PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS - CUSTOM WORKSHOPS & GUIDE SERVICE, ASSIGNMENTS
CUSTOM PRIVATE WORKSHOPS
You aren't limited to the times offered by other workshops. These workshops will be scheduled around your needs and will feature locations that I have shot multiple times. You put together the group, so you will have friends you are used to being with. This can include an amount of hiking to locations that large groups cannot offer.
This is absolutely the fastest way to learn. Add lessons and post processing to the guide service and you have a workshop, with more intense learning and $600 for first day for one. $700 for two. $900 for three, $1000 for four. Half price for each additional day. Meals, entrance fees not included, but my pass gets small groups into national forests and parks. Lodging, meals and travel over 100 miles are extra. Some water and snacks are provided. We will discuss this. Non-photographers welcome at no extra charge as space allows. Many locations to choose from. You can also follow links to sample images. I will edit and print one of your top images for you if you wish. We will discuss travel and shooting requirements with you before giving you a final fee estimate.
Consider locations such as White Sands NP, Bisti Wilderness, Joshua Tree NP, Death Valley NP, White Pocket and Coyote Buttes, Yellowstone NP, Pacific NW, California Redwoods, Hanksville area, Sedona & Watson Lake, etc. Pretty much anywhere Arizona Highways Photoscapes goes are locations where I go.
Availability is subject to my schedule. Contact me with your request.
PHOTO EXPERIENCE - PRESCOTT & SOUTHWEST
Southwest Photography Guide Service
The Prescott Experience - Better than an AirBNB experience with flexibility to allow for your best results! Photograph the shapely granite dells at Watson Lake and Willow Lakes. Or choose street scenes around our historic downtown and Whiskey Row. Depending on the time of year, weather and your interests we may explore nearby areas for red rocks, cactus blooms, fall colors and more. Limited to three photographers. $125 for a single photographer, $99 per photographer for two or three photographers. Post processing instruction may be included during a 3-4 hour session for one to three persons. For a sample of possible locations be sure to visit this gallery.
Guide Service - This is a very economical alternative to workshops where you are likely to get shots that few others have. Available throughout the Southwest including all of the major sand dunes covered in my e-book, How to Photograph Sand Dunes of the American Southwest. Limited to three photographers. Larger groups would require your own transportation. This is a guide service, not a workshop. I will lead you to great locations with the best light possible, instruct on settings and composition if requested and I will share my post processing techniques as time allows. I will shoot alongside you only when something spectacular happens, but only if you are getting amazing shots yourself. You are my first concern. The fee is $600/day regardless of group size, plus accommodations if we aren't camping and a mileage allowance over 100 miles. If I am photographing alongside you, this fee may be reduced. Call me for availability. 714..292..5238. Learn about some locations here. For portfolio review, Portfolio Review!
Post Processing Instruction or editing for you. $50 per hour. I recommend separate one or two hour sessions so that you are not overloaded after any single session.
Custom Assignments & Western Portraiture
Assignments - I may accept assignments by magazines and for company advertising, particularly in the area of western fashion and portraiture.
Western Portraiture - Private outdoor western portraiture sessions are available for individuals, couples and families on a limited basis. Contact me for availability.
Testimonials
"Rob Strain is a very experienced photographer who is a good communicator, great outdoorsman, knows his way around Northern AZ and Utah. He knows where and how to shoot excellent photos! He helped our group get some wonderful images I'll cherish for years to come!" L Enright
"I was lucky enough to cross-paths with Rob Strain. He went out of his way to educate and mentor me. We spent over 6 hours on a location, two separate days getting a one-of-a-kind, shot, that nobody has. Authentic imagery and capturing it as best as anyone possibly can is of utmost importance. He brings out the best in and makes mother nature shine." L Zwak
"WOW! I love these! You have an amazing talent and we are so thankful..." T Dietrich (parent of Arizona Wildflowers bluegrass musicians)
