Richard loves to teach and to share his experiences and knowledge with others. His philosophy of teaching is simple: "No secrets." He is happy to answer any question; he doesn’t hold back with sharing his knowledge; and he enjoys it when he sees his students improve and become more confident with their camera and compositions.

Richard teaches weekend courses in Adobe Photoshop in Canmore at Bow Valley College. He also leads small, intimate group photography tours to various North American locations. Sometimes the workshop is based in Canmore, while other times the group will travel as far afield as Moab, the Grand Canyon, or Vancouver Island. One thing each tour has in common: Richard carefully scouts out the trip beforehand to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Then, when he and his students arrive, they can concentrate on having fun while making beautiful photographs.

His enthusiasm and knowledge are both infectious and inspiring, and many of his workshop participants return for a second or third stint.

2005 and 2006 were successful years for his workshops, and in 2007 he will return to some of the popular destinations from those years, adding new destinations and broadening the range of topics covered.

Each of Richard's photography trips is open only to four to six people. Smaller groups mean each participant gets more one-on-one time with Richard. It also increases the fun for everyone.
