If you have a passion for photography and a desire to learn your craft
the Dwon Güvenir Photo Safari Workshops are here for you!

•••• The Dwon Güvenir Photo Safari Workshops take photographers of all levels and provides them with the skills necessary to master their photography. With classes and workshops to fit everyone’s busy schedule we provide Community Education Courses in classroom settings, Day Trips & Weekend Workshops at some of the most beautiful State & National Parks in the NW, and with our signature Photo Safari Workshops we take photographers into the great outdoors to provide all inclusive Adventure Photography Learning Expeditions. Whether you’re simply looking for a basic photography class or a one of a kind Corporate Team Building experience, we deliver!

••••Like no other Photo Safari, our primary goal is to teach photography. Unlike other photo safaris that just take you from location to location, drop you off for the day and let you shoot without any real instruction, you'll learn everything you need to know about how your equipment works in relation to the art of photography so that you can take complete control of any situation and capture the image you want with ease and confidence! Anyone can take you to nice locations. Dwon's Advanced Photography class is covered with every workshop and safari. He teaches you everything you need to be in complete control of your photography while on location in beautiful surroundings so you learn and have practical experience to back up your newly acquired skills. The weekend workshops focus mainly on learning on location while the photo safari workshops not only focus on learning on location but also give you plenty of time at various gorgeous locations to practice and hone your craft! Dwon's relaxed learning environment helps students retain a wealth of information without feeling overwhelmed. You'll gain a complete understanding of photography and how every part comes together to create the image. This is what Dwon calls "The Tao of Photography."

Dwon Güvenir's Tao of Photography
"Photography is more than the technology of the mechanics.
Photography is more than the techniques of the art.
The Tao of Photography is the harmony that exists when you understand the whole of Photography and can create your art intuitively."

•••• The Tao of Photography is an understanding of photography as a whole. The numbers don't matter, the specific menu items don't matter, the exposure calculations don't matter. You'll learn "Photography by Feel," to instinctively understand how to set up your camera to get exactly what your mind's eye sees. You'll fine tune your image to create your art by constantly compensating for changing conditions. Photography is a fluid art form. You must learn to go with the flow or you'll drown. Understanding your equipment and it's place in the photographic process is the first step in learning to let go of your dependence on automatic settings or "correct settings." The only correct settings are the ones that give you exactly what you want to create your art. Because it's completely subjective as per your artistic preferences, only you can determine the correct settings. The easiest way to do this is through the Tao of Photography which translates to The Way of Photography. This is what Dwon specializes in. He has the innate ability to show photographers "the way of photography" so that they can creat their art intuitively.

•••• Dwon believes in teaching photography from the ground up. You must start with a blank slate to avoid bringing any preconceived misconceptions into your understanding of the photographic processes. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or professional photographer within the first two hours you'll be an expert photographer with a complete understanding of the mechanics of photography. Photography is photography no matter what brand camera you use, whether film or digital. There’s really no difference in the fundamental functions of all cameras. From high end digital SLR's to cell phones, they all do the same thing and they all do it in the same way. Classes that teach one specific camera brand or model or “Digital Only” may not be teaching photography but rather button layout. These classes may not teach you the critical skills to master your photography in every possible situation. Dwon’s intuitive teaching methods will transform any level photographer into an expert photographer over the course of the class, workshop or safari. You will be able to capture every shot with confidence knowing that you are in complete control of your camera.

•••• Before heading out on that $10,000 African Safari be sure you have mastered your photography in any situation. Some of our clients are photographers who just returned from expensive photo safari tours with mediocre images. It happens a lot! They were taken to beautiful locations and left to take their snap shots without any instruction. Don't waste these once in a lifetime moments by not going prepared. The Dwon Güvenir Photo Safari Workshops held in the US are designed to be training for large international photo safaris. Dwon will prepare you for every photographic situation!
