Getting back to a Goldpaint workshop was a delight after a pandemic and a lot of caretaking challenges had limited my nightsky shooting for several years. Night sky creates such an intimate connection to creation, to the sacred for me. Shasta is also central to my Peruvian practices and the area around Shasta is filled with beauty and inspiration.
I chose this shot because the soft moonlight and reflections in the water felt so calming. With a major move and a new grandchild (our first), I am slowly finding time to work on processing. This shot was the one I selected to work on my processing skills and navigate using the tools that Brad has developed for nightscape workflow. I loved that so many of the newer features were addressed and explained. Thank you Brad for re-igniting my love for night sky photography.
Brad goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone is comfortable and getting the help they need, both out in the field and in post-processing. He is always there to answer any questions and he does so with kindness and patience. The small class size is perfect, and because he does not bring his own camera to the workshops, it allows him to spend quality time with each participant. – Jenny
Brad bleeds excellence in everything photography-related. He is kind, intelligent, quick-witted, knowledgeable, but most of all, caring. At no additional cost, Brad offered to lead during extra nights when weather threatened planned photoshoot evenings. He purposefully left behind his camera to ensure focus on helping students.– Roger
I just attended my third Goldpaint Photography 5 day workshop in beautiful Mt. Shasta. That alone should tell you a lot about Brad’s workshops. I love Brad’s work professionally and love that he teaches his own processes to his students. He is the only instructor of workshops I have attended who does NOT bring his own camera. His full attention is on his students.– Patricia
