The Lake Superior shoreline along Minnesota’s north shore and the Boundary Waters are among the most scenic locations in North America for landscape photography. The granite and basalt cliffs offer natural leading lines and interesting jagged breaks and cracks that work well for picture’s foregrounds. The Sawtooth Mountains work as great backgrounds. The lake is almost always on the move, so you can capture interesting waves. It’s a great place to take Lake Superior Photography Workshops or get individual photography instruction. I offer both. These 1:1 and small group photography workshops happen in the Grand Marais area.

What You Will Learn
I think photography workshops need to accomplish a few things:
- You need to learn how to use your camera better.
- You need to learn how to see and capture photos better.
- They need to take place in beautiful locations.
- They must be fun.
By combining those four aspects, I set up a learning experience that helps you capture stunning photos during the photo class. When you leave, you’ll have the knowledge to do it on your own. During my individual and small group Lake Superior Photography Workshops, I tailor the lesson plans to you. If you need to learn about depth-of-field to get everything in focus or to blur the background or how to make waterfalls look silky or how to freeze the motion of a wave, the workshop will teach you those things. If you don’t understand white balance, ISO, file sizes, camera buttons, then by the time the workshop is over you will. I also help you see photos while along the jaw-dropping Lake Superior shoreline, and then I teach you techniques to translate those scenes into a stunning photo. Plus, I keep everything fun!
Notes
These outdoor workshops take place in the field near Grand Marais, Minnesota. If you are interested in Lightroom instruction, my online Lightroom classes are a good option. If you want feedback on your portfolio or images, I offer Online Photography Portfolio Reviews.
