Description
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to capture the beauty of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks during the night. With some of the darkest skies in the country, these parks provide the perfect backdrop for stunning night photography. Our workshop will be carefully timed to capture the milky way over the breathtaking landscapes.
During the day, we will teach you simple yet effective techniques for processing your night photos to create stunning images you'll be proud to display. We'll also cover important topics such as scouting, planning, and weather to help you plan and execute your next night shoot. Plus, we'll have an image critique session to help you improve your skills.
To protect their dark skies, light painting is not allowed in Grand Teton or Yellowstone National Parks. Instead, we'll show you how to create beautiful foregrounds using long or twilight exposures that can easily be blended in Photoshop. This skill is becoming increasingly important as more parks ban light painting.
This workshop is perfect for photographers of all skill levels. We'll cover the basics of night photography and touch on more advanced techniques like stacking, but these are optional to create amazing photos. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to capture the beauty of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks at night.

Our Philosophy
We encourage you to find your unique style of creativity with focused training based on your style and skill level. You will experience a rigorous learning experience in the field and the classroom to take your photography to the next level.
Our passion is seeing you grow in your photographic journey. We put your interests ahead of our own. Early on in the workshop, we will not photograph at all. Our focus is your learning experience, and we will not run off to chase the light and leave you behind. As the workshop progresses, we will take a few photos in a limited manner. This is so you can see how we approach a scene, demonstrate techniques, and create comradery with the group. Our focus will always remain with YOU.
We understand everyone comes to workshops at different points in their photography journeys. We will be there to guide and help you, whether you are a beginner or advanced shooter. There is always something to learn about photography, and we will do our best to help you find your creative vision.
Above all, we want this to be a fun experience for you. With our small group size, we get to know our clients very well, and we feel like they are part of our extended family. We do this for the love of photography, and there is nothing that gives us greater joy than seeing our clients grow and find their artistic vision.
This workshop will involve short hikes of 2-3 miles total daily. We will only be on the boardwalks and established trails so the hikes are easy.
