  • Explore

    Join me for this waterfalls (and so much more) workshop/retreat this fall in Northern California when the color is ah-mazing! Waterfalls are one of my favorite subjects to photograph. I’ll be there to help you achieve the results you want.

  • Learn

    Photographing waterfalls is a favorite of mine; I also enjoy teaching others. So, it just makes sense to put the two together in this unique workshop all about photographing waterfalls and cascades in the beautiful Northern California mountains.

  • Practice

    You’ll learn composition, how to use filters, set shutter speeds to achieve your desired result, and so much more. I’ll be there to guide you along and offer suggestions while you practice your new-found skills.

Testimonials

 

We had such a great day photographing some fabulous falls! The day was full and well organized. Nadeen is very knowledgeable and was always there to answer questions or help with the composition of the scene. She was very helpful with giving us tips and tricks on capturing the challenging dynamic range of the falls. I would highly recommend a workshop with her! You will not be disappointed! ~ Kris

Thank you Nadeen for a wonderful day with new women photographers and beautiful scenery. I appreciated the YouTube tutorial very much and the extra time you spent with us! I also appreciated you keeping us on track and not lollygagging..lol... Thanks again for a lovely day. And yes I slept like a log! ~ Debbie

It was nice that Nadeen was able to share her insights and perspectives for the best locations to photograph them. We arrived early and visited four parts of the falls, saw some wildlife and ended with a fun lunch. Nadeen was very patient, prepared, humble and helpful throughout the day. Waterfalls can be tricky to photograph and Nadeen offered great tips on bracketing followed by a video tutorial on how to blend images using Adobe photo-shop. Overall I had a great time and even made some new friends! ~ Jennifer
