Master Bird Photography in Florida
I will be offering instruction for Nikon and Olympus (OM System) users exclusively
Join me in South Florida to immerse yourself in the art of bird photography. Each day, we will download and process our images together as a group, receive critiques, and learn my end to end workflow for creating the best possible images using Adobe Lightroom Classic (or ACR), Photoshop, and Topaz AI plug-ins.
This workshop is limited to 8 participants for a personalized experience and maximum instruction time. Because of the small group size, I'm able to offer a more intimate instructional style that allows each participant to get the knowledge they need to succeed.
