Our small group received ample personal instruction in the field and classroom with Rad. We learned little tricks from each other for making better imagery and enjoyed playing with new apps that increased our creativity that spurned belly laughs and giggles! Our shooting locations were varied and I can say that I’d like to return to this area to photograph again. Rad’s photo leadership, organization of the day’s schedule and ability to interject fun at every turn is greatly appreciated!

Fantastic trip. Accommodations were great, the food was wonderful and the people were friendly. Rad was extremely helpful and provided plenty of suggestions on composition, editing and apps. The local guides were knowledgeable and provided helpful information about the areas we visited. Isabella was exceptionally helpful. And, of course, the country side and towns were spectacular. I highly recommend this trip.

Rad Drew is a wonderful and experienced photo tour guide. He's knowledgeable, makes things simple, he's complimentary and supportive--constantly showing you what he just photographed or shooting what you just showed him! For the money, Rad is one of the best deals around.

I've done many workshops but exploring The Palouse with Rad was simply the best. Rad is such a wealth of knowledge and has a very relaxed and laid back way of conducting his workshops. As a result I came home with many wonderful captures. I truly hope I'll be able to attend another workshop with Rad again soon.

Photography should feel inspiring, not overwhelming.

Maybe you feel overwhelmed by all the settings.

Maybe you have watched random YouTube videos, tried a few apps, and still do not feel sure what to do next.

Maybe you are tired of carrying a heavy camera bag, but you are not ready to give up photography.

Or maybe you are wondering if your iPhone is good enough, and how to make the most of it.

You need a clear path, not more clutter.

    • Frequently Asked Questions

    No. Great photography starts with seeing, light, composition, and intention. Better tools can help, but they are not the starting point.

    Yes. The teaching is designed to be clear, easy to follow, and welcoming to people at many skill levels.

    Absolutely. Many of the core principles of photography apply whether you use an iPhone, a mirrorless camera, DSLRs or all. Composition, light, timing, and creative intent still matter most. 


    A big difference is that the iPhone uses computational photography in ways traditional cameras do not, and those differences affect how we photograph and process our images. My courses address both what carries over from traditional photography and what needs to be approached differently.

    No. Settings matter, but the bigger goal is helping you make more personal, expressive photographs.

    That is exactly why many people start here. You can make strong images without carrying a big bag of gear everywhere you go.

    Not at all. Everything is taught in plain language, with practical examples and a no-tech-jargon approach.
