An Introduction to Rodney and the Photo Tours Story
About Rodney
Rodney S. Braun has been a professional portrait photographer in Winnipeg since 2000 with five solo art shows and two books to his credit.
Rodney leads teaching tours in landscape and portrait photography to Utah, California and the Dominican Republic.
He earned his Masters in Photographic Arts in 2008. While he has won many awards in Canada the two “Manitoba Photographer of the Year” awards (2008 and 2014) are the ones that mean the most to him.
From 2011 on, Rodney has taught photography at RRC Polytech and oversees the department. He also started YouTubing.
Rodney enjoys cooking meat to perfection, making sure no one is hug-deficient, and sharing his knowledge creatively.
Back in 2013, Rodney found himself in need of inspiration–something to re-awaken his love of photography. He searched and searched for beautiful scenery within driving distance of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and fell in love with the Southwestern States. One trip led to another and in the winter of 2015, he led his first tour group. Soon, he had his own custom touring van, and met many wonderful people who shared his love for the beautiful places he found.
Things have changed over the years. Though the van is gone, and Covid lockdowns stopped him for a time, Rodney expanded his sights beyond the States and has led tours to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. Check back soon for tour dates in 2025.
