Iām excited to share a special photography experience Iāll be co-leading next springāone thatās all about birds, behavior, and being fully immersed in the field.
Birds, Birds & More Birds Photography Retreat
š Florida
š March 8ā12, 2026
March in Florida is one of the most electrifying times of year for bird photography. Itās peak breeding and courtship season, when colonies erupt with color, movement, ritual displays, and new life. Feathers flare, mates dance, chicks hatchāand the opportunities for meaningful, dynamic images are everywhere.
Iāll be joined by fellow OM SYSTEM Ambassadors Steve Morello, Lisa Cuchara, and Tom Cuchara for this immersive retreat designed to inspire, challenge, and elevate your photographyāregardless of where you are on your creative journey.
This experience blends:
- Thoughtful fieldcraft
- Creative vision and storytelling
- Modern camera techniques and computational tools
- And most importantly,Ā time in nature with mentors who genuinely care about your growth
Whether youāre hoping to capture dramatic birds-in-flight, intimate moments between parents and chicks, or the subtle beauty of courtship behavior, weāll guide you every step of the way.
What to expect:
- š£ 8 carefully chosen shooting locations
- š£ 2 hotels
- š£ 4 experienced ambassadors
- š£ All skill levels welcome
- š£ Any camera system welcome
Like all OM SYSTEM Retreats, this is about more than settingsāitās about creativity, community, and learning to see more deeply.
