Workshop Testimonials

Attending a landscape photography workshop is an investment in your photography skills. You want to be sure you choose the right workshop and the right workshop instructor to get the most value from the workshop.

Below are testimonials from past workshop clients who have attended one of my workshops - either a group workshop or an in-person one-on-one workshop.

I recently attended a photography workshop led by Jeffrey, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Jeffrey went above and beyond to ensure every participant felt supported and valued, regardless of their skill level. He was incredibly generous with his time, answering every question in detail and providing personalized attention to each member of the group. His dedication truly stood out—no question was left unanswered, and he spent ample time with both the group as a whole and with individuals, making sure everyone’s unique needs were addressed.

What also impressed me was his ability to find stunning locations for us to photograph. His keen sense of what each participant needed allowed him to create a tailored experience that felt both personal and enriching. Jeffrey’s teaching extended beyond photography techniques; he also shared valuable knowledge about outdoor safety and protocol, from what to pack in our backpacks to navigating steep terrain. On top of that, he provided excellent guidance on Lightroom editing, which was a huge bonus.

Having been on other photography workshops, I can confidently say that Jeffrey’s stands out from the rest. His approachability, expertise, and dedication made this workshop truly special. I would highly recommend any photography enthusiast, regardless of experience level, to attend one of his workshops—you won’t be disappointed!

Jeffrey not only had great locations scoped out but in addition had many additional options ready with good details on what the additional sites would be like. This provided the group a great opportunity to pick the type of photos we wanted to get and work on.

The workshop was great. There was great teaching and sharing of knowledge. Jeffrey had scouted all the locations and knew all the great spots to capture the light.
— Dr. V
Wow! This was absolutely the best workshop experience I’ve had. The photo locations were beautiful, of course, but the best part was Jeffrey’s instruction and communication.

Jeffrey was, far and away, the best teacher of photography in a workshop setting that I’ve ever had, and it’s not even close. I plan on going on every workshop that Jeffrey schedules!

I appreciated that Jeffrey met me on my terms. He supported choices that I’ve made with my photography and gave me lots to think about, as to how to improve my pictures, and the tools to do it. He has good sense when to swoop in to help and when to lay back. All in all, a great use of my morning. Can’t wait to do it again.

If you want to upgrade your photography skills I would highly recommend Jeffrey Tadlock. He has the skills to help you improve no matter your current skill level. He is knowledgeable, easy to work with, takes his time explaining the process and very friendly.

Jeffrey had extensive knowledge of the location, the workshop was well thought out, and there was opportunity for discussion and feedback. I am looking forward to getting out and practicing what I learned. This workshop was an outstanding value!
— James
Jeffrey’s workshop was the perfect balance of instruction and guidance. It was geared toward all skill levels due to the small group size. The information I gained was very helpful and gave me confidence in many aspects of photography. I recommend it to anyone!
— Sue
I would highly recommend Jeffrey’s all-day Spring Workshop in the Hocking Hills. I had an opportunity to practice my skills, learn new skills, ask questions all day long and get the volume of reps on my Camera that I needed to improve my skills! Great investment and can’t wait to for his next workshop! Thank you Jeffrey!
— Pete
This was the first workshop that I have attended and I highly recommend a workshop with Jeffrey. The planning for the workshop was very detailed and well thought out. His previous scouting of the area was very helpful in finding compositions at the photographed areas. Great job Jeffrey!
— John
Jeffrey bridged the gap between the photography basics I had learned previously in a classroom setting and being able to capture the type of images I envisioned in my mind’s eye.

His teaching style was very down-to-earth. He was able to provide valuable solutions and information relative to my photography journey by pulling out important questions from simple conversations as well as interest in my past experiences and future goals for my photography. In addition, know that dealing with him was a pleasure leading up to our sessions he was organized, and after he summarized our meetings, ever wanting to help in any way he could. If you’re serious about improving your photography skills, I can’t recommend him enough.

I had the opportunity to learn some new photography skills from Jeffrey Tadlock by taking part in his photography workshop in Hocking Hills. Having this time to learn new skills and work one-on-one with my camera definitely gave me the chance to develop my work and further grow as a photographer. So a huge thank you to Mr. Tadlock for his amazing work as an instructor and photographer.

My 1:1 with Jeffrey was the best instruction I’ve received yet as a learning photographer! He was patient and met me where I am in terms of my photography skills. What I like most about Jeffrey is his passion for photography. His passion is evident in the way he teaches!
— Michelle
Jeffrey’s workshop was top-notch. I highly recommend his workshops if you are learning or new to landscape photography.
— Joe
I truly enjoyed Jeffrey’s workshop, it was a perfect day visiting multiple waterfalls. Although I have several years of portraiture & architectural photography experience, I walked away from the workshop with new knowledge to build my skillset.

The biggest highlight, personally, was learning how to manipulate waterfalls in an image. Jeffrey encouraged us to try different settings & play with composition to create interesting visuals. He was also familiar with the surroundings of each location which was very helpful. It was relaxing and fun with no pressure and I would absolutely do another workshop.
— Heather
Jeffrey’s workshop was exactly what I needed! A day out in nature to practice with my new camera, having the benefit of someone highly experienced to assist when I needed it. The group was the perfect size, and I found the conversation with my peers stimulating and informative. Each person had a different photography background, and I felt this helped all of us to approach the session better. Spent time talking to each participant about their experiences, and it gave the workshop an added value.

I felt like the pace was great. We spent a good amount of time at each location, and Jeffrey took the time to work individually with each participant at each location to make sure everyone understood the scene. He even threw in a bit of history about the area, which I thought was a nice touch.

I would HIGHLY recommend a workshop if landscape photography is something you are interested in.
