Just came back from the Mystic forest workshop and I couldn't recommend Sapna more!
Sapna is committed to delivering a fantastic experience, and as a skilled photographer, instructor and guide, she has a recipe for exceeding expectations.
She knows the location, does her diligence on scouting and makes good decisions based on evolving weather conditions -- maximizing the opportunity to shoot in great conditions.
Sapna provides high quality instruction and individual attention in the field, ranging from composition to technical details. She kicks it up several notches with the excellent image review, critique session and post-processing tips. Lastly, she is truly on your side providing unwavering encouragement, support and inspiration. She skillfully straddles the line between catering to the needs & constraints of individuals while tuning the workshop for the whole group. I had an incredible experience, and just signed up for my next workshop with Sapna!

I attended the 2023 Majestic Yosemite Workshop with Sapna Reddy and can thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their photography skills. If you want to see how the professionals get the results they do, just spend a few days with Sapna. Not only are her skills exceptional, but her vision and enthusiasm are what makes this an experience that you don't want to miss. Just watching her excitement as she sees the world through her viewfinder is worth the price of admission. And you will return home with some amazing shots but the experience is what you will remember and be able to tap into for years to come.

Wow! I loved everything about the workshop with Sapna.  Her contagious enthusiasm set the tone for the entire weekend right from the start.  I felt like she genuinely wanted everyone to have a great experience and capture stunning images.  She had researched all the best locations prior to the workshop, and made sure that we had ample opportunities to get to them.  In the field, she gave us individual guidance on compositions, subjects, and camera settings.  I came away from the workshop with new perspectives on landscape photography and a ton of inspiration.  It was by far the best workshop I have attended, and I would not hesitate to attend any of hers in the future.

While attending a photography workshop with Sapna Reddy, not only did she make sure we got to the most interesting places at the right time for the best light, she offered technical knowledge, constructive critique, and tips for moving forward with our photography. She also taught our small group some editing techniques and ways to more effectively use our equipment. It’s always enjoyable to share photography with like-minded individuals through a workshop experience. But it is especially rewarding when the leader is fully engaged in helping each participant improve their skills. If you have the opportunity to attend a workshop with Sapna, DO IT!

"I just returned from my first workshop with Sapna and all I can say is WOW! One only needs to look at her work to understand her talent as a photographer. As importantly, she has a gift for helping others with the aesthetic and technical elements necessary for creating a great image. She helped me immensely in both areas and inspired me to step up my commitment to photography. I'm looking forward to attending my next workshop with Sapna."

I just returned from taking Sapna’s Mystic Redwoods workshop, and I have to say that I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience.  Sapna is a wonderful instructor, and her positivity and enthusiasm for nature photography creates a wonderful learning environment.  The workshop is kept to a small number of participants, allowing Sapna to give a lot of individual attention to each participant in the field. She pays particular attention to image composition, and getting you to understand how to get the best out of your image.  This was easily one of the best photography workshops I have attended, and I intend to sign up for more of Sapna’s workshops in the future. 

Landscape photography is an art that demands continual dedication and insight to enhance one's skills. I have been immersed in capturing landscapes for several years, and my passion has been recognized through nominations for international awards. However, when I discovered Sapna Reddy's breathtaking images, I felt a surge of inspiration and made the decision to attend her workshop, hoping to elevate my own photography. To say that I was not disappointed would be an understatement. Sapna is an awe-inspiring force of nature, blessed with an unlimited capacity to find inspiration in the splendor of her surroundings, along with an innate understanding of subtle color palettes. Even as a radiologist accustomed to analyzing black and white images, Sapna possesses a remarkable appreciation for color and how to harmonize them within landscape photography. What truly sets Sapna apart is her infectious enthusiasm for her craft. She ensures that her students are in the right place at the right time, maximizing their opportunities to capture extraordinary moments. I vividly recall an unforgettable morning in the redwood forest when, despite the initially unremarkable conditions, Sapna's keen eye detected a fine veil of fog approaching. With incredible precision, she guided us to a prime location, anticipating the imminent arrival of the fog within minutes. Though the fog dissipated quickly, we were blessed with the perfect window to capture its ethereal beauty in our images. Other photographers on the trail failed to notice the fog and missed out on this fleeting spectacle, as they were preoccupied photographing in the wrong direction. In landscape photography, experience, a sense of drama, and an appreciation for beauty are invaluable assets. Sapna's workshop not only refined my technical skills but also instilled in me a deeper understanding of how to seize moments of transcendent beauty. It was a transformative experience that continues to shape my artistic journey.

