California Landscape & Night Sky

Photography Workshops

Join me for small-group landscape and night sky photography workshops designed around the new moon, when the skies are darkest and the Milky Way has a chance to show off like it pays rent.


These workshops are created for photographers who want to learn how to photograph dramatic desert landscapes, mountain views, star-filled skies, and beautiful natural light in some of California’s most iconic locations. Each trip is planned around seasonal conditions, moon phase, accessibility, and strong photographic opportunities.


Workshops may include sunrise, sunset, blue hour, and night sky photography depending on the location, weather, and time of year.
