Heceta Head Retreat 2025
Join me on this unique, small group highly customized Post processing intensive at the most scenic lighthouse on the West Coast!
Take your post processing to the next level
I am excited to announce this unique post processing workshop which will feature highly a customized learning environment in style!. This will be a very small group workshop of 6 participants, allowing us to highly customize the material we focus on, and tailor the entire experience to the skill level of each individual. The smaller group will allow for lots of 1 to 1 learning, and we will be doing it in one of the most scenic locations on the Oregon Coast!
This Three Day intensive will be based out of the beautiful Heceta Head Bed and Breakfast located at Heceta head Lighthouse. Simply one of the most beautiful places on the Oregon Coast. We will wake up each day to the sound of seabirds and a catered breakfast. We will spend each day refining our processing skills, reviewing image edits and learning new skills. Then after our evening meal, we will head out to photograph the iconic Lighthouse, shoreline and surrounding forest trails By staying on location we will have us unique night time access to the grounds that are normally closed to the public.
