The 2025 Central Utah workshop is just the latest in many workshops I have taken with David and Jennifer. I consider each one as a step forward in my journey to become a better landscape photographer. Although the locations may be different from one workshop to the other, David and Jennifer are consistent in their teaching philosophy and guidance toward your own personal growth. The Central Utah workshop presented us with many different opportunities and subject matter to challenge our photographic vision. There was more variation in the Utah landscape than I had expected, and I came away with some shots that I am very happy with.
If you participate in photography workshops with the goals of learning new skills and wanting to get guidance on how you can realize your own self expression but have been told that there's only one "correct" way to photograph a scene, you will be delighted to find that David and Jennifer can help you find how to "do you". Your images can be your own and not necessarily look like everyone else's who came to the same scene. There are ample opportunities to learn ICM, finding abstracts and small scenes and experimenting with wide angle perspectives, but you can also approach things in your own way if you want; this is encouraged. I have found that this is the best way for me to personally grow as a photographer. Learn as much as you can about many techniques and then utilize that knowledge to advance your own style.
We were so fortunate on this workshop to have all kinds of dramatic weather (stormy clouds, a little snow) and we went to locations that took the best advantage of these changing conditions. Honestly, it was just fun!
Looking forward to more adventures and opportunities to learn and grow.
I just finished a second workshop with david and jennifer in central utah. I truly appreciate the hardwork and extensive preparation they do beforehand. You get all the information you could possibly need beforehand and during, such that you don't need to worry about anything. The whole workshop is designed to promote each participant's vision, learning and goals. From the first session to the last, the only focus was on giving us the tools to achieve what we want in our photography. They were there to give us personal guidance on how to accomplish what we wanted to do and helped us follow what we wished to shoot. In this setting I allowed myself to experiment and try out new things with my photography. I also feel my post processing has advance significantly as I understand now the logic of what I can do in lightroom. I highly recommend joining them as this is the best investment in your photography.
I just returned home from the Central Utah workshop. Despite the windy conditions I came home with a huge pile of photos to work through. David and Jennifer prepared us well for the conditions and provided excellent support while in the field. I can't say enough about their approach to teaching. They make themselves available for on the spot coaching and direction without making me feel silly for having asked the question. They have the ability to work with a wide range of photography skill levels across various formats (camera brand). I will be a repeat customer again as soon as I can afford to do so.
I am looking forward to playing with David's presets. I think that will help my processing skills greatly. I look forward to the release of this product as I am sure it will revolutionize my productivity.
