The Iceland trip was unbelievably wonderful and Matt made the entire workshop smooth, educational and easy to concentrate on just taking beautiful pictures. We already knew one of the other gentlemen going to Iceland, since we had attended a Bald Eagle Photo Workshop (2015) with Richard and was looking forward to meeting Ian (see his review). It was our first trip out of the country and we knew that it would be an incredible trip with Matt handling the Photo Workshop when we got there. When Matt offered a photographic workshop to do Landscapes in Iceland, we just had to go. Once you take a photo workshop with Matt Shetzer - it will not be your last! I am very enthusiastic about Shetzers workshops and recommend them highly without reservation. This is also a good opportunity for participants to show their new photos. Of course Matt cannot control the weather but he makes good use of “downtime” to give informal talks on technique. However he is always nearby, ready to help and advise. He takes participants to some great photographic locations but does not push any particular approach, instead encouraging individuals to explore the possibilities themselves. He has extensive knowledge of a wide range of photographic techniques and equipment that he is more than willing to share. Matt is a highly accomplished photographer (see his web site). ![]() The workshops are open to photographers of all levels. The cost is very reasonable, especially considering that accommodation, meals and transportation during the workshop are included. The number of participants is small, typically 4-6. They are meticulously organized, running smoothly from beginning to end. I have attended many photographic workshops over the years but, for me, Shetzers are the best. Other workshops offered by Shetzers feature grizzly bears (Alaska), birds and nature (Costa Rica) and fall colors (Colorado). I have already signed up for South Texas Birds and Stars in February. This was not my first Shetzers workshop-I attended the Hummingbird Workshop in Ecuador and the Bald Eagle Workshop in Alaska, both very enjoyable and productive. It was a great introduction to Iceland and I came home with photos that I am very pleased with. I recently returned from Shetzers Iceland Photographic Workshop. I would highly recommend this workshop and you, as a workshop leader, to anyone! ![]() ![]() So much to be impressed by: the quality of your instruction, both as it related to the use of our equipment to produce optimum in-camera images as well as the post processing workflow guidance, your knowledge of the area and eagle behavior and, of course, the amazing beauty of our surroundings.īut beyond that, it was the more subtle aspects of your work that really made for a special trip: your constant focus on us as your customers, the care you take to go the extra mile in scouting out uniquely special places and the relationships you maintain with the local community that pay big dividends for you and your customers! We really enjoyed our time with you at the Haines workshop! I’m looking forward to your other workshops.” His attention to detail and professionalism make this a first class workshop. Matt will sacrifice getting his photos to ensure that everyone in the group is paying attention to the elements, ISO, aperture, etc. “There’s plenty of time out in the field to get great and unforgettable photos.
