This workshop focuses on improving your landscape photography skills and making great photographs of the Grand Canyon. The workshop takes place during the monsoon season and coincides with the full moon. The monsoon season is a great time to capture the canyon with stormy skies and dramatic light, and it's when I have made some of my most dramatic photographs of the Grand Canyon.
Small Group Size
I run workshops with smaller groups so that we can photograph from areas that aren't spacious enough to support large groups and so that I can give each of you more one-on-one instruction. For these reasons, this workshop is limited to 6 participants.

Photography Locations
We will photograph from a mix of named and unnamed locations in the park. Due to the nature of chasing light and adapting to the unpredictability of monsoon weather, it's impossible to guarantee that we will stop at any specific location or capture lightning and rainbows. As photographers, we must be able to adapt to changes in light & weather and constantly adapt. This means that while we may go somewhere with a specific shot in mind, we will be ready to adapt to changes and see the new opportunities as they are presented.

Itinerary
The workshop begins on day 1 with a meet & greet on the patio at Kaibab Lodge. Afterward, we will caravan into the park for the first photography session, during which I will cover how I configure my camera for landscape photography to maximize image quality. I will also introduce you to my image capture workflow, which I use to get consistent focus and exposure results. After sunset, we will travel back to the lodge.
Days 2 and 3 begin very early so that we can be set up and ready to photograph the first light of the day. After sunrise, we will drive back to the lodge with a stop to photograph the bison if they are in the meadow near the entrance to the park. You will have an opportunity to rest during a mid-day break so that you and your camera batteries are recharged and ready to take advantage of the late light. We will caravan back into the park mid-afternoon and make stops to photograph from several viewpoints on the canyon's rim. If weather and atmospheric conditions permit, we will also photograph the canyon under the moonlight with the night sky above the canyon.
We will start early again on the last day of the workshop. After sunrise, we will return to Kaibab Lodge for breakfast and a workshop review. I'll be available throughout the morning to answer any follow-up questions about the topics covered during the workshop.

Lodging is Included
This workshop includes private lodging in cabins at Kaibab Lodge, just a few miles from the entrance to the North Rim.
