News Flash: Great light makes better photos!

Sounds simple, right? In this age of higher and higher ISO and cameras that can shoot in the dark I think it's easy to forget that. My Nikon D3S can shoot in relative darkness with ease and make beautiful files. The Olympus PEN E-P3, not so much. The Oly makes a...

Have some class!

I have just posted the first three of four photography and Lightroom classes I will be teaching in the Metro Atlanta area this fall. I have been wanting to teach a basic photography class for a while now, and I'm happy to offer "Exposure and Camera Basics" on...

Field Notes: RRS B150-B Macro focusing rail

I like to travel light and I don’t carry many specialized tools that only do one job. I recently purchased the B150-B Macro Focusing Rail from Really Right stuff. I mainly bought the macro rail to use with the new Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Lens, but I knew it would also work...

State of the Art

I have been using mirrorless cameras since before they were cool. If you’re shooting one of those new-fangled mirrorless cameras you’ll feel right at home on my workshops. If you’re using a DSLR, that’s OK too! I’m well-versed in all major camera brands.

Experience Counts

I’ve been a teaching photography and leading workshops since 2009. The local guides that I work with are experienced and professional. My colleagues and I work hard to share our knowledge and help you explore your photographic vision.

Building Relationships

My clients and I are fun people and we tend to attract good folks. There is more to a good photography workshop than your time behind the camera. The relationships you build are often the best part of any great travel experience.

Not Exactly Roughing It

I enjoy exploring uncharted territory, but I also like great food and clean rooms. I look for the best restaurants wherever I go, and I will never take you to a roach motel. I joke that my trips are actually culinary tours and we make pictures between meals.

What My Guests Are Saying.

This photography workshop was a great experience that provided numerous opportunities to learn more about photography and the local culture. Both the instructors and local guides are very knowledgeable and pointed out things that I would never have noticed on my own. This well-organized, fun, and friendly workshop was the best way to jumpstart my interest in photography.

Now, I understand why so many of you were returning participants! I would go back again too! Experiencing Costa Rica in such an up close and personal way was fabulous…. I must say that Leaves and Lizards was my favorite. OMG!! the VIEW!!! Thank you all for your help with our cameras and the fun time sharing photographs and life experiences. We learned so much. It was great! And a special thanks to Rob and Bob – you men were amazing!

Barbara Robinson

There was so many wonderful experiences it is hard to say which was my favorite. The expertise of our instructors was really made it. Nice to be able to ask questions while working instead of a traditional classroom setting.

Anne Nettles

It’s not every day or in life for that matter that you get an opportunity to share paradise with such diverse and talented people.

Thank you every one for being part of my life altering journey.

Kat Cunningham

This is my third trip [to Costa Rica]… I can honestly say that each time it has been wonderful, new, exciting and full of wonder. Many, many thanks to Rob and Bob, the A Team of photo instructors! Without a doubt, you guys worked your butts off to plan and execute one fantastic trip! THANK YOU!!!

For the Photography Enthusiast

and the Adventurous Traveler

Even if you’re not an experienced photographer, you’ll be right at home on my Costa Rica Photo Tours. I’ve spent the last fourteen years organizing tours that put the travel experience first. My tours focus on making you feel like part of the community, and not just another tourist. You’ll hang out with local people, eat delicious local food and, of course, see unbelievable wildlife. Bring your DSLR, your mirrorless camera, your point-and-shoot, your camera phone, or anything in between. I’ll bet you have the experience of a lifetime, and I’ll help you capture every magical moment.
