workshop client testimonials

In addition, Brendan Quigley and Grant Kaye have written entire posts on this blog as to why Jay’s instructional techniques are of such value.

Richard–

I had a wonderful time in Jackson with you and your colleagues.The workshop was very well planned and executed under the weather constraints we had to deal with. Your team members were very helpful and pleasant to be around. I wasn’t sure what to expect before the workshop started but now that I completed it, I feel you have opened my thought process to express my photography in ways I would have never have tried on my own. You attempted to convey to us in 4 days what has obviously taken you a life time of hard work to attain. Again, thank you so much for the chance to see nature as you do with your imaginative and calculating mind. I look forward to learning from you again in the near future at another workshop.

Until we meet again, godspeed in future endeavors!

It was an awesome workshop and really helped me develop better photography skills.  I look to someday, participate on some of the larger international tours with you guys….perhaps I will see you on one of them.   Good luck and stay in touch.

I wanted to take time to thank you for spending the Labor Day Weekend with those of us who attended the seminar in Port Angeles.

From the ”meet and greet” on Friday, through the final good bye on Monday, there was a sense of inclusion, interpersonal bonding and and an exhibited desire to assist others in attaining their photographic goals from all of you.

I am very pleased with the workshop and the talents assembled to assist us in our growth.

Time in the field – despite the wet conditions – afforded us an opportunity to visualize alternative compositions through instruction we received in class or hands on tutelage at that location.  Your team was readily available to answer questions and actively sought them out when attendees did not offer them openly.

I appreciate the critiques – no better way to learn, especially when John / Jay edit the pictures while they are projected on the screen.  Sure, you can say it is an advantage of the digital era, but in reality, it is a benefit you afford your students because you take advantage of digital offerings and include them in your workshop, providing immediate visual feedback to support your comments.  Well done!

Above all, I am glad I had the opportunity to meet all of you.  To gain insights into the technical aptitude, experiences, passion for your art, and, most importantly, the camaraderie you share with one another.  Your interactions with one another help put your students at ease, inviting them to become part of the family – if you will - during the time they spend with you.

Hats off to you and the Wolfe Pack.

You guys rock!

Thanks again for the EXCELLENT experience!!! My photography has been given a HUGE boost, thanks to you and Art! I hope to see you guys on future workshops and in the field.

Best wishes!

Thank you so much for your help over the course of the workshop; I had a great time, in spite of the weather, and learnt many useful things..

I hope I can participate in one of the international workshops sometime!

Thanks very much for the great lecture you and Art put together for us in Costa Mesa a few weeks back! I learned a lot from the discussion/questions session after as well – thanks for taking so much extra time to do it. I hope you enjoyed your stay down here in SoCal.

Thanks again and hope to attend another workshop or tour soon!

I’ve been teaching myself photography off and on for about 5 years now, started with film and have moved on to digital.  Getting more serious about it this year.  I attended the Seattle seminar with you and Art and it really inspired me to get more serious about it. Honestly I was tired of shooting in western Washington but not anymore.  I have learned so much from your blogs, both here and on Outdoor Photographer.  I look forward to continuing to learn and hopefully take more classes.  Have a lot of weekend trips planned all over Washington state in the coming months.

I just wanted to thank Art, Jay and Gavriel for such a great workshop.

This is my first one and I understand from talking with others in the group you guys are the best of the best.

Relative to some of the others, I am newer to photography but never felt that way. I learned so much to take back with me about my equipment, composition, light, looking for interesting and often abstract subject matter and so many other things it would take me all day to write them down.

Great job.

I most certainly will be back for another workshop.

First I want to tell you “Thank You” so much for all your assistance on the workshop last weekend.  My wife and I enjoyed it and learned so much from Art, yourself and Gavriel.  I came away with some great images that I normally wouldn’t have.  And I enjoyed your story  about the camera mishap on your website.  A similar thing happened to me when I was in Alaska.  It had rained the night before and I was carrying my D2X on the tripod over my shoulder, I went under some tree limbs that had water from the previous night and the water seeped down inside and the camera went crazy.  But after setting it in front of a heater/blower for the rest of the day it started working again.  And your Lightroom session was very helpful to both of us as well.

Again Cornelia and I would like to thank you for everything.

Your content is excellent, I loved your workflow ideas, you are very methodical and obviously know your material well. Your enthusiasm for the use of Lightroom is contagious and I love all of your recommendations. You have a great personality for teaching and I’d love to attend future classes you may schedule. If you have a mailing list, please feel free to add my email to it.
