TESTIMONIAL
"My closest friend Mike from Wisconsin and I did four days on the Washington Waterfalls photo workshop with professional photographer Scott Setterberg. If you are looking for someone to take a photo tour with, Scott’s your guy. He was filled with photography knowledge that has helped me step up my game with new techniques for shooting, composition and processing my photos. We had a great four days with Scott and will do it again!" ~ Fred R. | Arizona
