Frank Comisar runs an excellent workshop for a very fair price. His workshops are meticulously prepared and he gets you into place to take the shot. He is there to help you, all levels, from beginners to experts. He comes to help his clients, not to take his own pictures. He is very encouraging in helping you find your own vision, not just take the icon pic. The fact that so many of the participants in his workshops are repeat clients testifies to the value of what Frank is offering. His recent Navajo Nation Workshop was my fourth.
We bought our most memorable souvenir from this shop, a black and white photo of Monument Valley. There were so many photos that took me right back to different places in and around CO.
Frank is also a wonderful instructor who works well with all skill levels and personality types and has an amazing ability to make everyone feel like they’re getting exactly what they need (customized learning). He can help people who are brand new to photography and are learning the fundamentals of photography itself, their camera and accessories, and/or their computers and photo editing software. He also is good at working with more advanced people who would like to take their photography to a next level by learning more about composition, lighting, colors or who want to learn how to enhance their photography by better matching their accessories with desired outcomes - filters, lens selection, reading histograms, etc. Finally, for the very advanced (or for self learners), he is available as needed to answer questions or offer a gentle nudge. When desired, he also knows how to leave people alone to do their own thing or learn in their own style. I highly recommend Scenic Aperture workshops.
The gallery contains a fantastic collection of Frank's images, and while you can browse with no pressure to buy, they are hard to resist. Frank also offers workshops in the magnificent locations featured in his own work. I had the best time on a Monument Valley workshop and with Frank's no-pressure assistance came away with images I was very happy to enlarge and hang on the wall.
Scenic Apertures Workshops teach "the art of the possible" for all skill levels! I have taken two workshops with Scenic Aperture and done one customized photo trip. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Frank knows all of the secret spectacular spots and can get you there easily, saving tons of time (and gas) spent looking. In addition, most of the spots are off the beaten track. They would be hard to find and difficult to get to without the proper knowledge and vehicle.
I have attended two of Frank’s workshops; Colorado Fall Colors and Monument Valley and I enjoyed both. He does a great job of getting you to the locations at the right time of the day to get the good shots. He is very helpful if you are a beginner or experienced photographer. He also has some teaching sessions on post-processing of photographs.
You can see some of the images that I captured during his workshops on my website Greg-Kluempers.artistwebsites in the Arizona/Utah and Colorado/New Mexico galleries.
