3 OR MORE DAYS
From Monument Valley to Canyon de Chelly, the Grand Canyon to the Grand Tetons, our field workshops offer breathtaking scenery and the chance to craft memorable photographs. Our experienced photographers will lead you to some of their favorite locations, and will share techniques essential for creating successful photographs. Critiquing sessions of past work or even images taken on the workshop are conducted when possible, so students can glean what they need to work on and what is already successful about their images.
Workshops generally have between 8-15 participants, and our small group sizes allow you to enjoy camaraderie and friendship while sharing both education and adventure. Each day is packed with opportunities to photograph and to learn, as we are often up before sunrise to catch the early morning light and to bed well after sunset's last rays have left the horizon.
The following list is sorted alphabetically. Please select a workshop title to view more details about each or go to our calendar to see when the next workshop will be running.
