The ruggedness of the great American West comes alive in the craggy cliffs, pine-covered slopes and sweeping meadows of the Big Horn Basin in Wyoming — especially during winter. Powdery snow blankets the dramatic landscapes, where classic images of the Old West can still be captured. Cowboys on horseback herd cattle across the vast plains, as the weather-beaten Big Horn Mountains provide dramatic backdrops.
Opportunities to photograph these iconic Western images take place at The Hideout Lodge & Resort at a historic 300,000-acre working cattle ranch located near Shell, Wyoming. This workshop begins at the Yellowstone Regional Airport in Cody, Wyoming, where participants will be transported to the ranch for their first meet-and-greet session. Over the next week, workshop instructor, Jeff Kida, Arizona Highways Photography Editor, will show participants how to use the low-hanging clouds and long shadows of winter light, as well as the stark and frosty landscapes and an old homestead constructed of hand-hewn logs, to create stunning images of working cowboys and their horses.
Surrounded by meadows, alpine forests, mountain passes and badlands, The Hideout provides top-notch accommodations that include luxurious Western-style guest cabins, gourmet meals, and an inviting main lodge, where critiques take place each evening. Jeff will offer hands-on shooting techniques during both spontaneous and planned activities, including crafting portraits of rugged cowboys and wranglers, as well as the ranch’s resident horse-whisperer. Join us for this unique opportunity to learn from a working professional in a beautiful and pristine American West setting.
The price of this workshop is all-inclusive, and covers transportation, meals, model fees and lodging during the workshop.
