Join me on Whidbey Island for a hands-on photography workshop that celebrates the art of seeing details often overlooked. While there will be opportunities for a wide variety of photography, I feel this diverse landscape lends itself best for close-up macro finds, small scenes, minimalism, and creative abstracts. There is plenty of wildlife, including birds, across the island that we are sure to encounter along the way. Even though most of the time will be spent photographing the natural landscape, expect a stop or two where we can interpret what nature and time do to human-made structures. These can provide fascinating abstracts.

We’ll explore techniques that sharpen your eye and expand your artistic vision. This course includes both guided field sessions and class time, ranging from group image reviews to engaging presentations, including a processing demonstration. If you are interested in looking beyond grand vistas and discovering new ways to tell visual stories with photography, this session will be for you. Come with us as we explore pebble beaches, piles of driftwood, rocky tide pools, and much more that the island has to offer.
