As a professional photographer participating in my first workshop, I traveled 25 hours from Belgium, and I was not disappointed at all! We experienced aurora displays on all 7 nights—what more could you ask for? Marc did an incredible job managing everything. His knowledge is truly impressive! If you're interested, don't hesitate to sign up for one of his future workshops.

I attended a Milky Way photography workshop conducted by Marc in Colorado. Marc was excellent. He was super patient and worked with all participants and gave us all individual attention. He knows a lot about astrophotography as is evident from the pictures on his website. He knew the various locations and how to scout locations for best weather and take us there in time. One of the best workshops I have attended. I have attached a picture that I took with his lessons during the workshop.

Chasing the Aurora with Marc truly exceeded all of my expectations! Marc ensured that everyone’s needs were met throughout the week. He has a deep knowledge of many different cameras and his editing training approach was extremely helpful. He knows Lightroom inside and out and can explain clearly why, when and how to use any of its features. And he made it fun to stand in subzero temperatures for hours! I also really enjoyed chatting with Vince; having access to a Northern Lights expert increased my enjoyment during the week immeasurably. I will definitely join Marc for another photography adventure!

What a wonderful workshop! Nature couldn't have been any nicer to us. Seeing the Aurora 5 of 6 nights. Each night from the first got better. Marc is a WONDERFUL instructor and very patient with all participants. He has so much knowledge to share and explains it with great ease. Not only his knowledge of the Aurora, but also with Lightroom. Is knowledge of Lightroom is at another level. He works with ALL participants to make sure their needs are met from camera settings, software experience and to the hot chocolate each night. Taking his workshops is an opportunity not to be missed!
