Our classes and workshops are skillfully crafted using Dwon Güvenir's "Tao of Photography" to teach photographers of ALL levels the skills necessary to master the art of their photography and the ability to capture any image in any condition with any camera. This isn't one of those workshops that just covers one specific model of camera's settings that doesn't do you any good out in the real world. You'll learn photography: any camera, any shooting condition! "Tao of Photography"
Our tours are carefully structured to enrich and excite photo-travelers from all over the world about the beauty and wonder of Oregon. We work hard to provide a rich full experience. As a photographer, you're looking for more than just a snapshot of a pretty place. You want to experience the character, history, culture, aesthetics and emotion of the locations you photograph, and you want to help preserve the beauty and majesty of those locations. Oregon Photo Safaris gives you the opportunity to live the Oregon experience and capture more than just amazing images. You'll capture the essence of Oregon, and take home a knowledge of the region's history and ecology that will make your photographs all the more meaningful. GeoTourism
