read More
Stormy Skies and Lightning Triggers
I just returned from a great trip to Ohio with the Mentor Series. We packed in the shooting from landscapes to portraits to sports, but one of the highlights for me was the incredible skyline images we created. We had scouted a good bridge to photograph the Columbus skyline, and we were hoping for a Read More
Ohio here I come!
I teach photo workshops all over the country and globe, but noticeably absent are excursions to the Midwest. I grew up in the Midwest, and despite not having a Grand Canyon or an ocean, there are a lot of lesser known, but very beautiful, areas to photograph. When the Mentor Series asked me if I Read More
Shooting the West
I just returned from Shooting the West, a unique photography workshop/symposium held every year in Winnemucca, NV. This was my 5th year attending, and it is always a highlight of my year. Why? Because of the great people who attend, and the amazing workshops. This year Ben Wilmore was the keynote speaker…you might know him Read More
Bosque Del Apache
On my recent road trip I had a chance to stop by one of my favorite places to photograph birds, Bosque Del Apache. 40,000 Snow and Ross’s Geese, 10,000 Sandhill cranes, and countless waterfowl are currently at the refuge. What makes Bosque so special is in addition to the concentrations of birds, photographers have incredible Read More
