Some recent testimonials...



(excerpt from video)...It was a marvelous trip...Lorne went to tremendous extremes to get us more than we ever dreamed of as far as photo ops...

(excerpt from email)...I made a mistake when I decided to join Lorne Resnick’s Cuba group. I expected one thing, but I received something else. The mistake was mine - and what a great mistake it was. I assumed the trip would amount to little more than a ticket to the forbidden island on which photographic eye-candy would be plentiful. I assumed I’d have to suffer through a couple of photo-lectures concerning exposure and the rule of thirds.

I was correct about the abundance of photo opportunities, but what I didn’t anticipate was the extent to which those opportunities were “created” for me. Lorne’s knowledge of Cuba and art came together through his exhaustive efforts to provide a constant series of indescribably magnificent photo ops. The arts, the people, the landscapes, indeed the heart of Cuba, were served to me like a fabulous feast of the elements of life in this beautiful country. It became obvious that Lorne had put tremendous effort into creating situations where stunning, yet spontaneous acts of art and beauty would fill the view finder of my camera. With Lorne my trip became a spectacular triumph that exceeded my wildest dreams.

I did indeed suffer a couple of lectures, but the suffering only occurred when they ended. They were insightful and beyond educational. I wanted more. I’ve been behind the camera for nearly fifty years. I thought I had pretty much seen and heard it all. But as a result of Lorne’s group talks and his one-on-one discussions, I felt as if I was just beginning to learn how to “see”. He shattered my photographic paradigm and took me into a new dimension. He rekindled the flames of passion for photographic art. It’s a good thing digital film is so cheap. If I were still shooting Tri-X, I would have gone broke since returning from Cuba.

Yes, I made a mistake when I committed to Lorne’s Cuba trip. I thought it would be a good trip. It was far better than I had dreamed. I thought it would be educational, but it became an awakening. I can only hope to ever make another mistake half as rewarding and fulfilling.

In looking back at the workshop, I can honestly say that it was the best one I've attended. Most often workshop leaders do one or two group review sessions without giving any information on processing. While these sessions can be good learning experiences, they are nothing like your one-on-ones where you worked on images, showing us how to improve them from conception to the finished product. I also appreciate your attention to every detail making our trip run smoothly, and your filling the days with interesting and exciting things to do.

Laurel - New York, NY

(excerpt from video)...Cuba is quite possibly one of the most amazing places I've been to in the world and to have the opportunity to share it with someone who knows it so intimately and will not only make sure you get the postcard shots, but will really take you inside...From the first day I got here until today, the last day before we head home, my photography has blossomed and I'm capturing images I never thought possible. I can't recommend this enough. I leave Cuba a different person.

(from email)...The time I spent in Cuba was truly life changing. I find myself challenged explaining the experience to other people. When I tell others how heartbreakingly beautiful the country is, how amazing the people are, how great the workshop experience was, it brings me to tears.

Honestly, I never expected to get as much time with you as I did. Not only is my photography better for it, but I am as well. You can expect to see me on your next Cuba trip. I'll be signing up very soon.

Lisa - Los Angeles, CA



(excerpt from video)...I'm here in Havana with Lorne for my 2nd time within a year, because it was so good I had to come back. In your wildest dreams you've never seen so many photo opportunities.

(from email)...I just can't tell you how much I enjoyed going AGAIN. There were so many highlights! I miss Cuba already and I'm thinking about the next trip with you. I had so much fun, and there were many unique opportunities, especially things like the roof top party that you would never get any where else. Thanks for arranging that, it was such a highlight.

I have travelled to over 50 countries and experienced many different cultures as a traveler and photographer. Now having been fortunate enough to attend two Cuba photography workshops with Lorne, I would easily rank the workshops and travel to Cuba as two of my most enjoyable travel experiences. The visual richness of all aspects of the Cuban culture offer photographic opportunities that are hard to match anywhere. The great environment is complimented by the fine organization and just down right fun group atmosphere that Lorne creates to add to your visual inspiration. Even months after the trip you are constantly amazed at the moments, both photographically and personally that you experience on a visit to Cuba. It is like a great movie that you keep experiencing over and over again in your memories.

