This workshop was a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience! David and Jennifer set the tone for a fun loving, growth experience. A milieu was established where photographers of all experience levels were welcome and provided with the appropriate level of input and feedback. I was gently pushed beyond my comfort zone which is a great place to learn! I highly recommend their workshops.
I highly recommend David’s mentoring! David assisted me by reviewing my images and providing constructive feedback on composition and post processing. This was augmented by improving my post processing skills. Surprisingly, I was able to simplify and reduce post processing time, while significantly improving my ability to realize my artistic vision.
In regards to artistic vision, I thought it would take years to identify my artistic style; however, with David’s help I was able to reach that goal in a few weeks. He accomplished this by having me share the photographers I admire and guiding me through a subset of their images asking me to share which ones resonated with me. He then helped me to identify the attributes of my preferred artistic style and the weather conditions that lend themselves to my artistic/photographic vision.
Wherever you are in your photographic journey, David can assist! The best photographic investment I have ever made by far!
My first trip with David was in August 2014. My most recent trip with David and, now, Jennifer, was last month, October 2024. In between, I took 6 other trips to places including Death Valley, Anza Boreggo, Yellowstone and Coyote Buttes. I continue to travel with them because, first, and most important, they have scouted the areas and know where to go to find really good photographic opportunities. Their taste is impeccable. They get you where you want to be.
Almost equally important is that both of them are just good people. They are easy to relate to and fun to be around. They are patient and helpful, always concerned with the group and not their own work. And, speaking of their work, if you look at what they’ve done over the past few years, you will see how highly regarded their work is.
I have no doubt that I’ll be traveling again with them.
Hi Mark,
It's always a joy to see you, and your kind words truly made our day! Your continued support means the world to us, and it’s been an incredible journey sharing all these adventures together. We're thrilled to know that our scouting efforts and companionship have resonated with you, and we genuinely look forward to creating even more memorable experiences together in the future. Until the next adventure!
Warm regards,
David & Jennifer
During my private lesson with David, I requested processing advice for several images taken in Death Valley. I was so impressed that David did not take a formulaic approach, but rather, he took the time to discuss my personal style before beginning our session. His first question was: “Where do you want to take this image?”. He clearly wanted to explore and understand MY creative vision, before delving into the technical aspects of processing! To help me gain clarity, he asked permission to make a series of observations around some common elements that he had seen in my work, and asked me to provide feedback on his observations. With this approach, David did so much more for me than helping me process a few images, he helped me to identify, and embrace, my own creative style! I’m grateful to both David and Jennifer for helping me to learn and grow, and I’m finding so much more enjoyment in Photography now that I’m creating images that represent my own unique vision. I highly recommend their workshops, as well as online 1:1 sessions!
We're absolutely thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our private online mentoring session! Delving into your unique creative vision was a pleasure, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to explore and nurture your style alongside you. It's wonderful to know that our sessions have reignited your joy in photography, and on behalf of Jennifer and myself, thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation. We're excited to see where your newfound clarity and passion will take you next!
Once again, David and Jennifer provided us an educational and artistic experience in Yellowstone. Even though the weather was less than perfect, they know the Park so well, they were able to guide us to places that worked well with the weather we had. In addition to knowing the appropriate locations for various conditions and times, David and Jennifer provided both technical and artistic inputs to participants, in the field and classroom.
This was my third workshop with David and Jennifer. I highly recommend their workshops if you'd like to experience interesting places, learn new skills, and expand your photographic artistry under expert guidance.
We're thrilled to hear you had such an enriching experience with us in Yellowstone! Navigating the unpredictable weather is all part of the adventure, and we're delighted that our familiarity with the Park helped make the trip memorable for you. It's always a joy to share our technical and artistic perspectives and to see participants like you thrive. Thank you for your continued trust in our workshops; we can't wait to explore more captivating places with you in the future!
I am heaping praise on Jennifer and David’s Yellowstone Intimate Landscapes workshop. Their love for the park was contagious, and they provided ample opportunities for in field and classroom learning.
In the field, David and Jennifer pointed out photographic opportunities to consider and then gave us the opportunity to discover what engaged us visually and emotionally. If requested, they provided composition suggestions and instruction on techniques ranging from photo stacking to exposure blending.
Each afternoon participants shared images created during the workshop, with one of those session devoted to insightful but friendly image critique. Afternoon sessions also featured lectures on a range of topics, including black and white photo processing and contemplative photography.
