Testimonials

"WOW! Your workshop at Future Light Workshops did just bring me forward in my own photography. You’ve answered questions I’ve had for months on developing a rational workflow and effectively using the latest digital photography tools. The combination of Uwe and Brad as expert instructors, the flexibility to meet individual participant’s needs, and hands-on experience with the technologies under discussion was both unique and highly effective. In reflecting on this experience, I feel that on my own I could have spent the next year and likely not learned as much – not a bad return on what was a fun and stimulating weekend. I look forward to future workshops.” David Thomas 2008

"I enjoyed your workshop a great deal. I felt that you were giving us cutting edge techniques. I don't know of any one who is experimenting and sharing the results in the way that you are have done. Brad's knowledgeable assistance and his fabulous equipment is a unique situation for a workshop. I may try to take it again." (October 2007, Larry Larsen)

Bettina + Uwe Steinmueller

Bettina and Uwe Steinmueller are born in Germany but live and work in the US for now over 10 years. Both work as a photographer team – Bettina with the prime focus on the artistic expression and Uwe handling both the art and the digital workflow. The main subjects are nature and urban landscapes and their hidden details. Bettina + Uwe’s work is known worldwide. They both run Digital Outback Photo (www.outbackphoto.com) which is one of the premier digital fine art websites in the world (6 million visitors per year).

Uwe is recognized as one of the leading photography workflow experts. He is not only using tools but has influenced many well known products. Uwe has published numerous books in German (two times won the German “Photobuch Preis”) and English. For Uwe the photographic result is most important and the technical aspects only the means to get there. This means Uwe does not teach what tools can do but instead how they help to improve capturing your own vision.
