Private Field Photography in the Canadian Rockies
Put your camera skills into practice during a private, two-hour landscape photography session at one agreed location in Banff, Canmore or Kananaskis. Working alongside you outdoors, I provide hands-on guidance with composition, camera settings and responding to the available light.
We’ll explore the scene together, considering viewpoints, foreground details and exposure choices while you photograph. The session focuses on practical experience you can build on during your own outings.
USD 500 · Two hours · One agreed location
Please arrange your own transportation to and from the location. These sessions do not include the Icefields Parkway, Bow Lake or Yoho National Park.
Online Landscape Photography Mentoring
Build confidence in your photographic decisions through a private session focused on your interests and experience. Whether you’re learning to use your camera or refining an established approach, we can explore composition, exposure, natural light and planning your landscape shoots.
Bring the questions you find difficult to resolve on your own. Together, we’ll discuss practical approaches, explain why different techniques work and identify what you can practise next. The session gives you space to ask questions and concentrate on the areas most relevant to your progress.
Available online worldwide · USD 100 per hour
Photography Image Review
Understand what works in your photographs and where a different approach could strengthen them. This private image review offers constructive feedback on composition, light, visual balance and editing choices, with attention to what you wanted to express.
We’ll discuss how foreground details, distracting elements, cropping and colour influence the finished photograph. You’ll receive practical suggestions to help you evaluate your work more confidently and make thoughtful decisions when shooting or processing your next images. Available online to photographers worldwide.
Lightroom and Photoshop Editing Coaching
Develop a more confident editing workflow through private online coaching in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Learn how to assess a landscape photograph, decide which adjustments it needs and use editing tools with a clear purpose.
Sessions can focus on exposure and colour adjustments, selective masking, balancing highlights and shadows, and preserving texture while directing attention through the image. Choose a focused two-hour session to address specific challenges or a seven-lesson course for more extended guidance.
Two-hour coaching: USD 350 · Seven-lesson course: USD 2,000
