Grand Teton National Park is home to not only some of the most striking mountain peaks in the world, but abundant exotic wildlife and beautiful forests as well. In autumn, it's common for storms to blanket the range in snow, while the surrounding cottonwood and aspen groves are adorned with vibrant, gold leaves. In this five day workshop, Joe and I will be letting the weather and lighting conditions guide us through the range and forests in order to maximize our time during this phenomenal season.
WORKSHOP INFO
For this workshop in Grand Teton National Park, each participant will need to drive themselves. However, we will condense vehicles and car-pool to make it easier to get around and find parking. We will start at our meeting point on day one, which will be provided after signing up. On the first day, we will meet and greet in the afternoon and then set out together for our first sunset excursion. Days 2-4 will allow us to photograph both sunrise and sunset, with some time during the day to rest and recharge. On day 5, the workshop will conclude after photographing sunrise.
We will remain flexible in order to maximize on the lighting and weather conditions we are presented with and photograph whatever kind of scenery would be best complemented by them. However, we will likely be photographing mountain scenes in different locations for our sunrise and sunset outings, and more intimate scenes of fall foliage in the aspen and cottonwood groves during the late morning and afternoon. This time of year offers an abundance of subject matter and we hope to help you experience as much of it as possible. Wildlife can frequently be spotted while we are at different locations or in between outings as we are driving on the road.
This workshop will be suitable for any photography skill level, whether you are just getting started or have been at it for a long time. We are both well experienced in teaching basic photo theory and camera settings. But really, what we are most passionate about is teaching our unique philosophies and approaches to nature photography, which will allow you to really think outside of the box to capture unique images regardless of the weather conditions. Grand Teton National Park in the fall is a fantastic setting to experiment and explore your creativity!
