Hi, I’m Dan. I’ve been photographing nature and wildlife since I was a teenager, and I started licensing photos to publishers in the late 1970s. Since then my photos have appeared in hundreds of books, magazines, calendars, and other publications. I’m also the author of an award-winning book, Death Valley Photographer’s Guide: Where and How to Get the Best Shots.

My workshops are designed to be relaxed and informal, while at the same time giving you as much photography time as possible. The groups are small – usually limited to five participants – so we’re able to get to know each other, share techniques and advice, work collaboratively, and be flexible when conditions change or new opportunities arise. Whatever your skill level, from beginner to professional, I’m happy to work with you to help you make better photos.
