ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Join me in one of my favorite parks of all time, Yellowstone! My first of many publications for National Geographic came from this park 16 years ago and it keeps me coming back for more and more! We will begin this adventure by spending 5 days and 4 nights in America's first National Park, Yellowstone, followed by 2 incredible nights in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park is home to the largest collections of geysers. We will have the opportunity to capture many of the iconic features in the park including Old Faithful, Yellowstone Falls, Mammoth Hot springs, tons of wildlife, and also numerous thermal features. In the field, we will have in depth discussions on how to create compelling compositions during the day, under the milky way. Don't worry, we will have plenty of daytime shooting in this workshop as well. This workshop will have both morning, evening, and night sky shoots spread out, so we do not burn ourselves out. There will be time to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful scenery on your own during some days as well.

LODGING
There are many places to stay, and or camp. Please contact me for the schedule. We will cover the bottom half of the park the first 2 nights around Old Faithfull, and then the last 2 in Canyon Village. Our Final 2 nights will be in the Tetons. You can make arrangements between Jackson Hole and Moran, WY. Moran will be a little closer to our shooting locations, but Jackson Hole has way more to choose from in terms of hotels and resturants.
