To this end, she teaches photo courses online and locally, and offers workshops globally.

Athena's work is published in various books, magazines and websites and has been printed and hung around the world in private homes and businesses. Traveling extensively in search of new experiences, she has lived on four continents, and currently resides in Switzerland. Her keen appreciation for the natural beauty of our planet drives her excitement about each new destination.

Testimonials

I advanced by leaps and bounds in both my photography skills and Photoshop skills. Varina and Jay are great teachers!
Ken Kurzweil
I love your photography and your instructional videos and eBooks!
Lenize ZikaOrlando, Florida
I have been trying to understand Hyperfocal Distance since I first picked up a camera about a year ago. I have had several people explain it to me, but I never understood it as well as I do after watching your tutorials. They are so clear and easy to understand.
Sue AtkinsonWestern Australia
Having Jay and Varina as instructors opens up a totally new perspective to Landscape photography.
Vikram JayaramanSan Jose, California
Jay and Varina do a great job of instructing through your video’s. I’ve brought some other big name Landscape photographers but Visual Wilderness Video Tutorials are much better quality!
Glen LawrenceQueensland, Australia
Thank you for your Hyperfocal Distance Course. That answered and made it so easy to understand what HD is and how and when to use. Perfect.
Bill DomanskyIowa, USA
Like all other educational material that you’ve produced, the Essential Filter Course is simply wonderful! You both have the gift for imparting knowledge in a simple and straightforward manner.
Paul PetersBritish Columbia, Canada
I have to say, you both are great teachers. I’ve learned so much from The Ultimate Landscape Photography & Focus courses I’ve purchased.
Lorian KeramarisToronto, Canada
Essential Filters Course would have saved me from frustrating photos that were a result of using filters wrong or not understanding when and how to use them.  Another great tutorial series from Jay & Varina.
Tom HealyPortland, Oregon
My wife and I bought your video courses In Sharp Focus and Hyperfocal Distance. We loved them!!
