Destination: Lisbon Portugal , A Lucitano Experience – April 20 - 26 , 2026

How do you move beyond the traditional horse-and-handler portrait and create an image that truly reflects the relationship between a horse and their person? In this 30-minute on-demand class, international equine photographer and educator Scott Trees shares his approach to commissioned equine portrait sessions — focusing not only on lighting and composition, but also on trust, expression, and emotional connection. Photographing a horse is challenging. Adding a person raises the difficulty even further. Both must look natural, relaxed, and connected — while light, background, and timing all come together in a single moment. In this class, Scott walks through the real-world variables involved in creating meaningful equine portraits, including: • Choosing effective camera and lens combinations • Location and background considerations • Natural and supplemental lighting decisions • Working with both horse and handler to encourage genuine interaction • Directing the person without interrupting the horse Using examples from his own international assignments, Scott also shares how he looks for something different in every session — moving beyond posed images to create photographs that feel authentic, emotional, and lasting. This class is ideal for photographers who want to elevate their equine portraits and create images that communicate connection — not just correct exposure. Streaming video – watch online.

The Artful Dodger: Dodge And Burn for Impact

In this 30-minute on-demand class, international photographer and educator Scott Trees demonstrates how subtle, intentional dodging and burning can dramatically improve the visual impact of your images. Modern cameras make it easy to create technically correct photographs. What often separates a good image from a compelling one, however, is how light and tone are shaped after the moment of capture. Dodging (lightening) and burning (darkening) are straightforward tools to learn — but knowing where and how to apply them requires visual judgment and experience. In this class, Scott shares the same approach he uses in his own work, showing how selective tonal adjustments can: • guide the viewer’s eye through the frame  • enhance depth and dimensionality  • strengthen mood and emotional presence  • bring attention to what truly matters in the image Throughout the class, each principle is demonstrated using real examples from Scott’s own photographs, with clear explanations of not only how the adjustments are made, but why they are made. This class is ideal for photographers working in any subject area who want to develop stronger visual control and learn how light and tone can quietly — but powerfully — transform an image.

Destination, Seville Spain, An Andalusian Experience, October 13 - 19, 2026

In workshops and portfolio reviews, I often see a student who clearly saw the image — but the final photograph doesn’t fully deliver what they felt at the moment. Most of the time, it isn’t a technical problem. It’s composition. And more often than not, a smarter crop is the difference between pretty good and wow. In this on-demand class, I use my own photographs to demonstrate clear before-and-after examples, breaking down exactly what changed — and why. You’ll see how small, intentional shifts in framing can: • strengthen the subject • simplify distractions improve visual balance  • guide the viewer’s eye where you intended This class focuses on how to finish a photograph — using cropping as a compositional tool, not as a rescue technique. What’s included • Before-and-after comparisons using Scott’s own images • Composition thinking you can apply to any subject  • Practical cropping decisions that improve impact without over-editing This class is ideal for photographers who want their images to feel more intentional, more refined, and more emotionally focused — without changing cameras, lenses, or software.
