Photograph by Lisa Dettloff
Overview
Photography at its best is creative, inspiring, and deeply fulfilling. Every photographer has their moments (and sometimes much more) of frustration and disappointment. And yet something still calls us to venture forth with our cameras and capture something that moves us.
I find it exhilarating to be in a new environment with unlimited possibilities. In this new series of photography workshops, I invite you to join me as we explore some of the most photogenic places on earth. It doesn’t matter who has been there before. All that matters is your creativity, your discovery, your connection with your subject that allows you to translate what you feel into a keenly felt image.
Come join me in exploring the world through the lenses of our cameras. These workshops will focus on camera work, primarily composition, but also mechanics, with some theory thrown in as needed.
I’ll also include some optional exercises for you to improve your skills, and to be able to get dependable results from your equipment.
Workshops
My destination workshops combine working in the field with our cameras, spending time reviewing those images on the computer, and sharing feedback with one another. Although I pepper my workshops with stories from some of my famous relatives (and borrow a few ideas from some of their workshops), these workshops are my own creation, and each one is unique.
Over the last ten years I have led more than 200 weekend workshops on three continents for the Human Awareness Institute, focusing on love, intimacy and sexuality. I’m very excited to bring what I’ve learned leading workshops in another field into my passion for photography. Come join me.
Webinars
Have you always felt that you could create better photographs, if only you had someone to show you the ropes, and answer some questions? Would you like to explore the world with your camera and get more satisfying results? Are you considering one of my destination workshops, but feel that you need to know more before you could sign up?
Please check out my webinars. If you’re a beginner or intermediate photographer, these courses can take the mystery out of it, and help you refine both your vision and your skills.
PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS AND WEBINARS WITH JASON WESTON
ONTARIO CANADA WORKSHOP – 21-22 AUGUST 2019
The Bruce Trail in Ontario Canada, running from Niagara Falls to Tobermory, is one of the great hiking trails in North America. This trail, which meanders through Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, will be the setting for your exploration with your camera. Come enjoy two days of photography, and see what you may have been missing.
DEATH VALLEY WORKSHOP – OCTOBER 13-17, 2019
Death Valley is a jewel, a land of shifting sands and deep stability. Depending on time of year it can be unbearably hot, or miserably cold. We're aiming for that sweet spot in between when it's comfortable to be there. This workshop is currently under construction. I’ll have a detailed itinerary and pricing soon. If you think you want to participate, please contact me.