Ralph - professional photographer, Seattle, WA

The Cuba experience--now what I fondly call "My Cuba" was perhaps the most powerful experience in my life and truly transformational—I returned a changed person. For me, it was so much more than a photography workshop in Cuba--while it was hard to rank favorites, the rooftop night with those people touched my soul and heart deeply. I will forever remember our farewell hugs and how we didn't need a language, just cameras to connect with one another so deeply and with such abandon.

Lorne--You did an absolutely amazing job of planning the itinerary, so that each day built on the previous. By the time we got to day 7, and still had 3 to go, I wondered, wow, now what could top this day? And, just the workshop or just the Cuba travel experience would have been superb. But you brought the two together in such a powerfully dynamic way--so much so that it will be difficult to "settle" for a regular photography workshop from here on out.

Two aspects standout to me:

First, your expert planning and offering us experiences which no other tour guide or photography workshop leader (IMHO) could provide made it so very special. The Afro-Cuban rooftop night was so special, so beautiful to see our group and their group come together. I couldn't believe the edge of stage seating that you arranged for the Tropicana (wowie zowie)--fantastic!! Sven’s dinner party and his Cuban family (remarkable), your Cuban family (incredibly gracious and hospitable), to name a few. Connecting with the locals, that’s where the magic happens! And then your choice of dining—perfect! And the mystery and suspense of what each day and night held—that made it even more special (you are brilliant!! and so clever!). For example, the Fidel marble staircase amid the central district--that was amazing in itself. You outdid yourself with the fitting final night surprise.

Secondly, for me what made the experience so so powerful were the people—our workshop group; you and your marvelous team and the exuberant, kind, gracious, talented and fascinating people that we met and were so fortunate to spend time with. Our workshop group was amazing—such instant chemistry, and it was like every person had a role and purpose--it would not have been the same with one fewer or one more person in the group. Everyone was so generous in supporting, encouraging and lifting each other up. It was such a gift to watch people blossom and grow as people and as photographers by the end of the workshop.

I really liked the flow of the workshop from beginning to end and also from one day to the next. The sequencing is as important as the content and events of the workshop--not many workshop directors understand that. Your travel experience planning and organizational skills are superb. You have such a spot-on feel for the type of events and experiences that photographers would enjoy (plus the all-important photography details like arranging for front-row Tropicana seating). The sequencing turned what would have been a satisfying experience into a one-of-a-kind, extraordinary workshop and experience. Also the mix of each day and including some photo instruction and critique time was great. And what I liked the most was having a lot of flexibility--we could choose to tag along and take part in the planned activities or do our own thing.

Many, many thanks to you for "My Cuba" and all the best.

Peggy - Indianapolis, IN

Worth every minute! Lorne's teaching was very inspirational. He described in detail his approach to getting the most impact from your photos. His constructive and honest critique of my images was the most helpful aspect of the workshop.

Ralph - Long beach, CA

(excerpt from video)...I came on this trip with my husband, who is the photographer, but it was such an enjoyable trip I would do this again in a heartbeat. If you've ever wanted to see Cuba, this is the way to do it. Don't miss it!

Liz - Scottsdale, AZ (non-photographer participant)

Just a quick note to express my sincere appreciation for a great trip. While our "cast" could not be more diverse, our compatibility could not have been better. Everyone took care of each other, watched out for each other all while you took care of ALL the details. From my initial review of your travel workshop to our farewell coffee in Havana, everything worked exactly the way you represented it. We not only enjoyed your Cuban travel experiences, but we got expert instruction, resources and we leave with a far better eye. You not only shared your knowledge, but you shared your Cuban friendships with us and that was, exceptional.

As I sit waiting for my flight this morning, I have a smile filled with great satisfaction and emotion. Please keep me advised on future workshops, it would be great to connect again in the future.

Tony, Glendale, CA

Thank you for an outstanding experience in Cuba! The planning preparation and advice you provided prior to the journey was outstanding. You and your team put together an unforgettable workshop, down to the smallest details and the biggest surprises! Every day was well thought out, and you made sure everybody had as much access to your companionship and guidance as each individual desired (dealing with a group of twelve – that alone is a major accomplishment!).

Your ability to work with people is outstanding. Rather than being an instructor you interact more as a mentor, working with each person individually at their level. I really appreciate the kindness you had while reminding me how I could improve my skills!

