Join us in 2012 for several fun and dynamic photography workshops. All of our workshops are designed with one thing in mind: YOU. If you don't finish one of our workshops a more confident and creative photographer, we've failed. We strive to create an inspiring, supportive and fun environment that encourages each participant to discover their own creative vision.

All of our photography workshops are properly permitted by the government agencies responsible for stewarding the wild lands we're photographing. Our workshop leaders will not abandon you to make their own images. You're not paying us to pad our own portfolios at your expense. We believe that by putting you first and operating in an ethical manner we are able to provide you with a first-rate, unforgettable experience.

We realize that you have countless options when choosing a photography workshop and we sincerely appreciate that you're considering one of our events. If there is anything we can do to gain your trust and your business, please don't hesitate to contact us. If you'd like to see what some of our customers have to say about our workshops, please visit our testimonials page.

In this intensive, one-day workshop we'll visit at least three stunning locations around Moab to photograph Canyon Country in the warm light of sunrise and sunset. In the field we'll focus on creating dynamic compositions, using camera settings to maximize creativity and how to use available light to craft your images. We'll also spend some time talking about gear for outdoor photography and experimenting with polarizing and graduated neutral density filters. These workshops are very casual and participants are encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences with one another.

After the morning shoot we'll break for a late breakfast/early lunch at a local diner. There we'll review a few of my prints and I'll discuss what went into making each image from a creative and technical standpoint. Each participant will then share a few of their own images for an interactive critique session. These images can be part of a digital portfolio on an iPad/laptop or hard copy prints. I am often told that this is a favorite part of the workshop. It's also one of the most beneficial as I feel strongly that having your work critiqued and critiquing the work of others is a hugely important part of the creative process.

Each workshop is limited to 5 participants and is open to photographers working at any level, although novices stand to benefit most from the experience. The longest walk we will do is 1/2 mile, round trip, on an improved trail at an elevation of 6,000'. This is not a physically demanding workshop but please wear appropriate clothing and hiking shoes.
