As an educator, Randy brings decades of real-world experience into his teaching. He has taught photographers across the country, sharing the techniques, creative thinking, and professional experience developed throughout his career.

Whether photographing architecture, historic interiors, landscapes, or cities, Randy works alongside his students, helping them see differently, solve problems in the field, and create stronger, more thoughtful photographs.
Randy's Approach to Teaching
Teaching Beside You, Not in Front of You
Randy believes the best photography instruction happens in the field, working side by side with each participant. His workshops combine photographic opportunities with individual guidance, helping photographers understand composition, light, technique, and the creative decisions behind each image.
With small groups and carefully planned locations, Randy has time to work personally with every participant. His goal isn't simply to help you come home with great photographs—it's to help you develop skills and a way of seeing that continue long after the workshop ends.
