San Diego Outdoor Photography Workshops
hosted by O'Neal Photographic Workshops


Our mission is to provide a friendly, fun atmosphere for learning and creativity. We put down our cameras to lift you up. Whatever your skill level, we focus first on developing an understanding of your gear and best field practices which allows you to move beyond the tech side of photography and begin to develop your personal style. We will encourage you to take your camera off of Program Mode but won’t leave you hanging when you do.

 

During our workshops we are at your disposal. When we’re not actively instructing or helping with setup, we are on hand for any questions or concerns you may have.

Your Instructors:

Nick Chill

Nick Chill is a fine art nature photographer with experience in landscape and wildlife photography work and print sales, as well as portraits, action sports, and wedding.

Byron O'Neal

Byron O'Neal is a commercial fine art photographer with years of experience in fine art landscapes and commercial hospitality work, as well as stock photography sales.

 

What You Can Learn:

Our workshops cover a variety of photography topics, allowing you to learn something different with every outing. Some of the topics include:

  • Manual camera controls | Aperture, Shutter, ISO
  • Capturing long-exposures
  • Creative composition | Making a powerful image
  • Graduated filter use for high-contrast scenes
  • Wide-angle photography | Thinking Wide
  • Night photography
  • Light-painting and other night effects
  • Proper use of filters: polarizers, ND, UV
  • Lightroom essentials
  • Advanced landscape photography techniques
  • Natural lighting
  • 1-on-1 Camera Classes by request: nick@nickchill.com

 

Why We Stand Out:

We feel that we can offer a uniquely enjoyable experience, and so do many of our participants.

  • Small class sizes for more personal interaction
  • A fun and relaxed atmosphere to help you enjoy the learning process
  • Affordable fees to help you continue learning
  • Experienced/Professional photographers
  • We break down the basics so you can understand them
  • Hands-on personal instruction
  • Beautiful locations so you can build your portfolio while you learn

 

We'll also be holding friendly photo-walks to get to know each other, practice our skills and enjoy ourselves. It's just a great way to meet like-minded people and share in our love of photography.
