Welcome! I'm Jon Norris, your guide to the stunning beauty of Joshua Tree National Park and beyond. For me, landscape photography is not just about capturing images but embracing the whole experience of nature. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a beginner, I'm here to help you explore, experience, and create breathtaking photographs.

Joshua Tree Landscape Photography Workshops

Embark on a unique journey with me. We'll explore the rugged terrain of Joshua Tree, chasing the perfect light to capture the desert's ethereal beauty. These workshops, designed for photographers of all skill levels, are not just about mastering your camera but about gaining a deeper connection with the natural world. They are relaxed, fun, and highly informative, with hands-on guidance tailored to your pace. It's an experience you won't want to miss.

Online Photography Mentor

Our journey doesn't have to end when you leave the park. My online mentoring sessions are not one-size-fits-all; they are customized to your needs, from improving your composition to post-processing techniques. I believe in mentoring with empathy and encouragement, ensuring you feel valued and understood as I help you unlock your creative potential in a supportive environment.

Fine Art Prints

Want to bring the beauty of the outdoors into your home or office? Check out my fine art prints. You can choose from various finishes, such as giclée, metal, or acrylic, and we offer a range of sizes to suit your space. Each piece comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, ensuring you own a one-of-a-kind artwork.

A Bit More About Me

Let's talk about the heart of what I do: capturing moments that resonate more deeply. I've been passionate about photography since I first picked up a camera at the age of 14, and over the years, I've honed my craft, blending technical precision with creative expression. As a former aerospace engineer, I appreciate photography's technical and artistic aspects and bring that balance to every shoot.

When I'm not behind the camera or leading landscape photography workshops, I'm likely hiking or volunteering with organizations that support responsible nature photography, like the Joshua Tree National Park Association's Desert Institute or Nature First. I firmly believe that photographers are responsible for protecting the environments we capture, ensuring future generations can enjoy these landscapes as much as we do.

You're in the right place if you're looking for adventure, knowledge, and a sprinkle of humor. Whether you join one of my workshops or dive into my mentoring sessions, you'll leave with a sense of accomplishment and some stunning shots to prove it. This sense of empowerment and the lovely photographs you'll create will motivate you to continue your photography journey.

I look forward to helping you improve your photography!
