Workshops include private instruction and guiding only. Transportation, lodging, food and drink (excluding bottled water, which is always offered to participants, and sometimes pre-packaged snacks upon request) and any other necessities are the responsibility of the participant unless otherwise noted. Due to some of the rather "remote" terrain in the desert, I highly recommend renting a high clearance vehicle if you do not already own one. In rare instances and more remote areas, I may offer transportation.

Milky Way/Stars only Sessions are $350 per participant
($300 per participant for 2-4 participants). During March and April, the low arching milky way rises over the Sonoran Desert landscape. Despite being close to a few towns, it is possible to get excellent views of these dark skies. Join me and let me show you some of the dark skies just outside the city lights! These sessions begin in the field at 1am and last until the milky way and stars are gone into the morning skies (usually 4-5 hours). May through October these sessions begin just after sunset as the milky way can usually begin to be seen not long after the sun has set. All Milky Way and Night Photography workshops are coordinated around the new moon between the last quarter and first quarter. A deposit of $175 is required (per participant) to book this workshop which is non-refundable if there is a cancellation 30 days or less prior to the start of the workshop.

In Person Post Processing Sessions (minimum two hours, $150 per participant)
In person post processing sessions can be added to any of the above workshops at a discounted rate or as a stand along workshop if you just want to learn a few processing techniques without going out to photograph. Additional hours beyond the two hour minimum are $50 extra (per participant per hour). A laptop is required for this session and the latest version of Photoshop if possible.
