Workshop Testimonials
I went into Colby's workshop as someone who is really passionate about photography and wanted to boost my photos to the next level. I received gentle guidance and the opportunity to work alongside other amazing photographers in such an amazing location, all pieces that gave me a great experience. Colby's workshop helped me get to that next level of photos that made this experience truly amazing by curating a trip that gave me the best locations and weather possible. The atmosphere of this workshop was always a positive one where everyone had the chance to work together as equals and have lots of one-on-one opportunities both with Colby and with other workshop participants. Overall, I would recommend this workshop for anyone looking for a great experience with very effective instruction and guidance!
Learning to shoot macro was such an interesting & productive experience - I was really amazed & excited to see what I accomplished! It is so cool to see the outcome of our work! Colby & his helpers were really so great &, although I really had no idea what I was doing, I learned a lot & got some good shots! Thanx so much, Colby, I look forward to your next adventure! Also, as I said before, I am so grateful to the Colby for being so helpful & fun!
Not sure what I was looking for other than an adventure and some photography time when I signed up, I was surprised with the amount of knowledge I took away from this trip. Learning what to look for, how to delve deeper into your compositions and better post processing tips have all truly changed my photography for the better.
...to learn and grow.
I had no expectations as I prepared for Colby's workshop in Myanmar. What I wanted the most from this trip was the experience of exploring an ancient culture and the opportunity for an amazing adventure, but what I walked away with was so much more.
One of the things I really appreciated the most about working with Colby is the way he pushes you beyond your boundaries in photography. Until this workshop, I spent most of my time photographing in aperture priority mode with auto-focus. This workshop encouraged me to explore and embrace my camera's manual mode. Now, I'm not new to manual mode--I spend every Milky Way season in manual mode and manual focus--but shooting the night sky in manual isn't really a challenge. However, when you're in conditions with fast-changing and dynamic lighting, you really need to think about how each setting affects your image. Colby's deep technical knowledge and his ability to teach will leave a lasting impression on you as a student... no question is too simple nor too complex.
Thank you Colby (and Erin and Koye!) for an amazing but exhausting trip in Myanmar. This was an experience I will never forget and l'm looking forward to my next adventure with Colby.
Out of a handful of Iceland Photography Tours I've researched, Colby's quick responses to my queries put me at ease with what was expected. The trip itself was an absolute blast - I've never traveled with a nicer group of people, and Colby, with his sidekick, Peyton, made sure everyone was well taken care of.
The weather in Iceland is unpredictable, and can change in a matter of hours. Colby and Peyton used their extensive experience to move the group away from incumbent weather and put us in locations that had the best available light. The proof is in the pictures we took.
At the very last day of the trip, I decided to signed up for next year's Patagonia tour.
I had been stuck in a photographic rut, suffering from a major lack of motivation for quite some time prior to joining the Iceland winter workshop. Taking a chance and joining this workshop has done wonders for my photography. It really helped me gain new motivation and refined skills moving forward. Colby and Pedro are amazing instructors and also masters of logistics when it came to navigating the extreme weather we encountered during our trip. I am extremely satisfied with their fortitude and effort when it came down to putting us in the best locations with given weather challenges throughout the duration of the workshop!
