About
Adventure photography can be an adventure in itself, involving breathtaking locations, extreme conditions, and working with elite athletes in risky situations. It requires a host of skills, including technical excellence with the camera, familiarity with a sport, and the ability to always be mindful of your goals and your safety.
In this 90-minute online webinar, Michael shares his experiences working in the adventure marketplace and photographing for editorial and commercial clients. He will pull the curtain back and show what it is like to photograph a variety of different adventures and how he captures cutting-edge images of world-class athletes pushing their sports forward.

He uses unique angles, bold colors, strong graphics and cutting-edge, dramatic lighting techniques to capture fleeting moments of passion, gusto, flair and bravado in the outdoors.
