Photo Safaris & Workshops with Jason P. Odell, Ph.D.
Immerse yourself in your passion on one of my small-group photo safaris. On each of these excursions, I take you to some of the best shooting locations for wildlife and landscapes. I offer each student one on-one instruction tailored to their individual needs, both in the field (camera settings, composition, exposure), and in the classroom (post-processing techniques, image review and critique). Photography is about capturing the right place at the right time, and on my safaris, we do just that. These workshops are optimal for photographers of all levels, and I welcome beginners!
To see all my workshops, including my online training courses, please visit Luminescence of Nature Photography Workshops. I am pleased to offer web-based training for Nikon's Capture NX2, Photo Mechanic, Nik Software plug-ins, and Photoshop CS5.
