TestimonialsPhotographic Instruction and Workshops:"In my early days of development as a photographer I can honestly say that Mike's insight had a profound influence on my work. From camera kit, lighting techniques and shooting conditions, to artistic and creative approach, Mike always offered constructive advice which helped me experiment and refine my style. Mike has a wealth of knowledge and a broad range of experience that any budding photographer would be privileged to both learn and find inspiration from." Geraldine Allen, Photographer, Graphic Artist "OK. Just so you know- I really listened to your advice and remember it like yesterday. I wonder if you remember it? Well... now your advice has gone around the world - over the past two years I had hundreds of people asking me for tips and secrets. Your words are usually the first ones everyone hears. :)" "I first met Mike in Tuolumne Meadows the summer of 2004. Mike is friendly and approachable and a patient teacher. Mike is versed in art, philosophy, literature, science, biology and nature. From the technical aspect of what happens inside the electronics of the camera to the esoterical question of what is beautiful, Mike uses a unique blend of science and art to explain photography. Conversing with Mike is intellectually stimulating. His verbal expression is as artistic and interesting as his photography. Mike showed me that great photographs are expressions based on vision and not mere happenstance."
"If you want to learn more about nature photography - and about nature itself - Mike Spinak is your guy. Whether you are just starting to shoot, or have lots of experience under your belt, Mike is sure to teach you something new. He is the consummate, patient, and passionate teacher and mentor. If you want to learn how to truly find and see nature, and how to master the techniques that let you capture in images what you see around you, Mike will help you understand how. His encyclopedic knowledge of photographic techniques, photo gear, and nature itself have truly opened and expanded my photographic world." Marc Pawliger, Director of Engineering, Adobe Photoshop Wedding Photography: "We couldn't be more pleased with your photos of our wedding. The candid shots in particular are among the best I've seen. You really know how to capture not just the image but the personality and the feelings of the moment. We've got pictures of friends and family that we will treasure forever. Now our only problem is narrowing down our favorites to fit them into an album." Jennifer Hardy and Matt Mazurek