In addition to these ample learning opportunities, participants enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the park and a collegial environment with a group of fun and talented photographers. This was an all-around fantastic photography workshop experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our Yellowstone Intimate Landscapes workshop! We're thrilled to hear that our passion for the park resonated with you and that you found the balance of fieldwork and classroom learning beneficial. Your feedback about the image critique and lecture sessions is highly appreciated, and we’re delighted that you enjoyed the camaraderie among participants. Jennifer and I look forward to creating more memorable and educational experiences in the future!
I have just come home from a wonderful week of photography with David and Jennifer -- and 7 very nice and talented participants -- in Yellowstone. David and Jennifer are excellent leaders, knowledgeable and helpful but low key, letting each of the participants photograph their vision, which is so important.
I learned a lot, had fun, and had the opportunity to photograph some amazing landscapes. This was flat out the most fun week of photography I have ever had. Thank you David and Jennifer for an amazing week.
P.S., I will be attending other workshops run by David and Jennifer!!

This was my second photography workshop with David and Jennifer. They're both very approachable and knowledgeable in the field and in their editing process. Their intimate knowledge of Yellowstone National Park is impressive and also very beneficial as they know the varying locations to get great photographic opportunities and can pivot at a moments notice if conditions change or aren't as favorable. They ensure their workshops are a great learning process and they meet you where you are with your photographic experience and your goals. I highly recommend their workshops and will hopefully be doing another one soon!

David and Jennifer ran a well run workshop. They struck an excellent balance between providing guidance and givinig participants the freedom they needed to make creative images. This included time in the field, classroom lessons and critiques. They were welcoming and encouraged camaraderie.

David did an excellent job of providing constructive criticism on my portfolio. He reviewed composition and suggested tweaks to my editing. ... After a few more sessions with David, I posted a more comprehensive review. See above.

It’s our mission to support and enhance your photography skills, and we’re glad that our suggestions made a positive impact on your work.

David and Jennifer work so hard to make their workshop first rate. On the field they stayed with us offering ideas, suggestions and help. They checked the weather conditions and planned the areas to visit accordingly. David even had a rainbow app to help us plan the rainbow timing at the waterfall!!1 The daily processing workshops were detailed, inspiring, and helpful. I enjoyed this photography workshop and highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Jennifer and I loved having you join us and are thrilled to hear you found the ideas and suggestions helpful. It's great to know that even our rainbow app added to your experience! We're passionate about making every workshop enriching and enjoyable, and we appreciate your high recommendation.
This was hands down the best photography workshop I’ve been on. David and Jennifer know how to balance both the technical and creative aspects of photography. They are extremely encouraging and check in on you during shooting sessions just the right amount. I learned so many things well beyond what I expected. This workshop helped me step up my game big time. Stop reading reviews and just sign up already!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the workshop and that both the technical and creative guidance helped you step up your game. It was a pleasure having you with us, and your enthusiasm truly made the experience special for everyone. Can't wait to see the amazing photos you continue to capture!
This workshop was phenomenal thanks to David and Jennifer. They are both fantastic photography instructors individually, but as a team, they shine. Not to mention, they know Yellowstone inside and out - they knew where to go, and when, for amazing photography opportunities. They are there to support you, answer questions, or let you "do your own thing". Yellowstone is a photographer's paradise with opportunities for a variety of photography - grand landscapes, intimate scenes, abstract, ICM, you name it! I walked away with a new love of for the small scene, and new techniques to apply. Another great thing about the workshops that David and Jennifer lead are the participants they attract. Our group was great and really clicked - no "know it all" participants or folks not willing to listen and learn. Great people attract great people! 100% recommend!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! Jennifer and I are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the workshop and appreciated our knowledge of Yellowstone. It’s wonderful to know that you walked away with new techniques and a fresh perspective on photography. We’re also glad that the group dynamics added to your experience. We’re looking forward to seeing you on another adventure soon!
On our own, we would have been so lost wandering up and down the Narrows looking for the light to hit those canyon walls just right but Jennifer and David had it timed to perfection and we spent the day moving from one jaw dropping scene to the next. Jennifer and David also gave wonderful instruction and worked with each participant one-on-one to help everyone at their own level. I especially appreciated their individual approach that opened up more possibilities for my own photography. They were great at working with me and guiding me to realize my own vision.
The practice and play work we did along the river to learn more about photographing intimate scenes was fun and useful.
