Private Instruction

Day Rate (In-Field): $2000
Hourly Rate (Online): $250

Due to the nature of my full-time travel, one-on-one workshops are not always possible to schedule. However, it is still worth contacting me if you’re interested in private field instruction, to see if we can find a time and place that works for both of us. I also may be able to offer private processing instruction and personalized portfolio reviews over Zoom, when my schedule permits.
