“Varina is an exceptional teacher (I've experienced hundreds over the years and she is among the very best, if not at the top).

She teaches landscape photography and processing along with her husband and colleague, photographer Jay Patel.
BL: What is your photographic specialty and how did you become interested in it?
Patel: I am a wilderness and nature photographer.
I love brilliant light, minimalist compositions, and macro photography but as long as I can shoot outdoors I’m happy. I started shooting as a kid and learned to develop film in a darkroom in middle school. By the time I reached high school, I knew I wanted to go pro and I did so in 2005.