Your passion of photography and your ability to share your knowledge with people made for an exceptional workshop. Your passion for Cuba made for a journey of a lifetime! You not only had each day filled with outstanding activities at various locations, you showed us a country in a way that few could experience. You introduced us to the rich history of the country, the culture of the people, and the complexity of the country. More than that you introduced us to the absolute beauty of the country and its beautiful people.

A special THANK YOU for two additional things. 1) Going out of your way to plan a fishing side excursion for me was a dream come true! 2) Never anticipated, a tooth can break (from a granola bar brought from the States) at the most unlikely place, Havana! Thank you SO MUCH for arranging my visit to the hospital and having a dentist on standby for me. My dentist said the work done in Cuba was exceptional!!!

And a big thank you to your assistant. I enjoyed every minute with the two of you! The group was exceptional too! Thanks again for the great time. I’ve been to many places around the world but Cuba and the Cuban people have a place in my heart.

Ted, Nashville, TN

Thank you again for an amazing experience!! The trip was the best time I have had in the last five years - and the most really hard laughing I have done in the same amount of time!

The Cuba experience was the best investment in myself. Lorne's passion for his craft and for the country shows through everyday. I had no idea what an amazing travel photography experience I was in for! Jump in with both feet, you will not be disappointed.

Carol - Canada

The Cuba trip was a saga that I will treasure. I was grateful to Lorne for giving 150% of himself to the participants of this trip. His knowledge of Cuba is vast, and I have never felt I got to know a country and her people the way I did on this trip. In addition, I came away with an epiphany about how to see, frame, and photograph because of Lorne. I also had an important breakthrough in overcoming my shyness in approaching people so that I might photograph them in a personal way. I am also pointing my camera at things that I used to overlook.

Michael, Palm Springs, CA

I am on my third passport and have traveled a fair amount outside of the country. What can make a trip memorable is to meet some one that can tell you to what is good about the place. Lorne did that and more. He showed us not only great photo opportunities, but the people and places that he knows from his many trips to Cuba. It was the trip of a lifetime and educational as well, even for an old film photographer like myself. Thanks Lorne!

Ron, Apple Valley, MN

Lorne’s workshop is complete in every aspect. Lorne is actively involved, asking why you like a particular shot, and then providing suggestions to make it even better. Because you are shooting from the time you get up until the time you go to sleep, your photos just keep getting better. Each day is a new, rewarding and challenging experience. Best of all when you’re back home, editing your photos, you can't wait to go back!

Thanks for the truly fantastic experience. You & your team are true professionals. I had a great time & look forward to doing it again!!

Ed, Bellevue, WA

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the amazing trip you provided. I believe that the first several days, I was just mesmerized by the culture, the people, everything. I quickly fell in love with Cuba, and learned so much by listening to you. So much that I am missing Cuba, and cannot wait to return.

I greatly appreciate all the work, and the love, that you put into this trip. I truly believe that your sincerity made the trip what it was. To learn, listen, and relate to the Cuban people. I am still in awe of all that I experienced. Again, your guidance was fantastic, and the trip was smoother than I could have imagined. The events you planned were fantastic, and the 'surprise' at the end was icing on the cake!! I am interested in attending your workshop again. I really am ready to return today! Thank you again for everything!

Dawn - Miami, FL



(excerpt from video)...This was my very first trip like this, a workshop...it turned out to be fabulous!...It's a great trip, you'll have a great time!

(from email)...I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Cuba, from several perspectives. Obviously, it a beautiful place with incredibly friendly and open people. I can't thank you enough for your willingness to share all the magic and friends you have discovered in your 15+ years of visiting Cuba. I do miss it already.

While I really loved Cuba, the part of trip that I really loved was the inspiration I gained from you. You are a great teacher and listener...patient, too. The one-on-one time and the multi-media presentation were very inspiring and helped me see in such a clearer vision as to how I will proceed with my photography from this point forward. I have some good friends who have seen my photography over time and they were very impressed with my shots and they ALL noticed a difference. Each one, in a different way, said that my images told a story. No one has ever said that about my images. I didn't have to explain what was going on in any of those images. Because of the emotion and stories it brought out from them, for the first time EVER, I actually felt like an artist. There are really no words to express how much I wish to THANK YOU for helping me get here.

You did a great job in all respects. But I really liked that you had so much planned, yet allowed us the freedom to choose to do something else. I felt everything went very smoothly. I could see your assistants and you working very hard, but I am sure that your work was like viewing an iceberg, there was probably so much more going on below the surface that we did not see as participants.

