Our classes and workshops are skillfully crafted by Dwon Guvenir, Craftsman Photographer (Cr.Photog.) 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. You'll learn photography: any camera, any shooting condition!
Recognizing his excellence and integrity in the field of photographic education, Professional Photographers of America (PPA) awarded Dwon Guvenir the coveted Photographic Craftsman (Cr.Photog.) degree on January 15th, 2012. The Cr.Photog. degree is the highest honor in the world of photography for orators, authors and educators. The degree is awarded to photographers who have gone above and beyond the creation of images and dedicated themselves to move the industry forward and encourage excellence in education.

Registered Oregon Outfitter/Guide
Oregon Photo Safaris is an Oregon licensed, bonded and insured outfitter/guide. Photography Instructors accepting fees for providing outdoor classes, workshops or safaris, must be registered outfitter/guides with the Oregon State Marine Board.
This has been Oregon law since 1984. Ask to see the instructor's registration card.
You can verify guide registrations by calling (503) 378-8587.
Please don’t fall victim to illegal outdoor photo classes, workshops or safaris. Your safety is important to us.
Becoming an Oregon Licensed Guide is easy. If the business is properly insured and has employees with valid first aid cards it only costs $50 to register for a guide license. Before headding out with someone who isn't licensed ask yourself why wouldn't they be? Either they don't have $50, don't want to learn First Aid, aren't insured, or just really don't like obeying the law.
