When you come to Hawaii on vacation, get better photos by having your own personal photography coach. Kathleen will show you special places on the island, and help you improve both your technical abilities and your creative vision.
The tours can include a variety of locales, from palm groves and sacred historical places on the ocean, beaches and seascapes, tropical rain forests, flora, fauna and waterfalls to deserts, cattle country, volcanoes, etc. The Big Island has 23 of the 28 climatic zones in the world, so there is quite a variety, depending on your interests.
From three hours to three days, your time can be customized to where you want to go, and what you want to learn. You can work with digital or film, and/or digital infrared. Tours can also be shared with family or friends.
