Workshop List
Diane Kelsay and Bob Harvey have used nature photography as a primary tool in the development, management and promotion of nature tourism - and in communicating about conservation issues. Projects and assignments have taken them to special and fragile natural environments around the world. Their photography has been published on all continents, in many forms, from multi-image productions, to websites, to books and magazines, and technical reports.
Every year, Diane and Bob design a selection of special nature photography adventures, to share special places and natural events with small groups of photographers who seek to improve their skills while photographing in unique natural environments.
Each of these adventures is custom designed for the photo group - to get photographers to the right place at the right time. Many of the adventures share special and secret photography locations that Bob and Diane have discovered in their work - often locations that are unknown to tourism and often to other photographers.
Each adventure focuses on seeing and making stunning photographs - using equipment, skills, and technology to support design and composition. Our focus is on the image design and we teach our students to understand and use technology to accomplish design goals.

We also develop classroom workshops, often staged at a location that enables the group to go into the field afterwards and use new skills.
Each adventure and workshop is designed to minimize impact on natural environments we visit - while getting us to special places at the best times. We frequently employ local guides to facilitate our explorations - and to add natural and cultural history interpretation to our outings.
