Designed for You

My photo tours are open to photographers of any level, from beginners using their smartphones to those with years of experience using professional camera gear. These tours are private experiences for individuals or small groups, custom-tailored to your skill level.

Every photographer is unique, so I offer personalized photography tours. They are designed to meet your specific photography goals. Whatever your needs, we're here to help you achieve your goals and exceed your expectations.


During the Photo Tour

I will guide you to my favorite locations along the canyon's rim. You will get to work alongside me and see what I see through my viewfinder as I share my approach to making the types of photographs that end up on the covers of magazines and books.

During the photo tour, I will demonstrate creating images with strong foregrounds, working with leading lines, and layering elements within the landscape. You will also learn how to work with challenging lighting conditions, evaluate the camera's histogram, and make the best exposure possible. Ultimately, you can take what you learn from me and apply it to any location or subject.
