Welcome to Adventure Photography Tours and Workshops

Adventure Photography Tours and Workshops has evolved from a photographic art gallery that provided photographic workshops and personal local tours to worldwide photographic adventures.

For workshops, we offer basic education such as "Getting to Know Your Camera" and "Photography Fundamentals" to beginner through advanced Elements and Photoshop. We also offer artistic workshops such as "Developing Your Creative Vision" and "Composition". Workshops are held in our downtown gallery as well as our professional photography studio located in south Vero Beach.

The basic concept of our photography tours is simple: We take you to the locations that will get you the best picture at the best time of day or night. Almost everyone agrees that photography is all about light. And unique travel photographs are all about going to a special spot at the right time, under the right conditions, so we can have the right light. This may mean that we are going to be in a 16th century abbey at sunrise before they officially open to the public, maybe the sunrise will be captured in a private vineyard and we will all be guests, or it might just be sunset on the Indian River Lagoon photographing Ospreys as they dive down for their dinner. Combining our tours with workshops, critiques, and instruction based on the location and type of photography, and you will return home from the adventure with pictures that are unique and amazing.
