Meet the Team
Hi and Welcome! We are Shanda and Martha, the creatives behind the Outdoor Photo Alliance
More than ever, people are craving real, meaningful connections. We felt that too, the longing for more chances to come together, create alongside others, and grow as photographers. That feeling is exactly what led us to start the Outdoor Photo Alliance. We create unforgettable in-person photography experiences alongside world-renowned photographers, designed to sharpen your skills and reignite your passion for the craft.
Our events, created by photographers who love their craft, are designed to inspire you, help you connect with a worldwide community, transform your photography, and find new inspiration. Our events offer unique, learning experiences in some of the most breathtaking locations on Earth.
Whether you’re chasing a technical breakthrough, looking for your next creative spark, or simply wanting to shoot alongside people who get it, OPA is where it all comes together. Come learn from photographers at the top of their game, get feedback that actually moves the needle, and find your place in a community that shares your passion.
Together we have more than 30 years combined photography experience in a variety of genres and techniques. We are adventurers, passionate lovers of nature, teachers, mentors, and creatives. We’ve been featured in F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Pixels: Exploring the Heart & Art of Photography, On Landscape Magazine, Wild Women in Photography Podcast, Shout Out Colorado, Landscape Photography World Podcast and more.
We can’t wait to meet you at one of our upcoming events!