The whole workshop was great fun and the camaraderie of the group was fantastic. I couldn't have been happier with the workshop overall.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our timing and guidance in the Narrows, and we're delighted that our individual approach resonated with you and enhanced your photography journey. It means a lot to us that the practice along the river and the group camaraderie made the workshop memorable for you. We can't wait to see how you continue to develop your vision, and we hope to explore more stunning scenes together in the future!
I have been privileged to take a few workshops in Death Valley with David and Jennifer. I am always very pleased with the experience and results. They are incredibly knowledgeable about photographic opportunities in the area and are able to select best locations based on the weather conditions.
We're so thrilled to hear that you've enjoyed our Death Valley workshops! It means the world to us that you value our knowledge and the locations we choose. Thank you for your kind words and for being a part of our journey. We can't wait to see you on future adventures!
David and Jennifer were great teachers and the Zions workshop was out of this world. They both were wonderful guides and knew when and where to be for the optimal lighting conditions. David and Jennifer also share their unique expertise when it comes to photography and together, offer some great advice. I've been on several workshops with David always come away with something new and I definitely enjoyed this location.
We're so glad you enjoyed the Zion workshop! It's always a delight having you on our adventures, and we're thrilled to hear our guidance and advice have been valuable to you. We look forward to seeing you on our next journey and discovering new places together. Thank you for the kind words!
This workshop was nothing short of fantastic. David & Jennifer make themselves available in all aspects of the work. They do an excellent job of scouting locations prior to the workshop to ensure that attendees have the chance to capture the best possible photos while on location. I would strongly recommend taking any workshop from David & Jennifer. They are kind and smart about all things photography.
Death Valley lends itself easily to the black & white format and David & Jennifer are well-placed to ensure that attendees get the best chance to capture those images that most fit one's personal style.
Don't delay, sign up for this unique photography course today!
We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Black & White Magic workshop! It means so much to us that our dedication to scouting and preparation made a positive impact on your experience. Your kind words about our knowledge and approach truly warm our hearts. Thank you for your glowing recommendation, and we can't wait to have you join us on another adventure soon!
The Crested Butte Wildflower Workshop by David and Jennifer exceeded my expectations! I especially appreciate their gentle manner of individualized instruction, and desire to see us improve our skills artistically and/or technically. They are very knowledgeable of the area, and took us to sites that they researched in the days prior to the workshop to take advantage of the best locations for the variety of scenes we would be photographing: wildflowers vistas and close-ups, sunrise / sunset on a mountain or range, an aspen grove, lake (pond) reflections, and waterfalls. Often, they would shoot a scene with their cameras, and show me how they saw the scene through their lens, and the settings, filters, focal length, etc they used to accomplish that. I had fun with Jennifer showing me some techniques to get abstract images, and both of them pointed out good composition opportunities. Their teaching approach is balanced between time in the field shooting, and classroom processing techniques. I came in with a love for the art of photography, and they elevated my skills so I will enjoy my lifetime passion even more! Overall, it was such a fun and rewarding photography workshop, and a highlight of my photography experiences!
We're thrilled to hear that you had such a rewarding experience at the Crested Butte Wildflower Workshop! It was a joy for Jennifer and me to share our passion and techniques with you. We loved exploring those beautiful locations together and are so glad to hear that our individualized instruction helped elevate your photography skills. We hope to see you again on another adventure and continue this creative journey together!
I just got back from an amazing workshop in Crested Butte with Exploring Exposure, and I had a great time. David and Jennifer took us to beautiful places and I got some portfolio photos. They were very helpful with setting up compositions and provided excellent feedback. The workshop group size was small so David and Jennifer were able to provide a lot of personal attention to each participant. Plus they were truly nice people to hang out with. I highly recommend Exploring Exposure workshops!
We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic experience in Crested Butte! It was a pleasure exploring those stunning vistas with you and being part of your photographic journey. We're glad our guidance and feedback were helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the small group dynamic too. Thank you for the high recommendation—hope to see you on another adventure soon!
I recently attended my first photography workshop led by David Kingham and Jennifer Renwick of Exploring Exposure. From sunrise to sunset, our days were long but incredibly rewarding. This workshop exceeded my expectations in several ways.
One of the standout features was that the instructors rented 4x4 jeeps to transport us to various locations. This allowed us to access remote areas and cover much more ground than we could have by driving to trailheads and hiking. The combination of extensive hours and enhanced mobility enabled us to capture a wide range of light conditions across diverse landscapes. It was both fun and practical, maximizing our shooting opportunities throughout the day.
