Kevin’s Upcoming Trips

I have been on well over 30 workshops in 25 years. It is so refreshing to see that Kevin and Kevin frequently don't carry a camera and really are intent on helping us get our best shots.

Kevin was an enormous asset! His knowledge of equipment, techniques, and software skills far exceeded my expectations.

Kevin, thank you for a terrific experience in Russia & Siberia. Your soft touch style was perfect for me as I am used to doing my own thing. But, I appreciated how you kept us on course and worked so well with Vladimir. He also did a phenomenal job and I personally enjoyed the mix of landscape, people, and night shooting. Siberian road adventures aside, the trip had a nice balance including a slice of Moscow. I enjoyed learning from your photography and travel experiences and the drone lesson too.
