Master the Art of Landscape & Night Sky Photography
Elite field masterclasses, advanced post-processing mentorship, and fine art prints for photographers chasing exceptional results.
Destination Masterclasses
Small-group, immersive expeditions to iconic locations like Yosemite and Death Valley. Max 6 participants.
Private 1-on-1 Mentorship
Tailored, field-guided field masterclasses built entirely around your schedule, skill level, and creative goals.
Advanced Post-Processing
Go beyond the basic sliders. Learn advanced exposure blending, color grading, and masking from anywhere in the world.
Driven by light.
Focused on your growth.
Nature doesn’t always cooperate. Coming home with portfolio-grade imagery requires more than just understanding manual mode—it requires knowing how to read changing light, master technical field execution, and bridge the gap between a RAW file and a finished fine art print.
As a locally licensed, fully permitted instructor based in Southern California, my mission is to eliminate the guesswork from your creative process. Whether we are tracking the Milky Way core in a certified dark sky or editing a complex file over screen-share, you get direct, hands-on guidance designed to fast-track your unique vision.
Bring the Extraordinary Indoors
Signature, limited-edition museum-grade acrylic and metal prints captured throughout the American West.
Fall Over The Rainbow
Some mornings in the Eastern Sierra demand you endure the elements for a reward you can't predict. This was one of those mornings. Amidst heavy winds and a biting autumn chill, the sun broke through the light rain just long enough to cast a perfect rainbow over the changing leaves. "Fall Over The Rainbow" is a celebration of that precise moment where the storm meets the light, creating a color palette that feels both high-energy and deeply peaceful.
Lost Dutchman's Glow
Experience the magic of an Arizona midnight. This print brings the majestic Superstition Mountains and the shimmering Milky Way into your home. Featuring the iconic Cholla cactus bathed in starlight, this composition celebrates the unique textures and vast scales of the American Southwest. Perfect for those who find peace under a blanket of stars.
Twisted Light
Standing at over 10,000 feet in the White Mountains, the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is home to the oldest living things on Earth. "Twisted Light" focuses on a skeleton of one of these giants—a tree that may have lived for millennia and now stands as a silvered monument to time. Captured during a fleeting moment of golden light, the "twisted" texture of the wood is brought to life, highlighting the incredible resilience required to survive in such a harsh, high-altitude environment.
El Matador Burner
"El Matador Burner" was captured during one of those rare Southern California evenings where the sky seems to actually catch fire. Standing among the monolithic sea stacks of Malibu, I waited for the precise moment when the receding tide created a perfect mirror on the sand. The result is a "burner" sunset—a sky so saturated with color it feels almost otherworldly. This piece isn't just a landscape; it's a capture of the Pacific's most intense energy.
