"A Lot of Individual Attention"
"Because it was a small group, we knew we'd get a lot of individual attention. Both Greg and Lynda are very hands on and wanted to make sure we got wonderful photos... and we did!"

Frequently Asked Questions
What level of photography knowledge will I need?
All skill levels are welcome, with tailored support so everyone — beginner to advanced — keeps progressing throughout the week.
What physical shape do I need to be in?
Mostly flat terrain with minimal hill walking and rock stepping. You should be comfortable carrying your own gear up a flight of stairs.
Am I too old or too young for this workshop?
All ages are welcome — we've had guests from 18 to 80, with a genuine interest in learning as the only requirement.
Can my non-photographer companion join us?
Yes — non-photographers are welcome under the same pricing and booking terms.
Do I need to bring a drone?
Drone flights are encouraged and included in this workshop. Safe flying ability is required, but expertise is not — instruction is provided at approved locations.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancellations prior to 180 days before the workshop will receive either a full refund or credit to a future workshop minus a 10% administration fee. Cancellations within 90 days of the workshop cannot be refunded, but if we are able to fill the vacancy, you can receive a credit to a future workshop minus the administration fee. Workshop credits are good for one calendar year from the date of the missed workshop.
Cancellations within 30 days of the workshop (for any reason) will forfeit their entire registration fee as it is extremely difficult to fill the space on that short of notice.
