INSTRUCTORS
Our
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.
