You're Invited! Premium Hands-On Photography Workshops in
Italy, Mexico, and France

Do you love taking photographs but can't capture what you see? 

This is the truth: you don't need a $3000 camera. And its not Photoshop either. 

Here's the secret. 

It's all about your vision. Not your pixels. You can learn how to see in a new way. 

Your photos can be amazing with any camera even if you've never picked up a camera before, iphones and androids included. How?

You absolutely get the benefit of the insights and skills of being an award winning  photographer and business owner for 35 years in the heart of  Silicon Valley.
Let's get going!

You're invited to travel with me in Italy, Mexico, and France.

What is Street Photography? 

Taking photos of architecture, stealth shots of people, and how to be invisible when you're  shooting in public. 


You'll learn how to master Light, Composition, Angle, and Timing will always give you an incredible photo. 

Which means:


You'll take stunning photos with any camera (or phone) by shooting with me and seeing light in a new way, choosing an angle, composing your shot, and practicing your timing. And it's fun! 

You don't have to know anything technical. No requirement to know Photoshop or any complicated software. And it's guaranteed you'll come home with gorgeous photos. How?

You learn how to see the photo before capturing it. 


Here's what participants are saying and I'm loving it,
Read the reviews on my private worldwide workshops and Airbnb programs I've led in San Francisco.

See video testimony when you scroll down on this page, because authentic people giving their uncensored thoughts on what they learned in my workshops and how fun it was is better than anything I can say here. 


See video testimony below:

​
I love my job! This is my passion to help you see this gorgeous world we live in, in a new way.

What do you need to bring? 


Short Answer: your enthusiasm. And any fully charged camera or phone.
​
You can join me in Mexico, Paris, 
Rome, Amalfi Coast, or Sicily to take incredible photographs, escape, have a wild adventure, and meet new friends. 


You get the benefit of my 35-year photography business in the heart of Silicon Valley being paid $500 per hour starting in 1985.

One on one, photography workshop adventures in the most gorgeous places in the world.
​4 to 6 participants only. Not a gaggle of people crowding one another with selfie sticks!

You'll come home with incredible photographs that will stun your friends, they'll ask you, "How did you get this photograph?"

Here's what Shirley McClintock said about her experience in Oaxaca City this week with me,
"You did it again. You knocked it out of the park. Beautiful city, great food, good company, and wonderful instruction. You have those leadership qualities that we all wish we had.
​I learned more about composition and what makes a great photo. You have certainly found your calling and excel at it."
