Description
Yellowstone National Park is a paradise for creating intimate landscapes (Small Scenes). The possibilities for creating meaningful photographs unique to your vision are endless. Photographers often overlook Yellowstone because it lacks the obvious grand scenics that draw people to other national parks; instead, it is a park filled with natural wonders which require time to explore more deeply.
One of the unique aspects of Yellowstone National Park is the incredible array of thermal features. From bubbling hot springs and geysers to boiling mud pots, these natural wonders provide endless opportunities for capturing intimate landscapes. The bacterial mats surrounding these thermal features are a fascinating subject to photograph, with their intricate patterns and vibrant colors.
In addition to the thermal features, Yellowstone also boasts stunning canyon walls and waterfalls, which provide endless inspiration for the contemplative photographer. The park's diverse ecosystems, from forests and meadows to rivers and lakes, offer a wide range of photographic opportunities.
During our workshop, we will focus on practicing Slow and Contemplative Photography techniques, allowing us to connect with the landscape and uniquely capture its beauty. We will spend time exploring the park and discovering its hidden gems, slowing down and noticing the details that often go unnoticed.
This workshop is designed for photographers who understand their camera well and want to challenge their creativity to find their unique vision of the world. Join us in Yellowstone National Park for an unforgettable photography experience.
What is Included
What is Not Included
* Please note that carpooling is REQUIRED. We must get down to three vehicles for our group since parking can be a challenge at times.
Important Note: This workshop is focused on intimate landscapes, also known as small scenes. Although we may photograph grand landscapes if the opportunity arises, it will not be our main focus. Additionally, we will not be stopping for wildlife sightings as we have specific timelines to adhere to, and getting stuck in a wildlife jam would not be conducive to achieving our goals.
