Happy Holidays from Visual Wilderness

We wanted to take some time to look at our 6th year of operations for Visual Wilderness and wish you all a very happy holidays. Here are some of the highlights from this past year.

Visual Wilderness managed to survive 2020…so far.

2020 has been a difficult year for everyone, and that includes all of us here at Visual Wilderness. We’ve been forced to make major changes to our business model – including teaching online workshops from our own homes instead of filming in remote locations, cancelling events and gatherings, and finding ways to work together without actually being together. I am proud to say that we managed to survive this very challenging year. We also wanted to say thank you to the entire Visual Wilderness community – from our professional instructors to our customers.

EVERYTHING NOW MAKES SENSE I had given up on Lightroom due to its complexities, but after seeing Anne’s video course everything now makes sense. The numerous bite-sized video approach helped to get me started again. Anne’s voice is amazingly relaxed & easy on the ear. Lightroom is my go place when I am “cooking” my Raw photos, and now, thanks to the course, my family gets to see the photos I take.

You guys did a fabulous job teaching the Essential Filters Course  in a fairly easy and straightforward manner that we can comprehend quickly. I have already learned a lot about different tips and tricks just by watching some of your video courses. Kudos to both of you and I deeply appreciate it.

This course is exactly what I didn’t realize I’ve been looking for over the past few years: the videos, case studies, raw files, and explanations are what set this so far apart from anything else I’ve found. I have just started the course, but I can confidently say excellent job!

I thoroughly enjoyed both of my Visual Wilderness Online Classes. They opened a new horizon for me and built on the knowledge I already have. I’m glad I have access to them for a year as I still have much to absorb…doesn’t happen all at once :)))

InFocus Newsletter is an exciting publication that appeals to both experienced photos as well as newbie… always clear and to the point.

Our latest video courses & online classes were based on fine-tuning your start-to-finish workflow for some of the most important aspects of photography. These nature educational products, with a razor-sharp focus on different aspects of landscape and nature photography and are sold in over 70 countries around the world.

What is Coming in 2021?

Throughout this coming year, we plan to create more in-depth video courses on several aspects of landscape photography. In addition, producing more on-location video courses that feature workshop-style lessons as soon as we are able to travel safely.

Happy Holidays from the Visual Wilderness Team!!
