A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
Each photography workshop we offer is a unique educational experience. Our Photo Guides have lived and worked in Yosemite for many years and will help you discover some of the park’s lesser known shooting locations. Participants may choose their subjects and specific topics, and our professional photographer will plan an interpretive tour especially for each student. Further, their main focus will be on improving your photography (not their own) throughout the entire session to ensure that you leave Yosemite with a new found knowledge and some of the best photos in your library. It is that personal attention that separates us from our competitors.
Yosemite National Park Custom Photography Workshops are a way to photograph from a different perspective. They are open to photo enthusiasts of all experience levels in every season. Guaranteed smaller class sizes with a better student teacher ratio. If a session is not scheduled on our Calendar, we will customize one for you. Dynamic Pricing is available on all tours. The price per person will decrease as the size of the group increases.
