This workshop was amazing! I had the best time and learned so much. There are so many details that go into taking fantastic night photos, but Matt patiently helped everyone to be successful. He has the qualities of a great teacher as well as a great photographer. At times I really appreciated this, because I had to ask the same question more than once!
The class was especially useful because of its focus on OM System Cameras! I got to learn so much more about my camera than I would have in a mixed class. Also, because we were all OM System shooters, it brought an instant cohesiveness between the other members of the class.
Finally, the instruction on post processing Milky Way photos was top notch. I am so happy with my finished products. I would suggest this class for any OM System shooter who wants to learn how to take great photos of the Milky Way!

This month I had the opportunity to spend a few days in Santa Fe taking pictures with just my iPhone under the direction of Matt Suess.
Matt’s methodical approach to first just using the iPhone lenses, then moving on to adding Reeflex lenses and he explained where and when to use them. I also learned so much about processing images and when to change the ratio of an image and even using panoramas to get the shot wanted .
It was a great time and we all had a lot of fun at dinner and joking around in the car. Thank you Matt and I hope to attend another workshop in the future.

Very good workshop. Loved the limited number of participants and that it was for Olympus camera owners only. Matt was very helpful to us all based on our level of experience. Pulling four all nighters in a row was great for images but tough on the getting old body!

While we got beat up by earth and space weather, Matt and the other leaders made the most of the available opportunities. Great locations despite the challenges.

What an ADVENTURE! Matt was an incredible leader. Matt, along with Kah-Wai, Christian and Oddo were a great team of guides. They all were very focused on providing personalized attention to each attendant. I am grateful to Matt for all his efforts to constantly find great photographic sites during challenging weather moments. I am appreciative of his photographic advice and creative insight as it helped me to capture great photos. Matt truly cared about making this trip an adventure filled with many opportunities. Matt is a great leader filled with talent and a caring spirit! I look forward to traveling with again! Thank you Matt!!
