About This Workshop

Discover the Magic of Night Photography

Mastering night photography isn’t just about snapping pictures; it’s about capturing moments bathed in the mystical glow of the moon and stars. But fear not, fellow photographers, for I bring you a shortcut that will revolutionize your night shooting adventures!

Imagine a technique so foolproof that it slashes your learning curve in half, working like a charm in 90% of sunset scenarios. And the best part? No need to cram camera settings into your brain – this technique stays with you, elevating your craft instantly.

Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not! Welcome to my exclusive workshop, where we’ll delve deep into the art of night photography and editing using this game-changing technique, and so much more.

Two Evening Workshop

Prepare to immerse yourself in the nocturnal wonders of St. Paul and Minneapolis across two captivating evenings. Unlike other workshops, we don’t just snap and dash; we linger, ensuring ample time for hands-on learning and polishing your newfound skills.

Throughout our field sessions, we’ll unravel the mysteries of night photography – from mastering camera modes to fine-tuning focus and selecting the right gear. With a cozy group of five, you’ll receive personalized guidance tailored to your unique journey.

For the first evening, we’ll gather and collectively visit some well-known, and not so well-known, spots around St. Paul.

The second evening will find us doing the same type of work, just in Minneapolis. There will be a set of locations that provide unique vantages of the city.

Carpooling is optional. I will provide a list of locations and approximate times we will arrive.

Essential Gear

To embark on this enchanting journey, you’ll need:

A trusty dSLR, mirrorless camera, or even your cellular phone

A sturdy tripod for capturing those mesmerizing nightscapes

A remote trigger or timer feature to ensure flawless shots

What’s Included

Prepare to receive a treasure trove of resources to fuel your photographic odyssey:

Five exclusive Cityscape Lightroom Presets crafted by yours truly

A curated location guide featuring hidden gems and secret vantage points

The Adventure Continues

While our formal instruction may conclude after our third evening, the bonds forged amidst our shared nocturnal escapades endure. Together, we’ll celebrate newfound friendships and shared moments that transcend the workshop.
