Editors pick in the black and white category for The Independent Phtographer. I shot the image last November in San Antonio de Areco, Argentina during the annual Tradición festival. Shooting Areco during Tradición is a personal photography project I’m currently working on.

It’s been wet here making stream flows high—thank goodness—and the landscape super green.

New work in The FlyFish Journal. Roosterfish shot last December in Mag Bay while on an assignment for Costa Sunglasses.
Here’s a short clip I shot while out at Faraway Cay in Honduras on a recent two week trip. In short, staying at and fishing from this remote key (island) is nothing short of amazing. Permit are the draw—and anglers have more shots at them than any other place I’ve been. The remoteness, location, and Honduran guides though make this an even more special place…
I will be hosting trips in 2024 to Faraway again and please reach out if you’re interested. Their season is March through May.

Nick—
“Put yourself in positions where you can experience awe. Being yourself is being different! Find images you love and figure out how to get those shots.”
Jessica—
“Shoot through things, shoot around things, shoot under things. Shoot into light, break all the photography rules. Do whatever you need to do to differentiate your work from other people”
Beginning with how to conceptualize shots you want to get, Jessica and Nick will walk everyone through fundamentals (for example: iso, exposure compensation, depth of field, aperture, shutter speed, etc,) to using both lecture time and time in the field with models, hatches, and scenery to put together a broad base of journalistic storytelling behind the lens.
Located in south central Idaho, Silver Creek is a low gradient spring creek rich in insect life known as the graduate school of fly fishing. It’s in a high desert prairie setting with Sun Valley and a more alpine topography 45 minutes to the north. This is a perfect location to work on fly fishing photography along with landscapes and portraits of fishing guides to farmers, ranchers, and cowboys.
Adventure Photography
“A willingness to learn!”
Everyone who attends should have a digital camera that allows for manual control. Do not feel as though you need to own a ton of lenses. Jessica and Nick will discuss the pros and cons of a variety of different lenses along with their respective max apertures. Nick spent his first three years shooting with only a 35 mm ƒ2 lens.
Ideally everyone will have a laptop enabling downloading imagery taken during the class, some light post production work (Adobe Lightroom), and photo critiques at the end of the 2 ½ day class.
New work in the latest issue of The FlyFish Journal. This is a piece that I’ve been super excited about as people who know me understand that a ton of what I love to photograph extends well beyond fly fishing. To see the entire piece check out the new / current issue.

I just got back from a trip to San Antonio de Areco, Argentina. It was my first time there during their annual Tradición festival: an old gaucho festival and arguably the most important in Argentina. The images from this trip are for a personal photography project of mine on Areco and the people and traditions of.
The image below is available as a limited edition fine art print with a run of 25 plus 1 AP. Email for pricing and sizing.

Here’s a new shot from a recent trip to Puerto Rico. The number of tailing fish we saw was absurd yet they were, like most permit, still really challenging. Below is an image of a tailing permit I took on a stunning flat that’s about 2 miles long. I spent over 6 hours one day walking this flat with Pat Duke and I’d gladly put the day on repeat.
Thanks to No Name Lodge for making this trip happen.
The image below is available as a fine art print.

Just back from a great trip to No Name Lodge in Puerto Rico. This is an incredible permit and tarpon fishery that for whatever variety of reasons has yet to be tapped into as far as fly fishing goes…
