Nature and Travel Photography Workshops
Our approach is different.
We believe that ditching the phone allows you to have a deeper connection with your subject—and the ability to photograph it authentically.
Our unique photography workshops balance exploration with skill-building. There’s no better way to learn than in the field photographing the subjects that you’re passionate about.
We don’t just take you places to photograph. We focus on building meaningful connections to those places so that you can capture that feeling.
“THANK YOU, Cobi. I have been to several (4 I think) workshops, and while the leader knew about their camera, they didn’t know how to teach, or to help me use mine. You were a triple threat: A GREAT TEACHER (as a student of teaching and a teacher of teachers for 30 years, I know good teaching when I see it), A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER, and, A GREAT HUMAN BEING.”— Lori
