Customized group and personal photo tours

Instead of a photo workshop that requires me to divide my time between a group of strangers with differing needs, I offer exclusive training and guidance customized to your, or your group's, unique objectives and skill level. One hundred percent of my time is dedicated to you and/or your group.

Here’s what will happen

Before our trip I’ll spend time learning the needs, objectives, and skill level of you or your group. We’ll start with an evening discussion, training session, or photo shoot, then set out the next morning for a sunrise shoot. The rest of the workshop will be spent photographing Yosemite’s classic views, and visiting a few secret spots (yes, there are still secrets in Yosemite). We’ll talk about Yosemite and whatever aspects of nature photography interest you. And if you want, I can even bore you with Yosemite’s geology and history (I’m afraid it doesn’t bore me). You'll come away with beautiful photographs and improved photography skills. We'll work hard, but we'll have fun.

I am also available for personal photography workshops in other areas of California and Arizona. Would you like to photograph the Sierras, Big Sur, Folsom, Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, or Death Valley? Is there another area that excites you? I have photographed most of California and Arizona over the past 25 years, and can help you get the most photographically out of almost any natural location.

How much?

For $750 per day, I’ll customize an exclusive on-site photography workshop that best fits the season of your visit. You can bring up to three guests at no extra charge; if you have a larger group, contact me with your needs and I'll gladly work up a very reasonable plan. Custom photo tours to areas other than Yosemite may incur a slightly higher daily cost.

Guaranteed satisfaction

If you’re not happy with my services, I’ll refund my fee without question.
