I had an amazing time and learned more than I ever though possible.
- Robert Criss, The Expressive Landscape Print Workshop
I definitely learned some new skills on how to enhance my Landscape photos....just what I had hoped for. Ed was personable and easy to understand. It was a Saturday morning well spent.
- Elleene Stone, The Expressive Landscape Print
One of the most beautiful places in the world and Ed knows all the spots. More than I could have ever hoped for.
- Ken Mitchell, The Big Sur Coast Workshop
This was my second time taking one of Edward's workshops and it won't be my last. Edward is a wonderful teacher and always willing to help...even weeks after the workshop is over, thanks!
- Susan Gamino, Yosemite in the Spring
I've been a photographer for over 30 years and I've never had such an enjoyable experience as a photographer.

I learned more in one day than I had in the last 5 years, I'm working on images in a whole new way. On top of it all I met a lot of wonderful people, including Ed.
- Ted Crooker, The Expressive Landscape Print Workshop
I've attended many workshops in the past and this one was the best. The image critique session alone was worth every penny but add in the lessons, fieldwork and location...WOW!
- Michael Rugg, The Big Sur Coast Workshop
I was blown away by the amount of effort Ed puts into the workshop, from the workbook, to the personal attention...He's (Edward) is an open book and always available.
- Debbie Belyeu, The Expressive Landscape Print Workshop
The best time I've ever had with a camera!

The workshop helped me see Yosemite for more than just the waterfalls and Half Dome so I could create images that show the soul of the park. This is something I'll take with me for the rest of my life.

The Edward Mendes Photography Workshops These series of workshops have been a long time in the making, after many years of requests from clients and other photographers I've finally decided to do something I love, share and teach photography. I've had the opportunity to travel to some of the most beautiful places in the world to photograph, the workshops are a unique way for me to share my knowledge and experience of these places and photography with you. When designing the workshops I wanted to do two things, first, make them accessible to everyone, with that in mind, the workshops are priced to fit anyone's budget. Secondly, I wanted to give each person individual attention, so I'm keeping each workshop very small. Each workshop is a uniquely designed for people who love landscape and nature photography to take advantage of the best conditions possible for wonderful images. These aren't just workshops, their photo adventures! A bit about Edward I am a professional landscape and nature photographer, my work has been published in many publications and shown around the world including Hong Kong, Copenhagen, London and New York. My work is represented by galleries both in the United States and Internationally and is in many private collections including that of Microtek USA and Kaiser Permanente. I have also taught many workshops for galleries and photography organizations and love to get out in the field and share my knowledge with other photographers.

Anytime0 Would you like a workshop that caters specially to your needs as a photographer? If so a private workshop may be perfect for you. We'll discuss your photographic goals for the workshop and I'll take a look at some of your work to help create a workshop that is perfect for you. During a private workshop we can spend time in the field shooting, in the classroom learning or a combination of the two. You need help with exposure, composition or Photoshop training to produce fine art print and then end the workshop with a day or two in the field using what you've learned to create better images. I want you to get the most out of the workshop as possible so I like to teach private workshops at locations I know very well, below you will find current locations for private lessons.
