Announcing: 1-on-1 Workshop Program
Effective immediately, I am offering private instruction. This has been something that I find rewarding, enjoyable, and frequently requested.
This educational service will be offered on a 1-on-1 basis in my studio office in St. George, Utah. This facility is fully equipped with three powerful work stations, multiple calibrated monitors, Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2, and host of professional photographic applications to render the ultimate in image presentation. I use the very latest in printers: the Epson Pro 7900 and the Epson Photo R1900. Your prints for the day are your to take with you.
I plan to meet your needs in individual training centered on five possible themes:
- Creativity (concept, approach, possibilities, exercise, etc)
- Image management (ingestion, ranking, key-wording, archiving, etc.)
- Editing (the basics and more)
- Output (print, web, video, etc)
- Presentation (matting, framing, hanging, selling, etc)
These sessions are aimed at the Outdoor Photographer facing the challenges of natural light. This encompases, landscape, scenic, nature, street, and documentary work. (For now, studio and flash components are not a consideration.) This a natural outgrowth of many of the topic and concepts I have been teaching for years at seminars and DSLR Boot Camps.
Obviously, that is a broad palette from which to choose. I will work you ahead of the session to define and prioritize your needs so the program is crafted to be of most use to you.
I am very close to Zion National Park (and hundreds of other equally amazing scenic gems). As a result, you can come to the park, and take private lessons with me.
The base charge for a day of private studio lessons is $275/day, prepaid at time of reservation. I live 2 hours from the Las Vegas airport along I-15. Should you wish to book 2 or more days in a row, you are welcome to use my comfortable guest bedroom gratis. Significant others that merely observe or have their own agenda are not charged.
I also will accompany you into the field for shooting if you need my skills for guiding and/or photographic instruction. The same terms apply.
This offer is subject to availability. Once payment is made, your reservation is considered firm. I accept check, Visa, and MasterCard. Please contact me at bkulon@hotmail.com or 330-635-7557.
I sincerely hope to see you in the glorious Southwest – the best concentration geography and art in our country.
High Desert: The exploration begins
I just spent a few days with my buddy Jerry Emery guiding me to some of the scenic treasures around home. There is an amazing place called Snow Canyon State Park about 5 miles north of me. Slick rock, sandstone spires, high desert flora, lava beds, amazing geography. No real photography yet; just getting oriented and marking the GPS. I plan to make these places repeated, persistent haunts to capitalize on “being in the right place at the right time”. Tomorrow there may be a light dusting of snow in the canyons.
My first series of field workshops will entail the treasures of the High Desert.

In the back of my mind
I am moving to St. George, Utah – that is hardly news. The reason, put simply, involves opportunity, climate, quality of life, spiritual growth, a natural beauty.
I wanted to mention a few ideas I have that may be of interest to my NE Ohio friends. No promises, but here’s what my sketchy plans are…
- Workshops – I will be organizing popular destination Photo Tours commencing this Fall. Conceptually, these will involve the obvious (Zion, Bryce, etc.) as well as the hundreds of insider secret locations that have equally glorious scenery and easier access. The durations and timings will be a bit varied. Weekends, mid-week, all-week. There will be much assistance in the field, but no classroom component itself. Note: for Zion workshops, we must wait until November for automotive access, prior to that park tour buses must be used. I plan an October photo tour with golden aspens; December or January tour for special winter vantages.
- One-On-One – this will become a very large part of what I do. For people wanting the personal insight into advanced methods, discovery of those little out of the way treasures, and specific interests. I will book myself by the day. Here’s the deal. You fly into Vegas on your dime; I’ll pick you up and cart you around in my SUV; I’ll put you up in my guest bedroom/bath in the Heart of St.George; I’ll pay for gas; you pay for all your own meals. Price? $495/day or portion thereof. Subject to availability.
- Fine Art Fairs – I am not giving up on this. The market out West is much healthier and I am doing some long range planning. Obviously, my catalog will change dramatically to suit the market. I will be doing Western Landscapes, floral macros, stone abstracts, graphic derivatives, black and white. My urban abstract work and garden work will probably be reserved for my own pleasure and enjoyment. I am phasing out note cards except for smaller fill-in shows. I intend to open a real online store to avail you of my new Western work in finished editions.
- Instruction – I intend to become an operative instructor rather than an entrepreneur. I will be seeking teaching gigs with colleges, tourist spas, and community organizations. DSLR Boot Camp will take a back seat for a while – great concept, but I’m the new kid in town. I need to establish credibility.
It's all in my backyard!
