What Others Are Saying ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"My recent one-on-one photography workshop with Jon in Joshua Tree was enjoyable, useful, and rewarding--certainly one of the best photo workshops I've participated in. The workshop was very substantial: we started before dawn and visited four distinct sites within the park--each with many shooting locations--over the course of the morning. Jon is a very capable instructor. He provided actionable advice and instruction throughout, covering both technical and aesthetic elements. I felt his approach was well-balanced: he provided ample instruction without being overly didactic. "Chris D., Google Review.