Lorne, thanks again for such a fabulous trip. I hope our paths do cross again. Thanks for so much!

Gary - Florida



(excerpt from video)...It's been a fabulous, amazing trip!..(Lorne) has unflagging energy...I can't say enough about this trip.

(from email)...Lorne, Thank you for everything you did to make this a most memorable trip. I found Cuba fascinating. I also enjoyed seeing you working with the photographers and I enjoyed sitting in on the lessons. I learned your philosophy and your steps to getting pictures that evoked passion and emotion. You are not only a great photographer, you are a great teacher and tour guide.

You made a disclaimer at the start of the trip that you where not a tour guide and I found out differently. I found the tour fascinating, well organized and non-stop. It is obvious that you have conducted this trip for a long time and have honed the details to perfection.

For all the years you have been conducting trips to Cuba, your passion and enthusiasm for the country and its people seems to continue and grow. Thanks for letting me see it through your eyes and my own. When Linda books the next trip with you, I will beg to come along.

Abe (non-photographer participant) - New Jersey

Truly a life-changing experience on many levels. I couldn’t believe how warm and receptive Cubans are to Americans. Politically, socially, architecturally - Cuba is rich with numerous things that assault your senses. As I edit my photographs, I am almost enjoying my journey there even more now – processing/enhancing images and remembering such a wide variety of things.

I must thank you again for our one-on-one sessions - I am taking your advice, and it has been a big help in making some business decisions recently. To get this praise and encouragement from someone of your caliber (your work is really quite amazing!) was and is most appreciated. You have made me feel that I do have something to offer photographically; and I am most grateful to hear this from you. Your concept of doing one-on-one sessions was remarkable and extremely rewarding. I hope I didn’t take advantage of this, since I got more than one! I was pleasantly surprised to find how approachable you are!

Being an introvert - and far less skilled and experienced as a photographer – I was afraid I’d have some serious challenges during the workshop....but alas, I found it very easy to ask you about anything. You never made me feel inferior in any way. I felt incredibly comfortable asking questions, and you were always extremely helpful and open with your responses. Another pleasant surprise – how much I learned during this workshop. Not just photographically, but about Lightroom (thanks for that unexpected “crash course”!), passion and vision, portfolios, printing, country-culture-people, the cuisine. All the “extras” you arranged made it a most unique and original journey – the ballet, girl-in-the-wedding-dress shoot, our convertible-car-ride (what a hoot!), the rooftop shoot with birds no less, the restaurants - truly a remarkable journey.

Thank you for sharing yet more info in your email – galleries, competitions, links to different things. You provided a wealth of information during the workshop too. Many photographers/people tend to hoard their tips and knowledge – keep them “close to the vest” – but you shared so much with all of us.

With my most sincere thanks and very best wishes for health, happiness, – and fine photography!

Jill - Richmond, VA

For me, you certainly reached the following goals. 1) had plenty of opportunities to create great images; 2) learned something that would be useful in the long term (I learned so much my head was about to explode with information!!) and 3) had fun (still laughing) As well as the above I truly had the most amazing holiday of my life! I have been on many interesting holidays from trekking the Great Wall to horse riding in the Sacred Valley in Peru and your trip wins hands down.

Firstly from the moment I sent you the initial contact mail expressing my interest in your workshop you have been so helpful, you have helped choosing all my equipment and answered all my many questions. From the initial contact I knew I had chosen the right photographer to travel with!! Prior to the trip the mass of information you sent us on preparation etc. was of huge benefit and ensured we didn't forget anything. In Cuba, I enjoyed sharing your company and hanging onto your every word when talking about photography, workflow, composition, etc. etc., I am hoping you didn't think I was stalking you at some stages but I really didn't want to miss a minute of learning from you. I enjoyed your cool, laid back attitude to our 'schedule' in that if we passed somewhere interesting we could spend a minute or an hour there!!

I admired your calm personality as looking after photographers of differing personalities all wanting a piece of you cannot be easy. As well as a gifted photographer, you are kind and generous with both your time and knowledge. From walking Cuba with you I now am more confident in approaching people for their photos, I now look at taking photos in a different way, you have taught me to look at everything with more 'photographer' than 'tourist' eyes!!! I now have Lightroom (thank you) and I have been introduced to workflow which I can now learn more about.

