Workshop Testimonials
This trip to Namibia was my second trip with Colby and I plan on a third with him in January 2023 in Costa Rica. Colby has traveled globally for decades and has a deep understanding of each country where he offers workshops. This is advantageous for us as he has done all the advanced groundwork and location scouting, optimizing our time. Colby also secured the best accommodations as we traveled to each spot in Namibia. Both workshop groups were small enough for individual attention when needed and diverse enough to provide each other with our unique photographic perspectives. We ranged in age from early 20's to mid-70's and varied in our skill level but we were a cohesive and mutually supportive group. I look forward to photographing hummingbirds and learning new macro skills with Colby in January.
I had the pleasure of joining Colby's Patagonia workshop in April 2023. The amount of planning and effort put into the tour by Colby and Pedro both ahead of time, as well as on the ground during the trip, were clear from day one.
We got very lucky with the weather and only had one rained-out day, which served as some well-timed downtime for editing photos from the first half the trip. Every other day was put to good use, with things to do from sunrise to sunset, including a pre-dawn hike to see first light on mount Fitz Roy, to astrophotography; and while the trip focused on landscapes, we still had plenty of opportunities to see wildlife.
All of this was supported by behind-the-scenes efforts by Colby and Pedro, who were often awake long before anyone else in the group, checking the weather for sunrise shoots, and making calls about the best way to start the day.
I have wanted to see/photograph the Dolomites, I’ve done other workshops with Colby before and when I saw his Dolomites workshop I knew it would be just what I wanted. He didn’t disappoint! Colby is very knowledgeable and helpful. He knows the area and where to get the best out of the weather conditions to get wonderful photos. He is very personable and responsive to questions you have about how to get what you want out of a shot. I highly recommend any of his workshops!
In 2019 I joined Colby's Norway-Lofoten Islands workshop in February. Colby and his team of Pedro and Brian are highly professional, polite, humble, knowledgeable and always available and willing to help and teach. All arrangements right from airport pickup, workshop content, hotel accommodations, and time management were highly professional, even in the face of dealing with challenging weather.
I am looking forward to Colby's upcoming trip to South Georgia and many more trips with Colby. It is so good to work with you Colby!
I’ve been with Colby on a few workshops and I’ve never regretted a single one. Just got back from shooting bald eagles in Alaska and I can’t recommend it enough! Colby is great because he is always whatever you need him to be. Need someone to walk you through everything? He’s there. Need editing tips? He’s always willing to share. Need someone to get you to the location and then leave you alone? He’s got you covered!
How to summarize this in a few words ? Amazing, challenging (a lot !), impressive, and always entertaining. Iceland in winter, even if the sun was with us during the whole trip, is an experience in itself. Colby knows how to bring this experience to a special level, how to help you to feel comfortable in rough situations (wow, this crazy icelandic wind and this stupid tripod...) and to focus yourself on what you have to do. It doesn't matter if your feet are wet or if you have to get tired to reach a special spot in order to get a better shot. The key is to get the best from yourself, and Colby helps you to make yourself more confident. Thank you for that. Besides, he's a totally "accessible" guy (not sure if this is the right translation of this word in english, I hope you'll know what I mean ;-)), and it means something.
