Todd Liotine Fine Art Photography specializes in small, customized trips for photographers led by Todd, a self taught award winning photographer. We seek to help you realize your goal of seeing the natural world, making photographs, learning about photography, and building your portfolio. You can select from one afternoon to three days, the choice is yours. We are flexible and willing to customize a tour to meet your objectives.
In addition, we will offer approximately three group tours during the year. If you want to meet other photography minded people to share the experience, the group tour might be best for you. Our groups are small in size and are normally limited to 4-6 photographers.
These intensive workshops usually include a morning shoot, midday learning/critique and an evening photo shoot. We will start at dawn and go through dusk – so bring lots of energy and a passion for learning! Most students learn more in one day than in an entire week of workshops!
Field instruction can be held but not limited to the Eastern Sierra, Death Valley, Yosemite, Big Sur/Monterey/Carmel coast, Point Lobos State Reserve.
