He makes every effort to ensure that your time together addresses all your questions. It is his goal that you take away the knowledge to create beautiful, compelling images and fond memories of time well spent.

WHAT TO EXPECT :

You will learn during all phases of your time with Nathaniel regardless of whether it is in a group setting on one of his tours, or in a private one on one session. With private instruction the format can easily be tailored to your specific needs. Either way Nathaniel will provide guidance to technical aspects such as the secrets to strong composition; mastering depth of field for every situation; harnessing the light through exposure control; finding the correct color in the world of white balance; reading your histogram like a book and how to maximize the capabilities of your equipment to get the results you want to see in your work. Nathaniel has made it a personal discipline throughout his career to build a portfolio featuring images that span the wide and varied spectrum of nature photography and not limit himself in a narrow, specialized category. So whether you want to shoot sweeping landscapes or detailed macro, wildlife or birds in flight, he has the experience in all areas to capture the image you want. That being said, all the technical know-how in the world doesn’t help if you can’t find alluring subjects. To this end Nathaniel will guide you to the best shooting locations at the right times, and provide decades of expertise that will allow you to get close to elusive wildlife.
