Instructional Program

Custom lessons built around four core pillars

1. Camera Mastery

To truly master your camera, you should be able to confidently choose the right settings for any subject—adjusting exposure, focus, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and modes instinctively to achieve the creative result you want.

2. Composition & Lighting

Understand how to build strong, compelling images by studying light—its direction, quality, and intensity—and by exploring the history of composition from classical painting to modern photography. Learn how timeless visual principles translate directly into creating photographs that feel intentional and artful.

3. Storytelling Through Photography

Learn to create compelling landscape and wildlife photographs by mastering timing, understanding animal behavior, and reading the relationship between subject and environment. Build stronger storytelling by capturing rare, meaningful moments that define a scene.

4. Real-World Fieldcraft & Outdoor Skills

Gain practical knowledge for shooting wildlife, landscapes, night skies, and outdoor adventure. Learn how to work safely, read conditions, stay organized, and apply your technical skills in dynamic environments.

How Lessons Are Structured

• Custom syllabus based on your gear, interests, and goals

• Clear handouts and quick-reference sheets to reinforce learning

• Your choice of classroom instruction, hands-on fieldwork, or a blended approach

• Real-world practice in the environments you want to master—wildlife, scenic landscapes, night skies, or outdoor adventure
