“I got the opportunity to spend some time with Susan and Neil at one of their workshops, and I have to say, I have honestly never seen instructors work as hard as they do to make certain their students got more than their money’s worth. They are passionate, thorough, and awfully fun teachers who are totally dedicated to giving their students the best workshop experience possible and I can’t recommend them enough. Worth every penny and then some!”

“Over the years I’ve worked with some of the most highly rated nature photography instructors & photographers in the world, including, John Shaw, the late Galen Rowell, Art Wolfe, David Muench, and many more. Susan and Neil Silverman are two of the very best teachers and shooters I’ve had the honor to work with! If you do a workshop with them, I can assure you that you will learn a lot and have a great time in the process!”

“I’ve worked with Susan and Neil quite a few times. I really enjoy working with them as an instructor, they’re very personable yet informative. Their instructive qualities are great, especially on their selected location sites. The thing I enjoy most is sharing with them the creative spirit and I look forward to doing it again soon.”

“I hope you are doing well.  I loved our workshop and I won the metal print from Bay Photo in your raffle.  I just received the metal print, and it looks great.  I am going to have more prints made by them.  Incidentally, I was just up in Truckee with my daughter and family, and we saw a lot of beautiful photos  printed on metal in galleries there.  Please keep me on your list for future  classes and workshops.
