| “I thoroughly enjoyed the class in Sequoia National Park. The amount of effort that has gone in to working out all the details of the trip were evident throughout the adventure. Bob Killen has scouted some fantastic locations to demonstrate various techniques and styles of landscape photography. Careful thought was given to selecting comfortable accommodations that could also support productive post-processing sessions. I learned much from both Bob and my photographers. I am looking forward to joining another expedition soon.” |
| “I have attended several different photography workshops by a variety of photographers. The absolute best by far that I’ve ever attended are workshops lead by Bob Killen. This intense, five-day adventure not only expanded my mind for the technical aspects of photography but also for improved artistic expression. What I learned in this class isn’t something you can get from books or videos.
Bob is very dedicated to giving us the best experience possible. He gets to know each of his students so he can help guide us to our goals of becoming better artists. I always leave very satisfied with what I’ve learned but then again, wanting more! I can’t wait to join his next workshop! I can’t think of a thing to improve other than I believe we need to clone Bob so more people can learn from him. He’s one of a kind.” |
| “In early November, I was visiting Los Angeles and went to Samy’s Camera for the first time. After buying a small bag, I filled-out an entry form to win a place in a National Parks Photography Expeditions Landscape Master Class Workshop. I never gave it another thought until the email arrived in January saying I was the winner. In May, I attended the Canyonlands workshop. It was amazing and continues to be even a month later. Bob Killen has the most integrated approach to photography, from finding locations, to helping you see the great shots, and then teaching you how to create art using powerful post-production tools. Bob’s individual coaching in the field and in post-production sessions continues after returning home with his remote sessions. I feel so lucky to have won this opportunity and will definitely take another of Bob’s workshops in the coming months.” |
