Expert-Led Wildlife Photography Across Florida
Join immersive Florida wildlife photography workshops and tours at some of the state’s most inspiring locations, including the Everglades, Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Fort De Soto Park, Merritt Island, Orlando Wetlands, and St. Augustine. Whether you are just starting out or are already an experienced photographer, you will learn practical techniques for composition, exposure, behavior anticipation, and storytelling that elevate your wildlife images in any light or condition.
Trusted, Published, and Recognized Worldwide
My wildlife and photojournalism work has been published in leading outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BBC, TIME, CNN, The Smithsonian, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post, among many others. This editorial background informs how I teach you to think like a visual storyteller, build strong frames, and capture moments that editors, clients, and audiences respond to.
Because my images regularly appear in international media, you benefit from instruction grounded in professional standards, ethical field practices, and a deep respect for the natural world. As a participant, you learn not only how to make a sharp, well-exposed image, but also how to create photographs that communicate behavior, place, and emotion.

Local expertise that takes you straight to the most productive locations and vantage points for wildlife photography across Florida.
Learn From an Award-Winning Wildlife Photojournalist
After decades working as a wire news photojournalist, I shifted my focus to wildlife, bringing the same decisive-moment instincts and storytelling discipline into the field with birds, mammals, and fragile ecosystems. I previously served as a Board Member and Vice President of the Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles.
In 2020 was awarded a Fellowship from The Royal Photographic Society, recognitions that reflect a lifelong commitment to the craft of photography.
This professional background shapes every Florida wildlife photography workshop I lead. You receive clear, direct guidance on timing, angles, backgrounds, and ethics, so you can work quickly, confidently, and respectfully around wildlife while still capturing dynamic, publication-worthy images.
The Florida Master Naturalist Advantage
As a University of Florida Certified Florida Master Naturalist, I bring more than photographic expertise to each workshop. I share insights into local ecosystems, bird and animal behavior, and habitat dynamics so that you understand not just what you are photographing, but why the scene is unfolding the way it is.
