I’m authorized by the National Park Service (NPS) to provide commercial photography workshops in Joshua Tree National Park. I hold a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) certificate, am an experienced hiker/mountaineer, and always travel with a Garmin inReach GPS, which provides fast access to emergency services even when there is no cell signal.
All my Workshops and Guiding Days are conducted per the Nature First Principles.
Nature First is the alliance for responsible nature photography. Help conserve the places we love and photograph through wise use, education, outreach, community, and research.
Increased visitation and a general lack of care threaten some of the Earth's most incredible landscapes and treasured natural areas. Nature First aims to preserve these places by building an alliance of responsible photographers and cultivating a community of local ambassadors and partners to help spread the word.
Nature First is built on seven core principles that help communicate how each of us can enjoy nature photography responsibly. The Seven Principles of Nature First Photography were developed to help educate and guide professional and recreational photographers in sustainable, minimal-impact practices that will help preserve nature’s beautiful locations.
The Nature First Principles
1. Prioritize the well-being of nature over photography.
2. Educate yourself about the places you photograph.
3. Reflect on the possible impact of your actions.
4. Use discretion if sharing locations.
5. Know and follow rules and regulations.
6. Always follow Leave No Trace principles and strive to leave places better than you found them.
7. Actively promote and educate others about these principles.
