What we’re about
National Photography Workshops is a group that Focuses on Photographing the beauty of our National Parks, State Parks and The Great Lakes.
<br>
We specialize on teaching all aspects of photography from the newbie to the Advanced Amateur.
You don't need the most expensive equipment, we will show you how to capture great images using your Cellphone, Mirrorless or DSLR camera.
NPW focuses on what creates a great photograph, how to see with a creative eye and how your camera can best capture those special moments. <br>
