What Makes NCPW Different from Other Photo Workshop Companies?
- NCPW is an authorized permittee of the National Park Service. All necessary permits required by all of our shooting locations will be obtained for each workshop.
- The principal instructor - Ledra Woodlee - is not just a tour leader. She brings over 15 years of teaching experience to the table. Ledra has a strong background with photo technique as well as an understanding of a variety of photography gear.
- Group size - Always reasonable - There will never be too many people in a photography class to offer individual attention to anyone who needs it.
- The workshops are about YOU - instructors are there to teach, period. They do not do their own shooting to the detriment of the students.
- Pre-Scouted Locations - Your first time there will NOT be OUR first time there.
- Workshops are also about having FUN! Some instructors can take the fun right out of photography. That will NEVER happen on NCPW workshops. You will likely laugh more on one of our workshops than you have in months!!
About NCPW
The NCPW Story
All Natural Connections Photo Workshops (NCPW) events and trips are planned and taught by the company's owner, Ledra Woodlee.
Started in 2009, Natural Connections Photo Workshops is the physical manifestation of its owner and founder’s love of travel, landscape and outdoor photography. Ledra Woodlee is the force behind this photographic venture and she loves what she does - leading photography workshops around the country for people who like to travel, learn photography and have lots of fun while doing it!
Through classroom lecture, image critique and hands-on instruction in the field, students are offered the opportunity to address their specific needs and to develop their own photographic talents and interests.
In 2012, Ledra developed a passion for a new and exciting line of equipment – Olympus mirrorless cameras. She officially switched to the Olympus OM-D line of camera gear after almost 15 years with a well-known DSLR brand. In 2016 Ledra was the inaugural member of a new pro group with Olympus, the Olympus Educators. Today Ledra is a Featured Pro with Olympus and her info can be found HERE.
Once Ledra made the switch to smaller, lighter mirrorless, she never looked back. Small, light, compact and powerful products only enhance her ability to instruct and be available for her students at all times.
Ledra also teaches at the Atlanta School of Photography and for the Blue Ridge Mountains Arts Association.
With a background in retail photography sales and service, Ledra possesses a broad knowledge of photography gear as well as photographic technique. Everything she has learned in the photo retail environment only serves to deepen her knowledge and ability to help workshop participants in the classroom as well as in the field. Plus, if you want to learn more about your Olympus gear, she is an expert and can help you with all of your Olympus questions.
Don't shoot Olympus? No problem! You can receive whatever help you need with any camera brand on NCPW workshops.