I find it hard to put into words how much I loved Cuba, it has a very special place in my heart now. Cuba is beautiful, friendly, interesting, unique, unusual, unpredictable, full of amazing people and an is an amazing place to photograph. I hope my photos do it some justice :) I loved every minute of walking along the old streets and taking everything just as it came to us. Because you have been there many times and have extensive knowledge of Cuba, you took us to places we would not have seen without you...Everything was very well organized and we didn't really have to think about anything only taking photos which is what we went to Cuba for.

I really hope to do one of your trips again, I learned more in 2 weeks with you than I have learned in months doing courses etc!!!!

Siobhain - Ireland



(excerpt from video)...The trip has been extraordinarily well organized...I have to say that this has really blown away an expectations I had. I learned a lot from you.

(from email)...I just want to thank you again for an amazing trip and experience. You (and your team) put together a really top notch photography workshop. I learned a great deal from you (sometimes just by watching you). I came away greatly encouraged and inspired and feel comfortable moving to a higher level without having to alter my direction. The trip was also great deal of fun and a huge cultural experience. Thank you for introducing me to Cuba and sharing it with me. I look forward to returning there with you in together.

Wink - Texas

Totally blew me away! It was awesome! Everything that was planned for us was above and beyond my expectations...What I found out is that I loved shooting people. But one of my fears was approaching people, because I'm a little shy, and approaching people to do something that's kind of intimate like taking a picture of them, can be a little intimidating. So, I worked one-on-one with Lorne and he gave me a lot of great tips, a lot of great advice. I came out of the one-on-one session with a new found passion for shooting people and now I'm kind of obsessed with it...This trip has been life changing just personally, but also for my passion of photography. I think it's helped (me) grow and put me in a new direction I didn't expect, so it's almost priceless to me. Thank you Lorne, it's been amazing.

Sarah - Illinois

This was a really wonderful workshop and I've done many workshops. I thought Lorne was wonderful, in that he gave me a whole new way of looking at my photos.

Sue - New York

This has blown my expectations away! And unfortunately for me, I think this has set the bar rather high for future trips. This has been one of those trips where you are so happy you are here. We never could have done this by ourselves - the connections that he has, the ideas he has, the instruction that he gives us, one-on-one and in groups, has been invaluable - it's been a lot of fun.

Matt - Pennsylvania

Our trip to Cuba completely exceeded our expectations and we give you all the credit for that. I felt like we had known each other for years after just our first evening in Cuba and my love for the country and admiration for you continued to grow as the trip progressed. As a non-photographer participant, I found myself studying the way you interacted with each member of the group – learning their temperament and their approach to their art and meeting them where they were rather than imposing your method on them. That is a true gift that very few teachers possess.

Your passion for Cuba was absolutely infectious and I find that I am missing it more every day. Everyone I talk to about the trip asks me what I thought of Cuba and your description seems most apt...it is a truly complex country with a rich and unusual history filled with some of the most beautiful and generous people we have had the pleasure to meet. We will be forever changed by this experience...I want to especially thank you for all of the activities you planned for us and the thoughtful way in which you organized the entire stay. It was a perfect combination of structured and free time. Trinidad was amazing and the timing of that excursion was perfect. Each day seemed to layer over the next in a way that enhanced the prior experience and piqued our curiosity about the subsequent ones. The last two days were incredible! Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the last afternoon and evening were even more incredible.

Finally, I want to thank you for inspiring a scientific, non-creative type to pick up a camera and discover the joy of capturing a beautiful image. I’ve had so much fun working with my photos and look forward to putting my new skills to work on my upcoming trips.

Melissa - Oregon



This was a great trip! I learned a ton of stuff - it had just the right mix of structured and unstructured time. We went to some places that I never possibly could have gone to, which were really cool. And the people were fabulous - not only Lorne and his assistants, but the rest of the participants were just the kind of people you want to hang with.

Ken - California



So to sum up so far.....what a highlight reel that trip was!! I had such a great time and I appreciate all your work and everything you did to make it just one heck of a great trip!

Ralph - Seattle

I want to thank you for a great trip with exceptional opportunities. The night on the rooftop was one of the most incredible experiences that I can remember. While the dancing was good, what happened after was priceless! Kelcie and I both fell in love with the country... I would love to see more of the country and just spend time sitting on the Prado doing little or reading a book! What an awesome place! I couldn't have had a better person show me Cuba. Your love for the country was obvious and it rubbed off. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience.