I had a great experience at Caddo Lake. There were a lot of factors that made this both an enjoyable and productive workshop.  One important factor was that Sapna knew the area. This included not only where and when to go to certain areas but understanding the local supporting cast, the locals who supplied the boats and guided us to key parts of the lake.   

 The accommodations were great. Life is good when I can have my Cheerios and coffee in the morning, a shower, and a comfortable bed. Not to be forgotten was that we were close to all our venues.  

 Previously I have gone to four workshops which also had great venues. What differentiates Sapna's workshop from the others was her enthusiasm to teach and work with individuals. Under the theme of personal vision, I learned new ideas and techniques as we went from the field to producing the final photo. Bottom line is I have gotten better and more critical in the photographic process.  I came away with two or three portfolio photos and many great shots.

"I had been following Sapna’s work for years and was excited when she posted a workshop in the coastal redwoods of Northern California. The workshop experience was excellent. Her infectious enthusiasm encouraged our creativity even on the last day when it rained. I really appreciated her hands-on training while in the field and in 1:1 help with processing. Sapna is an excellent landscape photographer, a wonderful workshop leader and teacher".

I joined Sapna for the Mystic Forest workshop, and everything was perfect.  The small group size ensured all of the individual attention anyone wanted, and minimized our impact on the forest.  It was very helpful to learn some of the in-field processes Sapna uses to create her beautiful images.  Her familiarity with the area gave us great composition opportunities.  I went home with many quality images for my portfolio.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed to make at least five images worth printing on a big canvas. My passion for photography was reignited, thanks to Sapna. Her zeal and energy to make sure I got all the opportunities to get great shots is unbelievable. I learned so much in the Colors of California workshop. Plus the experience was surreal. Beautiful scenery-snow covered mountains, frozen lakes, peace and quiet, spectacular sunrise and sunsets, it felt like we were on a different planet. It was such a wonderful experience that I did another photo workshop recently with Sapna in Death Valley. I will be going to Redwood forest in June and California fall colors in October and hoping to attend many more of her workshops.

I have attended two workshops with Sapna in Yosemite and the Eastern Sierra. My experience has been outstanding!! I feel I have learned so much from her and the groups have been great! Sapna is a very talented photographer who wants you to get better and capture some excellent images while together. What I really appreciate about her is the teaching aspect. She focuses on helping you with composition, technique and processing, all while taking in some wonderful sights! I consider her a friend at this point and very much look forward to our next adventure together. Thank you Sapna.

I am already planning my next workshop with Sapna. She has an excellent eye for exciting compositions, does a great job in planning her workshops and she is a skilled educator. She also has a great sense of humor. What more are you waiting for?

The Fire and Ice Workshop in Iceland was my first workshop with Sapna, a very memorable trip full of great locations, and photography tips/insights to build my confidence througout the trip. Understanding how Sapna sees the Photographic opportunity of a location and how she wants to capture the scene is invaluable. I am looking forward to an opportunity to attend another wowrkshop lead by Sapna in the coming year.

The Mystic Forest Workshop with Sapna Reddy was incredible!  She knew exactly where to go for some beautiful compositions.  Sapna was knowledgable, friendly and diligent about helping each one of us.  I have booked another workshop with her and am looking forward to another wonderful experience. Thanks Sapna!

I attended Sapna's Redwood forest photo workshop with a friend. Even though the workshop is only about 3 days, I learned a lot from Sapna, and enjoyed tremendously the beauty of the redwoods, rhododendrons, and the ocean coast. I came back refreshed, inspired and feeling we were away for a month! Sapna took us to the places that I wouldn't know to go myself as she scouts each place thoroughly before every workshop. We changed the course depending on the weather each day, and I appreciate that Sapna made sure we found the most photographic places at every moment. Sapna gave individual attention to each of us, and we all got help depending on our own skills. What's next? I signed up for 2 more workshops with Sapna!
