Field-Based Photography Workshops

"You don't just teach photography. You also teach how to THINK about photography. That makes all the difference." ~Bob S.

"Colleen’s workshops go beyond the technical and help me to explore the magic of what I’m seeing." ~Cathy P.

"She has a beautiful gift to teach and to stretch a person’s ability to think out of their box." ~Kaylyn F.


My goal as a photographer, instructor, and human being is to help others feel brave enough to express themselves in their most authentic way possible while safely exploring the Great Outdoors.

Take your photography skills, passion for the outdoors, and love for adventure to the next level on my exciting, educational, and inspirational photography workshops!

Because my instructional workshops differ from many others out there, please review my Teaching Philosophy page prior to registering for a workshop to ensure my approach is a good fit for you.

Half full already!


I maintain waitlists for all sold out workshops, so if you would like to add your name to a session that is currently full, please contact me at colleen@colleenminiuk.com.

Should a spot open up on the trip, I contact those on the waitlist in the order the requests were received. First come, first served. Those on the waitlist who do not get into the workshop this year get priority on registering for the next year's session, should I offer the workshop again.

I have a number of additional workshop and conference opportunities that I'll announce on a rolling basis as things come together.

Of course, if you have any requests for locations or private trips, please shoot me a note. I'm happy to put together custom workshops for private groups upon request!

Looking forward to helping you in your photographic and creative journey. See you out there!
