Brand Partners
We're very fortunate to have the support of some brands that believe in photography and creativity as much as our instructors.
Every brand that partners with us is one whose gear or services we use regularly, if not exclusively. Their vision creating products that enable creativity is something we appreciate as active artists and commercial photographers.
Each partner brings value for the workshop attendees, too! You will have access to benefits from our partners at the workshops. Not signed up yet? Check out our workshops.
Acratech is a family-run manufacturer of quality and innovative ball heads and accessories. We absolutely love their GP and GPSS ball heads for all of our day and night work. All Acratech products are meticulously machined in their small facility in California. We are absolutely amazed (and thankful) that they have somehow created a variety of ball heads under 1 pound that support over 25 pounds. Never worry about your camera support again with Acratech!
Some of the best printing in the business today is being done by Bay Photo Lab. Their products are industry-leading and include prints on metal, canvas, wood, tile and of course, extremely high-quality papers.
BenQ offers a broad range of products, services and solutions. National Parks at Night uses and recommends Benq digital projectors and professional monitors, which provide brilliant detail and incredibly accurate color.
B&H Photo has been a supporter of photographers of every level for 50 years. We are attracted to their integrity, world-class customer service and fair prices.
Calibrite is an integral part of our photographic workflow from capture to post-processing. Their color targets, colorimeters and software ensure that our color, brightness and contrast start from a verified and repeatable point of truth. This gives us the confidence to embark on our own creative edits knowing that the color science is accurate from the very beginning.
Coast Portland is a brand steeped in the Pacific Northwest's heritage. They are purveyors of amazing flashlights, multitools and knives—all essential items for the outdoor lifestyle. We love their flashlights a whole bunch; they're among the best light-painting torches available!
Irix lenses offer affordable ultrawide-angle choices without compromising image quality. Their fast 15mm f/2.4 and world’s widest rectilinear full-frame 11mm f/4 lenses provide truly outstanding optics in impressively well-built housings.
Novoflex provides precision-engineered tripod support solutions with a clever system approach. This means we can mix and match our tripod components to meet the challenges we have while making night photography. Changing legs types or sizes, changing the tripod spider, as well as changing the accessories we use (such as panorama gimbals) is easy and reduces what we carry, all while increasing our capabilities.
PhotoPills is the most comprehensive photo planning app there is, with dozens of useful features to ensure success with even the most complicated photographs. From calculating star points or trails to remotely figuring out when is the best time to get a specific shot, PhotoPills does it all.
Tether Tools provides tons of support for photographers. We especially love their Case Relay System, which provides long-term power to almost every current camera on the market. This ensures that we can keep on clicking long into the night without the need to swap out batteries.
Vallerret photography gloves enable photographers to extend their cold-weather session in comfort and in style. Utilizing 100 percent merino wool as nature's best weapon against the cold and designed specifically for photographers, you can access your dials and buttons without freezing your hands.