David and Jennifer were excellent instructors - approachable, knowledgeable, and attentive. They made sure to spend time with each participant, offering personalized guidance. While they provided helpful technical advice on camera settings, I found their insights on composition particularly valuable. The principles they shared will undoubtedly influence my approach to photography across various genres.
A highlight for me was the processing session led by David. Despite my years of experience in photography and post-processing, I learned new techniques that will streamline my workflow, improve my results, and save time. These are definitely going into my regular editing routine.
Overall, this workshop offered a great balance of in-field shooting, technical instruction, and post-processing guidance. The instructors' expertise, combined with the unique locations we were able to access, made for an enriching and memorable experience. I highly recommend Exploring Exposure workshops to photographers looking to elevate their skills and explore beautiful landscapes.
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that our workshop not only met but exceeded your expectations. The Jeeps definitely do add a unique element, allowing us to reach those hidden gems, and we're glad you found both the technical and composition advice valuable. It was a pleasure having you, and we look forward to possibly seeing you in another workshop soon! Keep capturing those stunning landscapes!
Excellent presentation. Unique process for B&W.
Top notch
We truly appreciate your kind words about our presentation! Jennifer and I are thrilled you enjoyed our unique approach to black and white photography. Your feedback means the world to us, and we look forward to seeing you at future events. Warm regards, David.
The winter workshop in Yellowstone was truly a unique experience and adventure that no other workshop offers. Being inside the park at the yurt camp gave us the advantage of being at locations much earlier and staying later than would have been possible had we travelled into and out of the park each day. The yurt camp was clean and cozy, and the hospitality of the staff was exceptional. David and Jennifer did an excellent job planning and coordinating with personnel at the camp, allowing us to concentrate on our photography and enjoy the experience of winter in Yellowstone.
We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the winter workshop in Yellowstone and found the yurt camp both cozy and convenient! It was our pleasure to handle the planning so you could focus on capturing the beauty of the park. Your kind words about our coordination and the camp's hospitality mean a lot to us. Looking forward to sharing more adventures with you!
I have done quite a few photography workshops and what David and Jennifer is offering is so unique and special that is on a whole other level. They truly care about their clients' learning and progress in photography. I did a six day Yellowstone intimate photography workshop and it was the most exhilarating significant experience in my photography journey so far. Their only focus was for each of us to connect to ourselves and to nature on a much deeper level and find ways to express ourselves using nature. They gave us all the tools we needed, the inspiration and excitement before going out as well as the feedback and support we wanted in the field. Their ability to provide the guidance while giving us the space to find our own way and vision was so different than other photography guides. In addition, David provided extremely valuable post processing tips that will make this this part so much easier. I highly recommend them as they give their all to their clients before during and after the workshop.
We are deeply moved by your wonderful words. Jennifer and I are thrilled to know that our Yellowstone workshop was such a pivotal moment in your photography journey. It warms our hearts to hear that our focus on personal connection and expression resonated with you. Thank you for your high recommendation; we're excited to continue supporting your creative endeavors!
Jennifer and David's Intimate Details workshop in Yellowstone was outstanding! They have extensive knowledge about the area which was very helpful when navigating the busy park at the best times to avoid traffic congestion as well as diverting to a different location if necessary. In four days we were able to shoot a huge variety of intimate and wider scenes from geysers to waterfalls to autumnal grasses to bacterial mat details. The afternoon post processing sessions were incredibly helpful for me. Jennifer and David have an obvious love and respect for nature. They were very kind and supportive to all of the participants and I could not have asked for a better experience. I will most definitely be doing another one of their workshops!
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We’re thrilled that our Intimate Details workshop in Yellowstone exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the variety of scenes we explored together. It’s wonderful to hear that the post-processing sessions were helpful for you. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we can’t wait to see you at another workshop soon!
The Crested Butte Wildflowers workshop was the third workshop I have attended with David and Jennifer. All three provided a professional learning experience, not only from a photography perspective, but also from being taken to locations that are off the beaten path that I would never have found on my own. This has real value for me. David and Jennifer complement each other perfectly with their own sets of specialized knowledge. If you have an interest in abstracts, Jennifer is your go-to person. If night landscapes are your thing, David is the expert. Between the two of them, all the bases are covered, including post-processing. I especially enjoy the critique sessions during the workshops, which offer valuable advice and direction to composition skills and post processing. I hope to be able to attend more workshops with David and Jennifer in the future.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with our workshops! We're thrilled to hear that you found such great value in the locations we take you to and the specialized knowledge we bring. Your kind words about our complementary skills mean a lot to us. We look forward to having you join us on more adventures and helping you continue to grow your photography!