Betsy - Louisiana

This was a fantastic trip! I got everything I wanted to photograph and I've only scratched the surface - I look forward to coming back. The way you handled things is just the way I like to travel. You allowed us the freedom and independence most workshops do not provide, yet you were there for us whenever we needed help. I wouldn’t change a thing!

David - New Jersey

Hi Lorne, I very much enjoyed the trip to Cuba thanks to your leadership, friendliness, good humor, shooting opportunities, and excellent organization! Your assistant was also first rate and we were fortunate to have such a fun loving, simpatico group of people.

I valued the freedom we had to go off on our own and miss a group activity if necessary to follow our photographic interests, rhythm of shooting, or individual needs. I found your major lesson about optimizing in Lightroom and doing creative work in Photoshop to be very valuable as was your approach to rating images in Lightroom. Your discussion about how to approach images and use various adjustment layers including sharpening and adding grain to eliminate the flat digital look in prints was excellent. I also found the one-on-one mini lessons to be very helpful. You were generous with your time and information and I appreciated the opportunity to discuss all things photographic. I value your detailed sharing of photographic resources and particularly like the beautiful journal you gave us (and the lessons inside). I always look forward to your newsletter.

Photographing the boxing was a highlight and shooting the young girl in the red 1959 Chevy Impala in Trinidad was a brilliant, fun idea. The surprise was fabulous and a great treat! I treasure that experience. Thanks for your generosity!

I have and will continue to recommend your Cuba trip to photographer friends of mine and hope that our travel paths will cross in the future. You were terrific and the trip was truly wonderful!

Jacob - California



I do think the goals you mention were amply met: plenty of opportunities to create our best images, learning new and useful things, and HAVING FUN. (Even if the latter required staying up WAY past my bedtime). The location of the Havana hotel was good, the chance to meet the two families was great, the ideas about where to go very helpful. Video lesson was excellent, thanks for that. And my granddaughter loved the Che bracelet, so extra thanks for that! All in all, it was quite an experience - a lot packed into a short time!

Ginna - California

Lorne Resnick knows Cuba well, and his groups benefit from his knowledge and experience. He's generous with his knowledge and you can't help but learn from him while on the trip. The daily routine is flexible enough for all members. You can stick with Lorne if you want, or you can venture off on your own. This is a great way to combine learning about Cuba with learning about photography."
Chuck - Virginia

Cuba was a sensational experience. Brian and I still talk about this trip to everybody, it's just impossible not to get touched or moved by their people and way of life.

Lorne, I really believe you've achieved all the goals possible. Overall it is clear that you have a great deal of experience in handling this workshop in Cuba. Everybody had a lot of options, different things to do, itinerary, places, people to see, everything there to make to sure we all got our best photos in the bag! Nothing much to add but a huge thank you for sharing your technique, insights and experience with a bunch of strangers!

Mayra - Florida

I wanted to thank you so much for the adventure, humor, inspiration and for sharing your passion of photography. The trip to Cuba and the experience of another culture, great people, great food and meeting new friends is so what life is about for us. Thank you for coordinating everything and being a great travel companion. Thank you again for making the trip possible.

I shared some pictures from the trip with some friends just this week and it brought back a lot of great memories. Melissa and I so enjoyed sharing in your passion for the work that you do and just the simple things like helping me change my camera settings to assist me in taking a better image was huge. Besides dealing with each member of the group and their uniqueness with a smile and humor – you’re a great mentor for sharing a craft that seems so simple and yet can be so complex. Thank you again so much for sharing your life, your passion, your images and friendship with Melissa and I on an unforgettable experience!

Mark - Oregon



Lorne is very creative and very sharing...he shares his knowledge with all the participants...there is no limit on the amount of time he will spend with you, no limit on the amount of detail he will go into with you. It's a wonderful workshop, a lot of fun and the surprises he comes up with will blow your mind.




I have had a wonderful time on this trip as a non-photographer...it’s been one of the best trips…and I thank you and I would definitely come back again and do more photo workshops with you...

Tom & Marian - Illinois

Many thanks for a really great trip that fulfilled all my expectations and much more. The details were very well thought out. The glory of Cuba is unmatched in my humble opinion, and I would return tomorrow if possible, so please keep updates on future trips coming.

