My MN Road Trip and the Next HDR Workshop:

by Gavin Seim: Dynamic range is something I’m constantly studying. I started using HDR officially in 2007 and have not stopped since, but as I’ve gone forward, I’ve come to understand that it’s more than just this modern style we call HDR. I’ve become a student of light and range in my photography and I enjoy sharing that, because it’s so huge that most photographers are barley scratching the surface of how powerful light dynamics are.

After the success of my Incredible HDR workshop in WA last Fall, I’m ready to roll again. This time I have even more tricks up my sleeve. I’ll be going all the way to Twin Cites MN, right up near my buddy DZ. I must confess I’m a little trepid about planning something so far from home. I’m also excited about the plan. I’m fulfilling a dream here as I’ve been wanting to hit the road for years. This will be the longest road trip I’ve ever taken. I’m just now closing on a brand new 2011 Forest River 21ss travel trailer, and around the beginning of Sept, me and my little family will be loading up and talking a photo tour all the way up to MN. I know my material for this workshop, but after a week and a half on on the road making photos I’m going to be loaded with ideas and ready to spill them.

What’s even more exciting is that this is just the beginning. God willing, I plan to continue these road trips, teaching workshops and seeing new places with my wife and kids. I hope to hit the road again next spring for an even longer trip, build my archive or travel and fine art photos and just hone my skills. Anyways I’m looking forward to seeing some of you there and studying dynamic range together. This three day collaborative workshop from Sept 14-16 2010. All the details and registration info can be found here.

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
