Winner of the Astronomy Photographer of the Year | Full Story >
This year I am are offering Private Workshops for those who desire a one-on-one learning experience. Your workshop will be expertly tailored to your specific needs to help guide YOU towards capturing and creating YOUR personal, artistic vision. Our time together will allow YOU the freedom to immerse yourself in the learning process at YOUR speed.
These personalized workshops are structured around all skill levels from beginner to professional photographers seeking a much more intensified and personal approach. I will specifically tailor our time together around YOUR interest with your schedule. Topics may include:
All private workshops will take place around the incredible and diverse area of Mount Shasta. During your private instruction, you will be free from big city lights, allowing you to enjoy star-filled nights under a rich and complex wilderness backdrop. This snow-covered, sacred landmark towering over the Shasta Trinity National Forest, is just 60 miles south of the Oregon border in wooded northern California. Glacial streams provide moisture for lush meadows teaming with wildflowers, great pine and red fir forests, high alpine lakes, tumbling streams and dramatic waterfalls.
Private
YOU Decide
“To provide you with the best personal learning environment possible, I limit my class size and NEVER bring my own camera to a class.“
Your 3-day or 5-day, private workshop begins with a consultation with Brad to determine what YOU would like to focus on during your time together. Learn at a slower or faster pace in all aspects related to photography and post processing. Want to focus on strengthening your compositions? Do you struggle with post processing? Want to learn about time-lapse photography? How about spending a couple nights in the backcountry? Anything is possible during your private workshop because this experience is designed specifically around YOU.
During your private workshop, we can shoot two or three nights at various locations throughout the Mount Shasta area, and end with a 4-hour post processing session. If you prefer to focus primarily on post processing, we can spend 3 days covering all aspects of post processing, data storage management, and large-format printing.
You will receive a copy of our customized workshop booklet with step-by-step instructions about all phases of post processing for personal reference. During all field work, we will follow “Leave No Trace” principles to minimize any impact on the environment. With at least 65 topics you may choose to work on:
$2,995.00 – $4,495.00

“I recently took a private workshop from Brad. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend it. It was by far the best workshop I’ve ever participated in. Prior to the workshop, Brad asked me for a list of things I wanted to cover and he succeeded in covering each topic. The entire experience was tailored to my needs. Brad even brought his equipment in case mine malfunctioned, which it did! He offered as much or as little assistance as I wanted and although we were on a time schedule, the pace was very relaxed & enjoyable. It was a lot of fun. I went on some exciting adventures & took some beautiful pictures in the process. I stayed at a cute Airbnb cabin which made our meetings for the workshop very easy. I’ve had editing questions since I’ve gotten back home and he’s kindly answered them. In short, it costs a bit more than a group workshop, but the experience is far better.”
