San Diego
Workshops & Photo Tours
Looking for a workshop or photo tour in San Diego? I offer private sessions designed around you, whether that means hands-on instruction, exploring hidden coastal spots, or simply learning to see in a new way. While my fine art work is rooted in black and white, I teach in both color and monochrome, always with a focus on light, mood, and personal vision.
I offer two ways to experience San Diego: Photo Tours, for anyone who wants to explore and discover the beauty of the area, and Workshops, for photographers who want to dive deeper into the craft.
San Diego Photo Tours
San Diego is home to some of the most beautiful coastlines in California, from rugged cliffs and quiet piers to tidepools and wide-open beaches. On a private photo tour, I’ll guide you to my favorite spots and tailor the experience to your pace and interests. Whether you’re a visitor or a local, this is a chance to slow down, explore, and see the city through fresh eyes.
Tour Options:
Sunrise or Sunset Shoot
Half-Day Photo Tour
Full-Day Photo Tour
In addition to the coastline, San Diego County is just a short drive from both mountains and deserts, offering a huge variety of landscapes to explore. I’m also available to travel throughout Southern California when my schedule allows.
Please note: Photo Tours do not include post-processing instruction. If you’d like to learn editing techniques, consider booking a Workshop below.
