Candace

Hi, I'm Candace.

I'm passionate about blending fine art, storytelling, and conservation to capture the spirit of wild places. Through immersive tours and powerful imagery, I invite you to connect deeply with nature and experience the awe of the natural world—from remote mountain landscapes to intimate wildlife encounters.

Experience the Wild

Join me on an unforgettable journey into the wild—where wolves roam, bears fish for salmon, orangutans swing through the rainforest, and big cats rule the savanna. These small-group tours offer rare, respectful encounters with wildlife and the chance to connect deeply with nature through guided photography and conservation-focused experiences.

Candace is a wonderfully talented photographer and outdoor leader. Her workshop was a joy as a student and fellow photographer. She made me feel comfortable, confident and safe in a rugged environment and provided top notch instruction so I could concentrate on improving my skills. I really had a wonderful time & learned a lot. I was impressed with the skill level of my fellow students and found that inspiring and fun to see their work and then watch them work. It was really a wonderful trip and I loved getting to know/meet passionate & talented people. I hope we can keep in touch & find some more time in the happy places together!! For me the time we spent together was a treasure I’ll remember for the rest of my life. And for that, I thank you!

I have only participated in a few workshops but this was by far the best. My main goal was to just get exposure to the thought process, approaches, composition styles, and interactions of leaders who I admire and respect. Candace's workshop exceeded my expectations in this regard. The workshop was everything I thought it would be and more. If someone asks for a recommendation, Candace Dyar Workshops will be the first I recommend.

Candace is personable, informative, and very giving. I really appreciated her help and knowledge of the area as well as her knowledge of photography. I do think the planning and organizing for this week long workshop was fantastic! Candace was flexible with strong alternatives when the weather didn’t cooperate. It felt very organized with her knowing the details, tides, and best times for shooting in various areas.

Even though plans needed to change at times, it still felt very organized and well put together.

Thank you for a most memorable, enjoyable workshop!

Candace is fun, knowledgeable, steers you to great places to take wonderful photos, and provides all the help you need to take best advantage of your gear.

As I’ve aged, I can see that getting one truly amazing artistic shot, is worth more than 50 documentary shots. Candace opened my eyes to new ways of seeing and capturing beauty that I had not considered. I can’t recommend her highly enough! Fantastic workshop in the Eastern Sierras!

I have pretty high expectations for things and I was definitely satisfied by my experience. I want to emphasize that I had a really had a good experience. It can be tough for me to get out and do new things, but Candace made it so easy, comfortable and I got great experience in a type of photography I’ve never done before, which is exactly what I was looking for!!! Candace's Mount St Helens workshop was awesome!

Cindy T.

Candace's Leavenworth Workshop was a blast! So much laughter, great photography advice, and fun daily field trips. Back to reality...damn.

Candace was even kind enough to let me use both her camera and tripod when mine stopped working! And she let me borrow her charger as well! What a life safer.

Thank you so much, Candace!
