Welcome to Midwest Photo Safari

We  currently operate seven digital photography training "safari" photo "walks" in the greater Minneapolis, St Paul area. We also conduct "special" 1 or 2 day safaris in the upper Midwest. Our standard walking tours run from 3 - 5 hours, some with both morning and afternoon sessions. All of our photo safaris are aimed at novice up to and including advanced amateur photographers with all types of cameras who simply want to take better pictures or learn history of our area.

 

Our safaris take you to some of the best picture taking spots in the Twin Cities, and the upper Midwest area. There we give you some brief history of the area, to allow you to visualize creative "stories" within your images. We also cover the basics of composition and lighting, as well as some of the more advanced settings of your digital camera. You will learn to break away from the "auto" settings on your expensive SLR and unleash the creative potential of your equipment and most importantly, yourself. If you use a point and shoot digital, our safaris will teach you composition skills that will give you post card quality pictures of every place you visit.

Our tours are seasonal. The Minneapolis and St Paul outdoor walks operate until April 1st through October 31st. Our Mall of America, Light Rail, and Minneapolis Skyway tours run November 1st  through April 30th. Special and "mystery" safaris run year round.

We are currently in the process of developing wheelchair friendly tours in selected areas. If you have any comments or suggestions on this type of  tour, please contact us.
