Testimonials

Frank B.

Svalbard

As a multi-traveler with photo excursions I have never experienced better image reviews. First, the fact that there are reviews at all, second working directly in the Lightroom software and last the comments and proposals from Ceci and Lisa that most resulted in better photos.

Svalbard

Ceci and Talor were constantly teaching, modeling photo techniques, and making suggestions. Whether in the field taking pictures or in the lounge editing, they were available. Even though I've done a few other workshops, I still learned more on this one.

Sue D.

Wild Utah

Both Wayne and Ceci were readily available during every shoot. They worked hard to be sure that they touched base with everyone during the shoots, to address questions, provide feedback on composition, and anything else we needed. Wayne was great at calling out recommended settings for the night shoots, showing good patience with requests to repeat, etc. I learned far more than expected and had a blast because of the good manner in which both Wayne and Ceci worked with us.

Ceci is a wonderful instructor. I always learn from the trips she leads.

Larry C.

Wild Utah

Every time I listen to Ceci, I learned something new. The videos, demonstrations and one-on-one help was invaluable. The follow up, post workshop availability is an huge plus for me to get the final tweaks and improvements on my images. That feature is a big plus for your workshops.

This is my third workshop with Ceci and I love how she educates us about wildlife, environment, etc.
