Learn travel photography in a simple, friendly and inspiring way. My classroom-based workshops in Denver focus on helping travelers understand their camera, plan intentional shots and capture meaningful images on their next trip.

In addition to workshops, I speak at corporate events, conferences and community groups.

What People Are Saying
I absolutely loved learning from McCory! He is incredibly knowledgeable and does such a great job breaking things down in a way that actually makes sense. He shared so much wisdom, technique, and practical tips that I know will totally change the way I take photos when I travel.”
— Jayne H
“The class was fabulous! McCory presented us with useful tips on how to take pictures but more importantly, he took us through the way to set up the perfect shots. The little tricks that bring a photo to life. Great class and I'll take any others he teaches.”
— Rip R
“McCory brings to his students and clients a genuine love of the art and a keen eye for the human element. He further conveys the critical elements of the art of photography to his students in ways that not only help them improve their own skills, but apply them effectively as they explore the world through the lens themselves.”
