Testimonials

I had been following Andy and his work since early 2019. His philosophy on landscape photography truly resonated with me as an amatuer photographer in the Pacific Northwest. From his compositions to the way his photos made me feel, I knew that attending a workshop with Andy would truly help me develop my own style and philosophy on landscape photography.
I was fortunate enough to claim a spot in his winter Dolomites workshop. Andy was prompt in his responses and answered all my questions. Preparation leading up to the workshop was seamless. Once there, it was very clear that Andy had put in a ton of preparation and research into making sure we had amazing accommodations, and more importantly, fruitful sessions in the field that considered lighting, weather, difficulty, and more. The post-processing sessions were informative and I have a clearer sense of how to express myself through editing my photos. After attending this workshop, I can confidently say that I am much better at photographing landscapes and turning them into images that I am proud of.
Aside from everything I learned about landscape photography, I also thoroughly enjoyed building friendships and sharing experiences that made this workshop a real adventure. I look forward to going out into the field and creating my own experiences as I apply my learnings. I have no doubt that I'll be reaching out to Andy again for future workshop opportunities. I highly recommend attending Andy's workshops.

Andy and his team’s Lofoten workshop exceeded my every expectation. I booked their workshop with a hope to stretch my creative and technical photography talents, while immersed in epic vistas. In this and so many other ways, it didn't disappoint. I left their workshop with an order of magnitude improvement on my photographic approach — from site selection to composition to creative post-processing. Andy’s preparation, patience, and dedication to small groups provided ample 1:1 mentorship time over the 6 days. And while you can never predict the weather in any trip you take, Andy had a Plan B & C for every shoot. Even with rainy and snowy days, we had those epic vistas to learn in
So while this was my first immersive workshop of any sort, it definitely will not be my last. Nor my last trip with Andy. I can't wait to get in to the next photographic adventure.

I could write a novel about my experiences on the Iceland workshop. It would probably even be a bestseller. But, you’ll have to pay for that later when it’s published. So instead, I’m going to tell you why you need to book a workshop with Andy.
Andy is a huge part of what made this workshop special. So much so, that I signed up for another workshop before this one even ended. He’s the kind of guide who offers help when you need it but also lets you find your own way. He doesn't just make sure that you get great photos, but also makes sure that you have a great experience. His warmth and easygoing nature make it feel like you’re traveling with an old friend that you haven’t seen in a while. Andy’s passion for photography and life is contagious. By the end of the trip, you’ll walk away with not just great photos, but also unforgettable memories and a connection to the people you’ve shared the adventure with.
I left this workshop inspired. It literally shifted my mindset, and it wasn’t because I was getting really cool landscape shots (which I did also get). Book a workshop with Andy if you want great photos. Book a workshop with Andy if you want an unforgettable experience. But just make sure you don’t take the last spot before I get my funding together.

“What an adventure exploring the stunning Dolomites with Andy! Our workshop was packed with jaw-dropping locations throughout the week. The small group format created a great opportunity to make new friends and provided ample time for our expert guides to provide plenty of individual hands-on time. Andy is down to earth, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. He tailored his advice and guidance to each of our skill levels and goals, whether on location or in post shoot editing. After spending the week with him, I feel like I’ve taken my photography to a whole new level. Andy treated us to an unforgettable photography experience I’ll never forget!”

I’ve followed and appreciated Andy’s work for a few years now and recently I took the opportunity to join him in Lofoten for what turned out to be one of the most enjoyable weeks of photography I’ve ever experienced. Watching his videos over the years provided me with a sense that his teaching style and approach to photography would be something I could resonate with and gain valuable perspective from; that intuition proved to be totally correct. There is just no better way to learn than hands-on in the field with a professional you respect. Although I already valued his work and knew I could learn from him the one thing I could not have expected was to come away with an admiration for Andy as a human being. It was enough to be in a beautiful location and photographing shoulder to shoulder with Andy and a group of truly enjoyable people, but way beyond my expectations was how warm, welcoming, and genuinely human he was to everyone in the workshop. Very quickly I found myself at ease and amongst new friends, sharing humor and enjoying each other’s company. The camaraderie amongst the whole group was immense but Andy was the catalyst that made that possible; he really appears to enjoy what he does and the people he meets along the way, and that charisma fostered an environment that made the entire experience a comfortable and incredibly enjoyable one. Sincerest thanks to Andy for the laughs, fun times, and incredible photos; I hope to join him again on a future trip!
