CHRISTIE L. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“As a total beginner to photography, I was a little apprehensive about signing up for a workshop, wondering if I’d be completely lost, or worse, a hindrance to others. I am so glad I pushed past that worry and signed up anyways. This workshop was beyond amazing. Not only did I learn a ton, the energy of the group and leaders was hugely inspiring. I suspect this workshop will be a 2025 highlight…For anyone even slightly curious, I give this my highest recommendation.”

MELISSA D. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Amazing workshop. The perfect balance of learning photography techniques based on the different scenes of waterfalls, vistas, landscape and wildlife. The instructors were amazing, and I really appreciated the opportunity to deepen my understanding of post-processing, lighting, composition and trip planning.”

AMBER S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“It was an amazing experience. I learned so much in such a short time. It was immensely beneficial to surround myself with people who were interested in photography and talk through issues I was having in person/real time. I really enjoyed getting outside and all of the hiking too- it gave plenty of opportunities to get creative! I feel like I have grown 200% as a photographer within this one weekend..”

DENNIS S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The workshop is a great mix of hiking and photography. Scott and Steve happily provided plenty of one-on-one field instruction on both the technical and creative aspects of photography. My knowledge about photography has doubled as a result of Scott's and Steve's training. Highly recommended.”

BECKY F. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Scott and Steve went above and beyond putting together an amazing workshop. Not only were they very approachable but gave each participant individualized attention based on their needs and skill level. Couldn’t be more excited to use all I’ve learned!”

MANIT S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Scott and Steve are not only great photographers but also great instructors and really nice and humble human beings. They accommodated everyone in the group despite different skills and fitness levels. They answered each and every question - not just about photography but anything and everything else. And the cherry on top were the jokes and the humor to keep everyone in high spirits and enjoy it despite the infinite mosquitoes out on the trails.”

NICK S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“5 Star Photography workshop! I had such a great experience thanks to Scott, Steve and our great group of photographers. From our prep/planning before the trip, to our experience in the field shooting, Steven and Scott were professional and helpful throughout. I've been a photographer for the past 10 years and still picked up valuable knowledge throughout the workshop. I feel my fundamental photography skills are more refined after this trip, and I also had the chance to learn more about timelaspes, 4k video, and the workflow/editing process. Can't recommend this workshop enough. Whether you're newer to landscape photography, or an advid photographer looking to grow your skillset, and challenge yourself, you will not be disappointed!”

PAUL F. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from the best in a fantastic environment. I can’t recommend it highly enough. You will learn more than you can imagine, regardless of your level.”

PAUL S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great Photographer and Great team leader! Scott is always willing to help his students in the field and in the classroom. Scott and his associate Stephen provided an amazing workshop on Mount Rainier!

CHANDLER G. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“What a great experience! Scott and Steve are so knowledgable and generous. No question was too basic, but they didn't hesitate to go deep in the weeds of both the art and science of nature photography. I feel like I really improved my ability to see great photos and capture amazing moments. I went into this trip thinking it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but I just might have to sign up for a future workshop..”

TARA S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The photography workshop with Scott and Steve checked all of the boxes of what I was hoping to learn. They both provided guidance in such a way as to create a learning environment while allowing for your own creative expression to shine through. I walked away with confidence in my ability to shoot in manual mode and understand the reasons why I didn't achieve certain aspects within the frame prior to now. No regrets on making this investment into myself and my photography journey.”

CONNOR H. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This workshop was an incredible experience, both Steve and Scott went above and beyond making sure everyone had a great experience. Would highly recommend this workshop for anyone interested in it.”

“This was a fun way to learn more about capturing beautiful light and landscapes. Steve and Scott shared their expertise through talks and demonstrations, and led amazing photography excursions within the park. I’m excited to have leveled up my photography skills from their instruction.”

KARSTEN F. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I was lucky enough to go on one of Scott's workshops in the Mt. Rainier National Park. He is an amazing teacher and answers any question you may have. I learned a lot in only a few days, which has propelled my photography and how I view landscapes.”

LIZ S. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Taking this or a similar class was on my bucket list for decades. This class still managed to exceed my expectations. I learned a tremendous amount and wish I had done it 10 years earlier. I am excited to use what I leaned and grow my photography skills further. Scott and Steve were incredibly patient and wise. I could not have asked for a better experience.”

DEBORAH B. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This was a great workshop!! These two make a dynamic duo. Although I was more of a beginner than others on the trip, they still took the time to patiently help me get some good shots and learn. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and helping others learn and grow as photographers. Highly recommend..”
