Gene took us down Black Bear Pass and up over Imogene Pass and it was spectacular! He picked us up at our location in his Jeep. We felt completely safe, as he is an experienced and capable tour guide. I really appreciated that he would stop at our request if we wanted to look at something in particular. He was super patient with us, as we are inexperienced photographers. He gave us tips on taking better photos. Gene is very personable and accommodating. I would highly recommend his tours and services. I will gladly contact Gene again when I’m back in his neck of the woods!

Just finished an excellent day with Big Sun. In addition to taking me to so many beautiful places I never knew existed, Gene was a patient and knowledgeable teacher. For example in the attached photo, we talked about the importance of the time of day for the light, the best way to achieve the composition (crouch low and find the symmetry), and popping in the flowers for color and a reference point. Make time to take this trip!

My wife, my daughter, and I went on a one-day scenery photo tour with Gene. What a day! He took us to several locations we would have probably never found on our own. In addition to the fabulous scenery he took us to, Gene is a teacher. His teaching about how to frame shots, how to work with the setting of a digital camera to capture good images, the difference between how our eyes work and how a camera takes a picture, and on and on, were simple and easy to understand. And even more valuable was the fact that that he was teaching while we were on location, where we could practice and see the results. So it was a day of fantastic scenery plus a day of Photography 101. If you want to capture some great images, and also learn about how to really use the settings of your digital camera, spend a day with Gene, you won’t regret it.

Despite being in 113 degree heat, we had a great time with Gene for 3 full days in Moab. His photography tips and instruction were invaluable and I learned quite a lot. He was very gracious, accommodating, and very flexible with scheduling, especially given the extremely hot weather. We covered a lot of ground and I got a ton of great pictures thanks to him!

My son and I surprised my husband with an eight our Jeep/photography day trip. gene spent a lot of time with me on the phone planning the trip. Gene is exceptionally gracious and helpful to ensure the trip meets your expectations. One on the trip he totally exceeded anything we thought it would be. Perfect guide, day, ride, and unbelievably gorgeous views. Came away with stunning photos too! Highly recommend!
