Testimonials
I have taken an abstract photography class from Joe and also participated in one of his Great Falls, Virginia weekend workshops. I plan on signing up for more classes and workshops with him. I would highly recommend Joe to anybody who wants to improve their photography. I walked away with photographs that I would not have been able to get on my own plus an increased set of photographic skills and knowledge. What I liked the most about him is that he puts so much energy into teaching his students and works with each one of them one on one out in the field to be sure that they will come home with some amazing shots. His passion for photography was clearly evident throughout the sessions.

Joe is student oriented. He covers his subjects clearly, in great detail, gives examples, listens, and makes himself available even when the class is completed. Joe follows up with you to make sure you have no questions. You can always reach Joe

Joe is a remarkable photographer...his images are just breathtaking. When you attend one of Joe's workshops you get this full attention and you walk away a better photographer. His engaging personality makes the experience all that much better

I had a great time and learned a lot at Joe's last workshop. Joe taught things I would not be able to get out of a book or magazine. He provides hands-on advice on how to make the most of the current subject or scene conditions - you can not get that out of a publication
Mark Serfass
Joseph has an artistic insight and passion for photography which are inspiring. He is able to enthuse and engage his students to extend their own skills. The suggestions concerning equipment, accessories, planning and technique are invaluable. I would recommend his instruction to anyone and look forward to taking more workshops and classes

Joe is a fantastic instructor. He is very informative and he manages to give each workshop participant as much personal attention as they desire. He is very knowledgeable about his subjects and is always able to answer any questions you may have. I have learned a great deal participating in his Great Falls and West Virginia workshops. He has led me to becoming a much better photographer. You simply can not go wrong with one of Joes workshops

Hi Joe- Just wanted to say thanks again for a great trip! I don't think I've ever been so tired in my life (that means it was great!). I'm just recovering now! I really liked your approach and teaching style. I do think you offer something different than the other workshops. Keep it up! I liked seeing the pictures you took on the trip as part of your lecture. Your images are spectacular. And I also enjoyed the hiking. I went through my pictures quickly and got some really good shots- especially of sunrise

I participated in Joe's winter workshop at Blackwater Falls, WV, his HDR workshop in Annapolis, MD and his spring workshop at Great Falls, VA. As a result, I've taken some giant steps as a photographer. My ability to "see" photos has greatly improved. I've learned a lot about key skills such as digital blending and multiple exposures. I come home with more images that are exhibition quality. The things I've picked up in Joe's classes save me tons of time in post-processing. Joe is a terrific teacher. Whether dealing with the fundamentals or advanced techniques, his zeal and passion for the art shines through. I recommend him to every shooter who wants to take his or her photography to the next level.

I highly recommend Joseph Rossbach’s workshops. His knowledge of photography and artistic talent are outstanding and he is an attentive and personable teacher. His workshops provide an excellent mixture of training and experience so that participants gain fully from Joe’s knowledge.

I just got back from the Vermont workshop, and I wanted to be sure to let you know before too much time passed that it was excellent. I really enjoyed the entire workshop. Joe is a talented leader; he has a great style and he shared his techniques and ideas with everyone in the group and tailored his instruction to each individual. Thanks for providing this opportunity! I'll hope to attend another some day soon.
