MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi I’m Michael Torkildsen, an award-winning photographer with a passion teaching.

I’ve been shooting my whole life but didn’t take my photography serious until 2014.

Since then I’ve gone on to win major photography competitions and become artist in residence at Deception Pass State Park.

At the start of every New Year, I make it a point to lay out a year for photography.

Join me, and let’s capture the beauty that surrounds you!