Ray - Georgia

Thank you for a fantastic, once in a lifetime, fabulous trip! You did a great job pulling it all together and picking great places to take us to.

Sallie - New York

My trip to Cuba was absolutely memorable! I feel as though I met some wonderful people, and would not hesitate to do it again, and probably will! I will also recommend you to my friends, I felt that you were very much in charge. The trip was well planned and well thought out, and most importantly well executed.

Carmen - New York



I'd say I've been on about ten photographic trips...and I would definitely put this trip among the top...two. I was going to say one, but it seems like I might be exaggerating, but I can't think of another one that was as good as this!

Jeff - California

Thanks again for a wonderful trip...I had such a great time...you're the best!!!

Barb - California



Linda - New Jersey

If you want to want to see and experience Cuba from an insider's perspective, then Lorne's Cuba photo workshop should not be missed. The Cuban landscape and historic cities are gorgeous to photograph, in addition to the friendly and energetic Cuban people. Lorne's knowledge of Cuba, along with his love of travel photography, made this a very special trip. It was a well planned workshop, and you will walk away with great photo's, valuable instruction, and new friends.

Diane - Colorado

Lorne's Cuba workshop is a fabulous photographic journey! With his many years of traveling to Cuba, this is the opportunity of a lifetime to photograph spectacular sights and friendly Cuban people as you experience this historical place. It seems every step you take is another chance for a photo! Yes, you will learn about Cuba - but more importantly, you will be with a talented professional photographer who will increase your photography skill levels. This is a trip not to be missed!

Tom - California

As for comments on the course, I have nothing but good things to say. First of all I want to thank you for the dedicated hours you spent...giving an honest critique of my images. I feel I learned a lot from you and your approach to shooting emotion. I did get more comfortable as the course went along in getting in close to strangers.

Lew - Florida

Lorne - The Cuba trip was great! Everything I expected and more. I appreciated your exposing us to so many photo opportunities.
I felt like a kid in a candy store walking around old Havana. The people were as warm and friendly as the climate.

Hugh - Iowa

Lorne's workshop really helped me get clear about my direction and focus in my photography. He is full of information about every aspect of photography from business to creativity and finding your own voice. He is willing to answer any question asked and will give all the information he has on the topic with enthusiasm. He gave me useful feedback on my work that really had me think about my compositions and what I am trying to express as an artist. Lorne also covered a lot of critical topics that were not touched upon in art school from dealing with digital files to marketing.

Lexie – California
This is a thank you for amazing time we had in Cuba. It was every bit as colorful and exciting as we expected. Your love for the country its people was very much in evidence from the beginning to the end. We were highly impressed with your knowledge of the history of Cuba, its customs and traditions, and most especially how to navigate the country with its own unique system. It was a pleasure meeting photographers from around the country and we so enjoyed our time with them, with you and your great assistant. We would highly recommend it to anyone considering making this journey.

Quietly disguised as a Travel Photography workshop, the field and discussion sessions with Lorne encouraged me to push my photographic vision beyond the ordinary. Even the locations he chose were off the beaten path and a lot of fun. His critiques were carefully thought out and provided truly useful insight, giving me a practical framework for evaluating images, and a sense of my own style, far better than what I'd come in with. This workshop had more impact on my photography than any other I've attended.

I read a lot about Lorne Resnick in some American photo magazines and that's why I decided to participate in his workshop. Lorne took us to the most beautiful places and taught us how to take pictures of them in an amazing ways. Lorne's workshop was very informative and I had the experience of a lifetime with him.

I always loved taking pictures, but never really considered actually doing it for a living. Lorne showed me what it takes to turn a hobby into a business. He taught me the importance of balancing creative and administrative work; never taking my eye off financial goal, but also never giving up on creative aspirations. He instilled in me a newfound confidence in my work, providing me encouragement and acknowledging my talent. Lorne was the catalyst I needed to kick-start my photography business.

Lorne’s workshop was an unforgettable experience. I learned more from him than I did in my conventional classes. He was thorough in all aspects, from how to shoot to reviewing and critiquing your own work. He shared his knowledge of photography and years of experiences with great passion. The information I walked away with was invaluable. I left feeling more enlightened, confident and eager about getting behind the camera.
