Rodeo & Western Lifestyle Workshop
"This workshop, run by Joe and Lisa Duty, is one of the best I have ever attended. They are very knowledgeable and helpful for every participant’s photographic needs. The workshop was structured to cover a variety of subjects and photographic treatments to please everyone. They made everyone feel they were a valued member of the group, no matter what level of photographic expertise each person brought to the workshop. That level of inclusion in the group process, and support is rare in my experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending Joe and Lisa Duty to anyone considering any of their workshops or tuition, and hope I shall have the privilege of working under their guidance again.”

"I loved the down to earth feel of the class. I felt comfortable asking questions. Great teachers with lots of knowledge and they broke it down in a basic, easy to understand format. I am now able to work the camera I have had for years!”
