Do Your Photos Come Out Blurry, Less Sharp, Or Plain Out Of Focus No Matter What You Do?

Do you always see good images on your camera screen when you're out shooting photography, but when you come back to your computer, the photos don't quite look the same?

Do you want to learn landscape photography or improve your skills?

All of these and more photography problems can be solved with learning the basics of photographing landscapes (and other objects) out in the field with a little help.

I offer one-on-one and group in-field photography classes for those interested in getting their landscape, urban, or creative photography to the next level.

Contact me via the contact form on this website via Instagram or Facebook or by calling 805-586-0626.

Currently, the workshops are offered in the Los Angeles area in the Southern California, but since I travel all over the place, arrangements can be made depending on the situation.

What to expect from my Landscape Photography Workshop:

Depending on your skill level, every workshop will be tailored to improve your skills and teach you some aspects of photography that will help you add new skills and techniques to your "photography toolbox"

In my view, photography is 50% technical skill and 50% creativity. However, it is important to have your skills down, so you build a proper technical foundation, which you can apply in the field, so you miss fewer opportunities to shoot your favorite landscapes. As the sun is setting and your time is running out. The more photography skills and techniques you possess the more creative you can become in expressing yourself in the art you make. And eventually you need to get to a place where skills and using your camera is second nature and all you need to think about is looking to capture that next amazing masterwork of yours.

Some of the photography areas we explore and go over at every workshop:

- How to set your camera settings to maximize the quality of your photos.

-The use of bracket shots;

-Focus strategies ( if you choose to do focus stacking in your photos), long-exposure photography to capture light trails, smooth water, etc.

- Use of filters for shooting landscapes. 

- Composition theory and practice

- Learning about the capabilities of your camera to minimize noise and get better-quality images.

- Improve your editing skills, using Lightroom and Photoshop and/or other photo editing software.

Time and Location of Photography Classes:

Currently, I offer photography classes in Southern California or surrounding areas within a 4-5 hour radius from Los Angeles. 

One-time classes for landscape photography may last anywhere from 2 to 3 hours during sunrise or sunset hours. And if travel is involved to shoot at some specific locations you desire, we will have to adapt accordingly. 

For city shoots, I like to do those at a later time in the evening hours, when there aren't too many people in the streets and we can focus on getting better architectural compositions.

What To Bring To a Photography Workshop:

A Camera

A Tripod (sturdier the better)

A cable release if you have one.

Filters, if you have any.

Few charged! camera batteries.

And a positive mindset! There is no failing in this. We're always learning to get better at what we do every single day!
