INSTRUCTORS

Peter EnsenbergerOur photographers have been selected for their professional abilities, teaching skills and extensive knowledge of photography. Most have been published repeatedly in Arizona Highways, helping it become one of the world's premier magazines. Our photographers teach techniques that will enrich your photography and will get you "to the right place at the right time" for the best possible photographs.

Many will take you into the field, moving from person to person to answer questions and aid with compositional concerns. Some, like noted photographer David Muench, are best at teaching another aspect of photography: the art of seeing, and focusing your creative eye. All will give you the benefit of their many years of professional experience.
